The distributed solution of Sybase chain operation

The business structure of the chain business chart is as follows:

The mode of chain operation has the following characteristics:

1. A center, a number of remote chain stores, and each chain distribution in different regions.

2. There is a need to exchange data between remote chain stores and centers, such as the sales of products, sales, and so on each day to the head office, and the head office to send notices, product price adjustments and other data to the chain store. But this data exchange does not require real-time communication, but only when needed to exchange data.

3. The line between the chain store and the head office cannot be used for real-time communication, most of which may be connected by telephone dialing.

4. Each chain store does not have a dedicated system administrator to maintain the application system, so that the chain of systems should be a maintenance-free application system.

Based on the above situation, we propose Sybase's chain management distributed solution.

Solution Structure

After careful study and detailed discussion of the requirements of the chain operation, considering the security of data transmission and the scalability of the business, Sybase recommends the following system scenarios.

The whole system consists of three parts, the central database, the synchronization server and the remote database. The central database can be Sybase ASA, ASE, Oracle, IBM DB2, or MS SQL Server, and the synchronization server employs Sybase's sophisticated, processing-capable Mobilink server; The remote database employs Sybase's high-performance , easy to maintain ASA database. This solution has the following characteristics in the software and business process processes:
