Introduction to Decoupled Driver Processes

This section describes how to configure SSC to decouple driver processes. It is exclusively for System Administrators and provides full details on how to use decoupled driver processes and how to tune them for individual systems.

Background

From SunSystems version 5.2.1 onwards, SSC provides the facility for decoupling the drivers (for example SASI or DJI), used to execute transactions from the SunSystems Connect service. The service can then be used for its primary job of transaction management, while the logic for each driver executes in a separate process. This allows SSC to process more transactions, reduce response times and to handle more user connections.

In addition, driver process decoupling allows SSC to recycle driver processes more efficiently as memory usage has been improved. This is important if your installation requires continuous availability.
