<div><p>Each dealership manages its data processing resources and procedures
|
||
|
|
as a stand-alone enterprise. Spiffy Corporation requires that each dealership
|
||
|
|
have one or more <span class="keyword">iSeries™ server</span>s
|
||
|
|
and that those servers must be available to the network at certain times.
|
||
|
|
However, the size of the server and the number of business processes that
|
||
|
|
are automated on it are determined by each dealership's needs and the resources
|
||
|
|
available to it.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>The Spiffy Corporation requires all dealerships to be active in
|
||
|
|
the inventory distributed relational database. Because the corporation operates
|
||
|
|
its own dealerships, it has a full complement of dealership software that
|
||
|
|
might or might not access the distributed relational database environment.
|
||
|
|
The Spiffy dealerships use the full set of software tools. Most of the private
|
||
|
|
franchises also use them because they are tailored specifically
|
||
|
|
to the Spiffy Corporation way of doing business.</p>
|

</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>The regional distribution centers manage the inventory for their
|
||
|
|
region. They also function as the database administrator for all distributed
|
||
|
|
database resources used in the region. The responsibilities involved vary
|
||
|
|
depending on the level of data processing competency at each dealership. The
|
||
|
|
regional center is always the first contact for help for any dealership in
|
||
|
|
the region.</p>

<div class="section"><p>The Minneapolis regional distribution center has a staff of <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> programmers with a wide range

of experience and knowledge about the servers and the network. The dealership

|
load is about one half that of other regional centers to allow this center
|
||
|
|
to focus on network-wide <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> support
|

functions. These functions include application program development, program

maintenance, and problem handling.</p>
