Hi Everyone,
There is a requirement that all wrapper type applications (TAPIR, DiGIR, BioCASe and others) have but that I don't think we address.
All instances need to have:
Either a database on a server in a DMZ or with an ISP with the ability to export data from the production database to the public database and then keep changes in the production database synchronize with the public database.
Or the ability to provide a secured/restricted connection directly to production database through the firewall.
Configuring the wrapper software against a database seems a smaller problem than getting a handle on an up to date database to configure it against!
Should we have a recommended strategy or best practice for overcoming these problems? Do we have any figures on how they are overcome in the existing BioCASe and DiGIR networks?
Many thanks for your thoughts,
Roger
