In a federation, a network of version 6.3 and 7.1 PRPC applications configured for Federated Case Management (FCM), the FCMR serves as a centralized repository for cases and work performed by users in the federation. The FCMR consolidates work items and makes them available to all users in the federation.
Users in a federation work in their local application portal, which can display cases and assignments from other applications in the federation. Each local application processes and maintains its own cases and data, and publishes data to a centralized database, the Federated Case Management Repository (FCMR).
The FCMR contains class tables for federated versions of key PRPC classes, for example, Work-Federated and Assign-Worklist-Federated. Instances of the federated classes serve as lightweight pointers to class instances residing in a federation’s local application databases.
Federated classes in the repository contain no BLOB fields, only a handful of key properties such as ID and status needed to identify and open each case in its local application. The full data for a case resides in only one place, its local application database, and all processing for that case occurs within its local application, even when that processing is being done by a user within a remote application portal.
