I am currently in the middle of setting up EP, and have the
answers pretty much straight from one of the Danmark Developers that helped
create Axapta - who now works closely with MS.
From what I understand is:
- Web Users are an Estimated about of User of
the Portal at any given time. Concurrently. (On at the same time) So they really
don't affect
anything from not working, they are a
Lic. deal only and just to keep you in complaince.
- Real users - You should have one real user for
each web 'profile'
- COM Users - One for each
'profile'
So let me explain this a little better. The real things you
need are real users and COM users. You need at least one called COM, that EP
uses. Then say you have Sales people, Customers, and Vendors that all need to
access EP, and all need different sets of security and what they see. Well then
you would need:
Sales People -
- COM Users: 1
- Real Users: 1
Customers -
- COM Users: 1
- Real Users: 1
Vendors -
- COM Users: 1
- Real
Users: 1
And this profile that I am talking about is related
to the Real user. You setup the real user Called WSales (something like that).
Then you setup the security on WSales for Sales Realted information on the EP.
Then you go and create Web users for your sales people, and for the User
associated with each Sales person Web User logon, you associate it with the
newly created WSales.
Doing this you will see that there will only need to be one
COM user per profile. So There could be 500 Web Users that are Sales, which will
all be associated to the WSales User, and when you goto check for Online Users
you will see only one instance of the WSales as connected through COM (Green
Diamond) yet there are 500 Web Users actually connected.
What you can do to check this is you can goto the Componet
Services Manager for the Box where EP is running, goto and COM+ / Navision / And
the Axapta2 COM object. There you can right click on the Parent folder / And
from the View -> Select Status. You will see your actual amount of users
here, but only see one Instance of that Name from within Axapta / Online
Users.
I hope through my ramblings you have gotten at least some
what of an answer.

all,
Can anyone give information about enterprise portal licensing? Think of
this scenario: I want to connect 50 branch offices to
Axapta by EP only. How
many COM clients, web users and (if any) standard users do I need? I know
that the issue was discussed before but I couldn’t find those
e-mails in the group archive. Thank in
advance. Best
