Process-Based Design

Although client workstations can have more than one copy of EnterpriseOne loaded, only one EnterpriseOne Windows-executable application can be running at any one time. The software uses an internal network process (also referred to as a net process) called JDENet to communicate a request to the EnterpriseOne server.

Servers also have a net process called JDENet. This process communicates with the client workstations and routes request messages to appropriate dedicated EnterpriseOne processes. In turn, the dedicated processes route work to the appropriate platform-specific logic processes, such as DLLs, shared libraries, and job queues. A server can have multiple EnterpriseOne main processes, multiple dedicated processes, multiple DLLs, shared libraries, and job queues.

The advantage of this architecture is that multiple workstations can make requests to the same server at one time. You can control the number of workstations that can make and maintain a session connection to a main server process. You also can define the total number of dedicated processes (and the number of each type) that the software uses to process specific types of workstation requests.
