About the architecture of TeamWork

TeamWork is a client/server application, which means that some parts of the application run on a server and some parts run on client computers. A TeamWork system can have several possible client processes and at least three server processes. The server processes are typically run on a single server. To see these server processes, use the Manage shortcut menu option of My Computer on the TeamWork application server, or open Services from the Control Panel.

Below is a list of the TeamWork server services that are available:

• AutoManager EDM Server
• BlueCielo File System Server (AMFS)
• BlueCielo License Server
• Web Access (Microsoft Internet Information Services)
• Content indexing (Windows Indexing Service)

These services are managed with the TeamWork Administrator tool, although basic operations such as starting and stopping the services can be performed directly with the Services applet. The various client interfaces are described in the BlueCielo TeamWork User’s Guide, which you should read as well as this Administrator’s Guide. There is one other client-like interface, named Configurator, that is used to configure vaults for different requirements. The BlueCielo TeamWork Configuration Guide describes the usage of Configurator.

The architecture of a basic TeamWork-based system looks like this:
