BCM - SQL Replication?
"Jeff Lynch" <jeff.lynch[ at ]community.nospam> 2/15/2007 2:19:55 PM
Is it possible to deploy the BCM database to a remote SQL 2005 server (for
office workers) but also have a "local" SQLExpress database on a notebook
which replicates changes back and forth (for mobile workers)?

Yes, this is a new feature in BCM. It's called Offline. You can choose to
enable an offline database when you first connect to the server database.
Once the offline database is configured, you can grab your laptop and run
without having to manually disconnect. When you come back to the office,
just switch to online mode and BCM will synchronize all the changes.

Clinton,

Thanks for responding so quickly.

Can you answer my first question on when the new BCM Database Tool (for
remote SQL deployment) will be available?

If it's within the next two weeks, I'll wait for it. If not, I'll just have
to follow the procedures in the whitepaper. We are looking to purchase
Office 2007 Professional volume licenses for our sales folks and upgrade
from ACT to BCM 2007 as quickly as possible. I'm hoping the new Database
Tool will simplify the initial SQL deployment and allow us to proceed as
soon as possible.
