Application domains for several retailers
A manufacturing company has a central StreamServe installation for a network of several retailers. Each retailer uses StreamStudio Collector to access documents.
One Collector archive for each retailer
For document storage, the manufacturing company uses one Collector archive for each retailer. Each retailer can then access their own documents, and not the documents stored by any other retailer.
One application domain for each retailer
The manufacturing company uses one application domain for each retailer. Each application domain contains (at least) one StreamServer application, one runtime repository, and one Archiver application. An identical Design Center Project is deployed to all StreamServer applications in all the application domains. Each application domain is connected to a separate Collector archive.
Note:
If the manufacturing company would want the retailers to access each others documents, a central Collector archive could be used instead.
Two StreamStudio web portals
The manufacturing company uses two Java application servers for the StreamStudio web applications for the retailers.
In Control Center, two StreamStudio web portals are configured for the two Java application servers. Each application domain is connected to one of these portals. To enable the use of StreamStudio, each application domain also includes a service gateway.
In the user directory of the manufacturer, each retailer is associated with an application domain. When retailers log in to the Collector web application, each retailer can only access their own application domain. After logging in, the retailer is connected to the Collector archive for the retailer’s application domain and can access documents created via this application domain.
