Changing Host Systems or Network Environment

Your Flow system has been configured to work with your current business applications (host systems), as well as your computer network environment.

These host systems could be your financial software, CRM systems, or any other business application that you need Flow to read or write data to. Your network environment is the computer infrastructure upon which all your business applications run.

The successful operation of Flow is dependent on the successful operation of your host systems and network environment. Your Flow configuration should be documented and from this you can determine whether any changes to your host system or network environment will affect the operation of Flow

Host System changes

It is important that if you are intending to change your host systems that you review your Flow configuration to ensure that it will still work with your altered host system. If any of the following items change please review your Flow configuration, or contact your Flow partner to ascertain if any problems will arise from the changes.

• Upgrading your host system to the latest version
• Moving your host system (or a component of it) from one computer to another
• Changing fundamental configuration of your host system

Network Environment changes

Flow will be configured to work in your particular network environment. When changing your network environment you should review your Flow configuration to ascertain if any problems will arise from the changes. Your network environment also includes all the network service applications like SQL Server.

• Removing any computers from your network
• Removing any users from your network
• Changing the properties of any shared folders
• Changing the access rights of any network users
• Moving business applications or network services from one computer to another (ie SQL Server)
• Changing the configuration of any firewall's
• Changing your Internet Service Provider (ISP) that provides your Internet connection
