This topic describes how to install Streamlyne Research on a single server. The Streamlyne Research application binaries and source code are included as part of the installation distribution.
The Streamlyne Research application assists in the accessibility, administration and support of research information. There are many components that are working together to configure and install Streamlyne Research. The core system is known as Streamlyne platform (KR), which is a set of integrated middleware products that allows Streamlyne Research to interface with technical modules running from a web server. Streamlyne platform facilitates enterprise workflow functionality and provides customizable and configurable user interfaces that have a clean and universal look and feel. Streamlyne platform contains five core modules of which two are actively used in Streamlyne Research. workflow (workflow) monitors document routing and approval while automating electronic processes and transactions across the enterprise. The Streamlyne Nervous System (application framework) alternately handles functionality common to many modules and can be thought of as a framework of reusable components providing an abstraction layer for developers to easily integrate with other Streamlyne platform components.
Streamlyne Research scales depending upon your environment needs and therefore allows for various architectural choices to be implemented during installation. This topic covers the essential architectural components that are vital to the overall operation of the system. Streamlyne Research handles data storage using a database to maintain records. Care must be taken to ensure that the database remains accessible during times when Streamlyne Research is active. The Streamlyne Research application server manages data for presentation through a web browser.
