How Client Access and Web Access communicate with SpaceObServer
Question / Problem
How do the Add-ons SpaceObServer Client Access and SpaceObServer Web Access communicate/connect to the SpaceObServer? Do they connect to the SQL database to get the data for reporting, or does it connect directly to the file server as well?
Answer / Solution
The SpaceObServer Client Access connects to the SpaceObServer database. For the right-click Explorer context menu to work, it requires a direct connection to the file server, but this is optional. Also, for displaying a few MS Office specific metadata fields (Author, Last Saved By, Last Save Date, Keywords, ) it requires access to the files as these metadata is currently not part of the SpaceObServer database.
The SpaceObServer Web Access connects to the database only.
