The DM Multi-Tier Architecture
The DM Multi-Tier Architecture
DM is an application that runs on Windows NT/2000/XT Pro systems.
As shown in the illustration below, the DM API provides a basic set of
operations that interface with the DM Server. Client applications—
whether the DM Webtop, any of the DM Extensions, or custom
software you might develop—extend the DM API by providing a user
interface and any other functionality appropriate to the new
application.
DM Functionality
The diagram below illustrates how multiple clients can connect to a
single DM Server and how a DM Server can connect to multiple DM
repositories. A DM repository is comprised of the Document File Store,
the SQL database, and the full-text indexer.
