Rockwell Automation RSBizWare Administration Guide - Manual (Page 12)

Chapter 1 Welcome to RSBizWare
• Microsoft Windows operating systems.
• User accounts and security in the enterprise.
• Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle Enterprise Manager.
• Open Database Connectivity (ODBC).
• RSBizWare administrators
Install and configure the RSBizWare system so that it is ready
for use for the end users.
They should be familiar with:
• Microsoft Windows operating systems.
• User accounts and security in the RSBizWare system.
• Open Database Connectivity (ODBC).
• Control system architecture, plant model (physical layout),
and data model.
• If connecting to external databases, the RSBizWare
administrators should be also familiar with the location and
structure (schema) of those databases.
The RSBizWare architecture is highly scalable. You can install the
entire system on a single computer, or you can distribute services
across several computers on a network. For example, you may choose
to install the administrative and data collection services on a
server-class computer in a secured room, while the client software is
installed on several computers throughout your enterprise.
The RSBizWare architecture has been optimized for performance
and ease of administration. This leads to a system in which each
functional application (e.g., FactoryTalk Metrics) is not always
contained in a single software component. In many cases, a
functional application may reside in several of the software
components that make up the RSBizWare architecture.
