Process
Controllers
There are two types of controllers in the Gentran:Server system:
◗ A single primary system controller
◗ One or more secondary controllers (if required)
Primary system
controller
The primary system controller controls the management and dispatching of
processing requests within the system, manages the audit functionality, and
controls all other system components.
Secondary
controllers
If you purchased a distributed license, you can deploy additional controllers
(secondary controllers) across the Windows network to allow the processing load
to be distributed for fast and efficient throughput. The secondary controller can be
either or both of the following:
Process controller
The process controllers provide similar functions to the primary system controller.
They are controlled by the primary system controller and are used to distribute
processes across multiple machines in a Windows network.
Communication controller
The communication controllers regulate communication between Gentran:Server
and the organizations (value-added networks (VANs) or trading partners) with
whom data is exchanged. The communication controllers can support leased or
dialed connections, as well as interaction with third-party communication
packages using the file interface capability.
A communication controller is installed via a communications gateway.
User interface
clients
The user interface clients provide the functions that are necessary to monitor and
control the system. The main data management component provides a graphical
user interface to the following:
◗ Document locations
◗ Partner profiles
◗ Communication setup and logs
◗ System Audit Log
◗ Process control setup and management
