Replicating Objects in the WorldView Repository › Repository Bridge Architectures › Aggregation Architecture

Aggregation Architecture

The aggregation architecture consists of several source repositories and one destination repository. Bridge instances run between each of the source repositories and the destination repository.

Use the following guidelines when you are considering using an aggregation architecture:

• Carefully monitor the cumulative number of objects bridged from the source repositories to the destination repository.

  If several source repositories exist, the number of objects in the destination repository can quickly exceed the recommended limits. The same guidelines provided for a standard repository should be followed for a bridged repository. To avoid problems, obtain estimates for the number of bridged objects from each source repository before implementation.

• Bridging duplicate objects to a repository causes errors.

  If you have a duplication of objects across source repositories (that is, objects have the same name), and those objects are bridged to the same destination repository, errors can occur.
