1) Abstract
HP Trim (Tower
Record Information Management) is an HP (Hewlett Picard’s) based solution of
the EDRMS (Electronic Document Management System) system. It is developed by
TOWER software (acquired by HP).
HP Trim is a
highly configurable and easily deployable commercial off the shelf solution that
is proven is large Government and regulated industry organizations and can meet
the needs of any business. The implementation of a system that is simple and
easy to use yet a powerful application for sharing, managing, and documents on
intranet in a secure manner. Manage your document over the web. It enables to
create a central repository of organizational documents indexed by key words
and organized by category. Intranet based document management system provide a
document library with secure access control, advanced search features and
document – centric collaboration for document sharing and supporting project
team.
The main facilities
of this projects are:
Ø
Create and delete locations
Ø
Updating data
Ø
Restricted list of check-in and check-out
documents
Ø
Introduced advanced technique for quick and easy
retrieval of data
The user can
search a particular file by just specifying its subject, keyword, descriptions
etc. The user has the facility of viewing documents uploaded by a particular person
or person falling in particular group.
This Document Management
System is centralized.
2) Objective
Electronic Document Management (EDM) manages any kind
of information object, including word processing and spreadsheet files,
presentation software, drawing packages, images, workflows, databases, emails,
audio, video, CAD applications and more, throughout the entire document
lifecycle.
Ø
Comply with industry standards
Ø
Capture from any source
Ø
Manage the full life cycle
Ø
Version control and security
Ø
Manage records, engineers drawings and more
Ø
Future-proof access to corporate content
3) Problem definition
Despite the content push towards modernizing by
digitizing the primary care paper record, there remains several undeniable
advantages associated with ‘old fashioned’ paper.
Unsurprisingly, most of the perceived advantages that
are associated that are associated with the physical presence of paper are also
disadvantages in all but the most straightforward of scenario. The major
problem with paper is, of course, the efforts expended on manual filling and
retrieval plus the space required for storage. Most practices that have not
digitized their records will seem to have acres of practice floor space
dedicated to holding paper records.
4) Features and advantage of Document
Management System
Features of document management system
a) Set up and manage your storage facility as
graphical hierarchy of arranged storage space.
b) Determine
the location of contiguous storage space.
c) Move
records into long term storage with notification of available space.
d) Define
new storage space
e) Support
bar code scanning for records
f) Specify
that specific storage space is not available
g) Display
and print the records within a storage space
h) Determine
the amount of free storage space
i) Move
records within your storage facility
j) Display
storage space properties
Advantages of Document Management System
a) Reduced Physical storage
b) Save
time, Instant access to documents
c) Advantage
over other business
d) Robust
indexing of documentation
e) Improve
customer service
f) Simple
updating process
g) Air-tight
security
h) “Green”
Business Practice
5) Some terminologies
a)
Microsoft
SQL Server 2008 Active/Passive clusters
A 2 node cluster
would be setup for SQL server 2008 database for high availability.
A server cluster is a group of independent servers
running Windows Server 2008, Enterprise Edition, or Windows Server 2008,
Datacenter Edition, and working together as a single system to provide high
availability of services for clients. When a failure occurs on one computer in
a cluster, resources are redirected and the workload is redistributed to
another computer in the cluster. You can use server clusters to ensure that
users have constant access to important server-based resources.
Requirement:
§ Server
must have the same versions of Windows operating system and same software updates
and service pack as well. Failover Clustering feature has to be installed on
the servers.
§ It
is recommended to use the same/similar server hardware.
§ Two
network cards on each server
§ HBA
cards on each server
§ Must
use shared storage that is compatible with Windows Server 2008 R2.
§ The
servers in the cluster must use Domain user account.
§ Use
Domain Name System (DNS) for name resolution.
§ All
clustered servers should be the member of the domain
§ Windows
server 2008 or R2 enterprise
§ SQL
server 2008 or R2 enterprise
b)
Network
Load Balancing in Windows Server
Network load
balancing automatically detects the failure of a server, and then quickly reassigns
client computer traffic among the remaining server. This safeguard can help you
to provide uninterrupted, continuous service for your critical business
programs.
§ Balance load requests across
the NLB cluster for individual TCP/IP services.
§ Support up to 32 computers
in a single cluster.
§ Balance multiple server load
requests (from either the same client or from several clients) across multiple
hosts in the cluster.
§ Support the ability to add
hosts to the NLB cluster as the load goes up, without bringing the cluster
down.
§ Support the ability to
remove hosts from the cluster when the load goes down.
§ Enable high performance and
low overhead through fully pipelined implementation. Pipelining allows requests
to be sent to the NLB cluster without waiting for response to the previously
sent one.
6) Requirements
To make a cluster the following is the servers used
for HP Trim applications:
§
Two servers for Trim Web Server
§
Two servers for Trim Workgroup Server
§
Two servers for Trim SQL Database

7) Implement process
To implement HP Trim in the intranet we have to make
the cluster of windows, database and web servers.
a) How to make clusters?
To make windows clusters the requirement is given.
1. There are two connections between each server
(i) Production Network Connection
(ii) Heartbeat Network Connection
Heartbeat Network Connection is used to check the connection between two Windows server or web server or database server.
In the failover condition if any server goes down then all resources shift into another server by using Production Network Connection.
