Architecture
Hubble is a Microsoft.NET Windows application that runs under a 2-tier architecture. The application has its own built-in database connectivity layer which is responsible for submitting the queries to the ERP database directly and independently from the ERP application. The software’s configuration and inquiry parameters are stored in a centralized database (an Object Repository) created during the initial installation.
The repository can be created on one of the following different database servers:
Oracle
SQL Server
DB2
The architecture is as follows.
Deployment
The following deployment options are available:
-
Manual desktop deployment
When initially installing and configuring the software, the manual desktop deployment option is used. This same installation process can be used if a small number of additional desktops need to be installed.
-
Terminal server deployment
For larger desktop installations, a terminal server deployment utilizing Windows Terminal Services or Citrix is available.
This option is best for those users who will be accessing the Object Repository and ERP databases from a Wide Area Network (WAN) connection. Terminal server deployment is shown below:
-
Microsoft’s ClickOnce technology
ClickOnce, a Microsoft deployment technology, enables users to install and run an application with minimal IT involvement. This deployment method can be used with Hubble due to the built- in database connectivity layer delivered with the product. All database connectivity is handled within the application, thus eliminating the need for desktop-specific connectivity setup. The software deployment files are stored on a web or network file server, which is referred to as the deployment location. The users access the link and the software is automatically downloaded to the individual workstation. Software updates are delivered automatically and roll-back options are also available. The major benefit of this deployment method is that the desktop deployment version of Hubble can be delivered and managed centrally like a web application. This option requires minimal IT involvement and potentially eliminates the need for costly servers.
ClickOnce Deployment is shown below:
Note: All of the above options can be used in combination to meet the needs of the users and the IT Department.
Database for Object Repository
During the installation of Hubble Desktop, the repository database can be configured in one of the following supported databases:
Microsoft SQL Server
Oracle
IBM AS/400
