Terms used in networked CC MIS (Part 1 of 2)
Definition
A partition that provides consolidated access to
one or more local partitions in the network.
Note: NAPs can only exist on a CC MIS system
whose license keycode allows at least one NAP
to be defined.
A partition that provides access to local data
only.
A collection of nodes. Depending on the type of
network (physical or virtual), the nodes can be
the actual servers or partitions.
A network of CC MIS systems.
Note: All systems must be running the same
CC MIS software release (or a compatible
release). The IP addresses of the host systems
are specified in the Physical Network screen.
With CC MIS Release 6.0, a network can
comprise CC MIS Release 6.0 or CC MIS
Release 5.2 systems or both. However, in a
mixed-release network, different versions of the
CC MIS client must be used to access the
different versions of the CC MIS servers.
A network that consists of local partitions that
can be accessed by the NAP (defined in the
Virtual Network screen).
