<@Reiv>
Let me tell you the saga of IBIS.
00:52
<@Reiv>
It is a proprietary rates calculation engine.
00:52
<@Reiv>
Written in Access. The files are locked down, of course.
00:52
<@Reiv>
It is a hungry hippo of data, so it has its very own SQL Server instance to store all its modeling data.
00:53
<@Reiv>
It likes to feed in a myriad of data sources to this, so is carefully configured.
00:53
<@Reiv>
This includes:
00:53
<@Reiv>
- A set of excel spreadsheets
00:53
<@Reiv>
- An Access database sitting on the users C:
00:54
<@Reiv>
- Connections to our SQL Server data mirror, which sits on the same VM yet not the same server as the IBIS modeling data
00:54
<@Reiv>
- A selection of data that is entered by hand in the front end.
00:55
<@Reiv>
BONUS ROUND: We moved where it pulls data from our production enviroment to the mirror.

That soudns like an excellent system and not at all a fustercluck.
01:03
<@Reiv>
Especially when you realise that everything pulls into the Access database and is then stored in the modeling data server...
01:03
<&Derakon>
This sounds like at least ten years' worth of ad-hoc development by people with no formal software development training.
01:04
<@Reiv>
...unless it's pulling from an SQL Server database, at which point in the name of efficiency the data is pulled via the /modeling server/!
01:04
<@Reiv>
So when setting up the permissions for IBIS?
01:04
<@Reiv>
...yeah, you need to go futz in the server.
01:04
<@Reiv>
Because IBIS will tell you "IBISUser cannot access data on [mirror server]"
01:04
<@Reiv>
...notice the detail it did /not/ mention
01:05
<@Reiv>
ha ha ha ha there went three hours this morning -_-
