IBM® Datacap Taskmaster Capture provides a flexible and scalable architecture for distributing tasks across machines according to the anticipated processing load.
At one end of the spectrum is the single machine configuration, where all Taskmaster software components are installed on the same machine. This configuration is typically used for providing product demonstrations, in a proof of concept environment, or during initial product evaluation.
At the other end of the spectrum is the client/server configuration, where the various Taskmaster software components are installed on dedicated machines, such as web servers and database servers. This configuration can support hundreds of simultaneous users, and uses centralized application management and shared databases.
Spanning the center of the spectrum, are various hybrid configurations in which two or more Taskmaster software components are installed on the same machine. For example, you might install and run Taskmaster Web and RV2 on the same web server. You might also install and run the Datacap Rulerunner Service and the Fingerprint Service on another server.
