The following services can be distributed / installed multiple times:

  • migRavenResourceScanServiceHost: This service scans the configured file servers. There can be several of these if, for example, file servers are to be integrated at physically separate locations.

Database

A Java-based graph database from the manufacturer neotechnology is used. The database is created with the central installation of migRaven installed and automatically configured. The version is adjusted at different intervals. The exchange is also carried out via the migRaven Installer running.

The database is located on the c: partition of the migRaven Servers installed. If desired, the database can be moved to a different partition. In these cases, however, the standard update process cannot be carried out.
