XStudio 3162

5.2.4.3 Sharing the InvMgr Database

Inventory database files, referred to as the XStudio Inventory Database, are owned exclusively by

XStudio as a default; when XStudio is running, no other application is allowed access to these files.

Any attempts to open, copy or delete these files will be denied by the operating system, as they are

already opened exclusively by XStudio.

Making the database available to other applications, called "sharing," can be accomplished in two

distinct ways. One method is to enable the XStudio Allow Remote Access property in the Inventory

Manager Options section of Preferences, which causes XStudio to function as a database server.

The other method is to use a separate stand-alone database server application, which implements a

client/server relationship between XStudio and the database and makes the database available to

other utility applications as well.

Inventory Database Sharing by Allowing Other Applications to Connect

to XStudio

The easiest and most convenient method of sharing database information with another application is to

enable the Allow Remote Access property in XStudio. Essentially, XStudio becomes a database server

in addition to its other duties.

When XStudio is functioning as a database server, other utility applications designed for use with

XStudio can connect to and view or modify the database depending on the utility application. The utility

might be run on the same PC or might be connecting from some other PC. Consult the utility

application software documentation for details on how to access the database hosted by XStudio.

Effects of Inventory Database Sharing

Sharing of the XStudio inventory database has minimal effects on the operation of XStudio and users

need not change how they do things when working with XStudio. There are some possible side effects

of database sharing to be aware of, though.

Performance

Performance of XStudio can be affected when the database is shared, in the following ways:

1. If XStudio is functioning as a database server in addition to its other duties, application

response time could be a bit slower if one or more utility applications are connected and

performing database-intensive tasks. This occurs because XStudio has to divide its

attention between normal operations and serving the database requests of connected

client applications.

2. When XStudio is functioning as a database server, clients connect via TCP and depending

what client tasks are being performed, network traffic may increase significantly for short

periods of time. This could cause temporary slowdowns in activities that use the network

connection.
