MaxDB does not support database links --> no access from instance 1 to
instance 2.
If info is divided into several instances, the application has to take this
into account and access partly here and partly there.

the archive instance has additional support for special data volume types
to handle large amounts of never changing data on HSM devices.
It's on the application side to keep the 'live' data on the OLTP instance
and the 'archive' data on an additional archive instance of MaxDB.
