Architecture
Release 1.3 - ...
Even though Smi 2.0 has been completely rewritten, the architecture has remained pretty much the same.
- Frontend
- On installation, the Smi frontend is integrated with the Smartsite iXperion installation. The frontend consists of some Dll's, some Sxml items and a configuration file.
- Backend
- The backend consists of the Windows service called SmiServer which may run on the same machine where the frontend runs, but may also run on a different machine. The frontend and backend communicate using the WCF. The SmiServer performs the administrator for one or more sites. Every website has its own database. SmiServer can be configured by editing the SmiServer.exe.config file.
