2.3.2 Installation Guidelines for Shunsaku File

Considers whether use the Shunsaku File from the 2 viewpoints below.

• Data Relationship
• Performance Requirements

Data Relationship

From the viewpoint of application development, the key factor determining whether to install Shunsaku Files is data relationships.

If Shunsaku is used to operate multiple jobs, and it is working with a mixture of data, some of which is strongly related to one or more jobs and some that is only weakly related, it can be difficult to find data that is strongly related to a particular job using only the search expression. In such cases, some of the data returned by an application may be of no use to the job in question.

By installing the Shunsaku File function and creating separate Files for data that is strongly related to each job, it is possible to return to applications only the data needed by each job.

Performance Requirements

From the viewpoint of hardware resource allocation, the key factor determining whether to install Shunsaku Files is the performance requirements of each job.

The performance of Shunsaku is influenced by the amount of hardware resources allocated to it. However, when different jobs with different performance requirements are mixed together, it is necessary to provide hardware resources according to the job that has the highest performance requirements. In such cases, there is a need to provide redundant hardware resources.

By installing the Shunsaku File function and creating a File for each job, it is possible to allocate to each Shunsaku File the optimal amount of hardware resources needed to guarantee the performance of each job.
