[opencms-dev] Can different installations of OpenCms connect to the same db schema?

[Shency Revindran]

Hi Achim,

Thank you very much for your reply.
I am going through the ocee documentation to see how helpful it can be in our case.

Thanks,
Shency

Hi Shency,

regarding point 2: That is not possible I think. One problem is that caches are cleared inside the webapp when something is published. The
other opencms instance would not know it. There must not be more than one workplace log in for the same database
If you try to scale up your architecture consider using ocee cluster to connect several opencms instances. The database could use ocee
replication or mysql cluster.

kind regards,

Achim
