EnterWorks Services - Precisely_EnterWorks - EnterWorks - 11.0

Standard EnterWorks service distributions

There are two standard configuration for EnterWorks environments:

• Distributed: Used for Production (PROD) and other full implementation environments. EnterWorks services are distributed across multiple servers.
• Standalone: Used for Development (DEV) environments. Typically DEV environments are small scale implementations of non-DEV environments. EnterWorks services are all hosted on one server.

DEV environments

Development (DEV) environments are used for system development and unit-testing purposes. DEV environments typically have a single worker because they do not need to handle the full process load Production (PROD) environments do. A DEV environment is used to develop changes to the EnterWorks data model, workflows, and any custom processing. It generally has a relatively small number of concurrent users and lower rates of data processing. In a DEV environment, all EnterWorks application services except for the database server reside on a single VM. Third-party components, such as Rabbit MQ and Bolt DB, are located on the same VM as the EnterWorks services.

PROD and Non-PROD environments

The PROD and Non-PROD environments are:

• Production (PROD) environments are used for a business’ day-to-day operations.
• Non-PROD refers to non-Production environments (such as QA, TEST, and UAT) that are configured identically to the Production environment but are not used for a business’ day-to-day operations.
