View ALERT
ViewALERTTM is a read only version of ExpertALERTTM. It is appropriate for vibration service clients or those who only wish to view information. It is compatible with all of the ALERT products. Users have access to all reports and analysis tools but they cannot add, edit, delete or modify any of the information. They can however load and unload data collectors and add notes. ViewALERTTM is appropriate for vibration service clients or for users who are not actively maintaining the system but want access to all of the information. ViewALERTTM is typically used in conjunction with database replication or as a license on an Enterprise Network. Because ViewALERTTM does not allow the user to add or edit machine information, someone else on the replicating or Enterprise network must have another version of ALERT software in order to run and maintain the analysis program.
Database Replication
Database replication allows two or more databases to synchronize with each other over a network or the Internet. This powerful technology allows two or more users to work independently in their systems and then synchronize them. Changes made in one database appear in the other and visa versa. It is an extremely valuable tool for sharing information and providing remote analysis services. Typically, the service provider will use ExpertALERTTM software to maintain the database, analyze data and produce reports. The service client will use ViewALERTTM to load and unload data collectors and add notes. After the two systems have synchronized, the service provider will receive all of the new data and notes and the ViewALERTTM user will receive all of the edited reports and database configuration changes. The ViewALERTTM user will be able to view reports edited by the service provider. They will also have access to all of the historical data as well as graphical analysis tools.
