How Does Central Office Work?

Central Office is a web application using a Microsoft SQL Server database to store replicated data from each Millennium database. This allows you to transfer data across all locations in real-time using an internet connection.

Central Office requires the installation of the following components before you can transfer data between locations:

Central Office Database = Resides in SQL Server and stores replicated data from each Millennium database. You can install this component on a designated server or a server where you have a Millennium database located.
Central Office Web Application = Web interface used to transfer data across all locations. You must install this component on the server where you have the Central Office database located but you can access it from any computer with internet access.
Central Office Windows Service = Sends updated information between a Millennium database and the Central Office database. You must install this component on every server where you have a Millennium database located.
Central Office Data Uploader Service = Uploads Millennium data sent by the Central Office Data Uploader Client to the Central Office database. You must install this component on the server where you have the Central Office database located.
Central Office Data Uploader Client = Uploads Millennium data to the server where the Central Office database is located. You must install this component on every server where you have a Millennium database located.

Once you complete the initial upload of your Millennium data to Central Office, the Central Office Windows Service runs automatically at each location to send information between the Millennium database and the Central Office database. You can then use the Central Office Web Application to transfer and manager your data across all locations.
