Web Client

FDM Web Server components can be installed on a Web server running IIS 6.0 or higher. The components enable users to access FDM applications from the Internet or from a corporate intranet. The Web-based interface provides access to all end-user features and most administrator features of FDM.

FDM Application Server enables FDM to execute resource-intensive tasks on one or more application servers, instead of on the Web server. To minimize network traffic and increase data transfer rates, installing the Application Server component on a server other than the Web or data (SQL or Oracle ) server is recommended.

FDM Load Balance Manager enables FDM to manage the application servers that execute resource-intensive tasks. Installing Load Balance Manager on the first application server is recommended.

FDM Task Manager runs scheduled tasks (FDM scripts) at specified intervals (daily, weekly, or monthly). You can also use Task Manager to add, modify, and delete tasks. Task Manager can be installed on any server that has access to the FDM application.
