Deciding on a location for Delivery Manager

Previous Next

Delivery Manager is a USoft application delivered by USoft (in the same way as USoft Authorizer, USoft Benchmark, and USoft Service Definer).

Each installation of Delivery Manager helps you deliver 1 specific USoft application of your own (the top-level application), optionally including any modules consumed by the top-level application in the case that you use USoft Definer modular development features.

The best location for each Delivery Manager installation is a place that is easily accessed by all contributors to the top-level application and (optionally) its modules.

Roughly, you have a choice between using a separate database account for Delivery Manager (Option 1), or having Delivery Manager share the database or database account that is used for developing the top-level application (Option 2).

In both options, you also need to think about which physical machine(s) you are going to deliver from.
