The system structure is based on a 3-tier architecture in which the following functional layers are defined:
User and business data are stored exclusively in the central relational database system (e.g.: Oracle RDBMS or PostgreSQL RDMBS). During development, in selecting the supported database management system components the priority is decided based on the following main aspects:
The development methodology applied by Online Business Technologies makes it possible that operation on different database platforms is supported solely through changes in the technological layer without modifying the business logic. Therefore the technological roadmap contains plans to develop support for further database management software (e.g. DB2, MS-SQL).
All business logic runs on the application server. A web server keeps the connection with the client.
The applied JAVA client provides a graphical user interface, it has been designed following the thin client principle. This means that the client application does not store data on the client workstation and does not contain preinstalled software components. Only data entry and display procedures, and screen handling elements are managed. The JAVA client program can be started from a browser or a shortcut icon placed on the desktop, possible update functionality is handled automatically by the Java WebStart technology. Communication with the server is encrypted and is based on the SSL protocol.
