Satellite Installation
OpenSpirit satellite installation is a configuration of OpenSpirit that does not have a service process and does not have a metadata repository. Satellite installations can be used to run OpenSpirit enabled applications and can be used to run OpenSpirit data connector processes.
A satellite is associated with one master installation by assigning it the host and port of a master. OpenSpirit enabled applications and data connectors that are run from a satellite installation access metadata from the satellite's associated master installation.
The primary purpose of a satellite installation is to make OpenSpirit available on host computers that have a different operating system than the master installation or do not have visibility to the directory that contains the OpenSpirit software or configuration files. A satellite may be needed to run data connector processes on a host that has visibility to data files needed by a data connector, but does not have access to the master installation directory.
