Mirrored Servers

It has been discussed before, and Epicor has put their blessings on it.

You can perform this type of function via Progress's Fathom Replication
Server software. This appliation will in effect mirror your Primary
Progress server. In fact, Epicor has some customers who are doing this
already.

We are running Vantage 8.06 and continue to have performance (speed)
issues. Part of the problem "appears" to be that running certain
reports loads the server up. These are custom reports that
essentially are what if MRP analysis. One idea we have is to buy a
second server and mirror it to the primary live server. Use the
second server for reports and simulation analysis. Anyone out there
doing this? Opinions or thoughts on the concept?

If you are going to use the second server for reporting purposes, are
you considering CorVu? Epicor told us if we were to use CorVu, it would
have to be on a second server because our huge db (over 22 GB now)
wouldn't be too happy with another application on it.

What CorVu is supposed to do is replicate the db to its server and run
reports from there, allowing good performance on the Vantage server.

Epicor told me there is a Progress product that can be used for failover
purposes, but they don't support anything that could be used for load
balancing.

If you want more processing power, you are probably better off to upgrade
your existing server. Alternatively, you might be able to do something like
this: We used to use a second server with a copy of the Vantage database
made from the previous day's backup. We used this for running historical
analysis and reporting.

Brian
CorVu doesn't exactly replicate the DB it instead builds a dynamart of specific data that has been extracted for the provided reports. If you want other data you must write your own queries. We found too that the Vantage dynamart was larger than our Vantage DB. It is still a nice solution for reporting but when we tried to run it on another server it had all sorts of "rights" issues and failed to login properly to run the nightly update. We are now adding disk to the Vantage server to try to run it there. Our DB is only 1.6GB.

I just received a recommendation from Epicor for a Veritas product that creates a "Hot Standby" server that can be used specifically for that purpose.
