The primary server is the main server in a Prinergy system. It contains all Prinergy primary server software components, including the Oracle database. The Prinergy primary server coordinates requests from the Prinergy Workshop software and maintains the database. In a distributed system, the primary server coordinates client computer requests and maintains the database. Some tasks can be carried out on secondary servers to increase overall system performance. There is only one primary server in a Prinergy system.
The secondary server is any Prinergy server in a Prinergy system that is not the primary server—that is, it is running the Prinergy server software but does not store the Oracle database. Secondary servers can run some JTPs to facilitate distributed processing. A Prinergy system can include multiple secondary servers.
A tertiary server is a server that is connected to the Prinergy system via the network, but is not running any Prinergy software components. It is used to store job folders and/or input files for Prinergy jobs.
