Multiple users and offline usage
Todd 3/15/2007 10:40:28 PM
I would like to setup a central SQL Express 2005 db server so 3 employees can
use a shared db. But I would also like to use BCM offline while traveling.

Does BCM support this? Can I setup a local SQL Express on my laptop then
replicate the data?

Thx

Hi Todd,

Thanks for the question. Yes bcm 2007 does support multi connections to a
cenral sql express (or sql server) and allows for offline usage. To handle
the offline case when connecting to a shared database, bcm will create a
"local" database that is a mirror of the shared DB. When you go "offline",
any addations, deletation, and or changes to your bcm data will happen on
your local db. Once you reconnect to the main shared database, all your
local changes will be compaired to the master list. If no conflicts are
found, that data will just be added. If there are conflicts, you will be
taken to the conflict resolution screen and asked how to resolve those
conflicts.

Hope that answers your question.
