Workgroup Server

The Workgroup Server is a server component which manages access to workgroup databases by InfoAsset Manager (the Innovyze Workgroup Client). It is designed to improve the performance and reliability of database operations in a Workgroup environment. The Workgroup Server is not required if using a standalone database.

Note: The Workgroup Server was previously known as the Workgroup Data Server.

Running the Workgroup Server is optional but it is recommended if you have:

• more than one user accessing the same InfoAsset Manager database
• low network bandwidth between InfoAsset Manager and the file server containing the database.

The Workgroup Server is normally installed on a different computer to those used to run InfoAsset Manager. The same server can be used for many different databases.

To connect to the Workgroup Server, Workgroup Clients need to know the hostname of the machine running the server and the port to connect to. This information can be specified when opening an existing database or creating a new database.

For details on setting up the server, see the Workgroup Server Administration Guide.
