Archibus Environment Configuration
This section contains details of Archibus application instances, servers, clients, and directory structure. This Archibus configuration is specific for MBA, but follows a standard RSC configuration pattern.
Application Instances
To allow structured software development and exploration of new capabilities, the following Archibus application instances will be maintained:
Production Environment
This environment contains MBA’s live data and drawings. Changes to this environment require testing in the Development environment, and completion of the Change Request process.
Development Environment
This environment is a recent copy of the Production environment. It is used to by developers to build enhancements or fixes to the Archibus Application. Once Developers have completed enhancements, they are also tested in this environment.

Client Environment
Browser Applications
Most client access will be through Web Browsers on their Desktops. The following applications will be available via this mechanism:
- Web Central – Archibus Packaged Web Application for users working full-time on Archibus. This is the “heavy” and rich user interface that provides access to all data, but requires training to use.
- SpaceView – A quick-access portal to user and space data
Windows Applications
One application needs to be installed directly on users’ desktops because of its need to integrate with other Windows desktop applications
- Archibus Client-Server – This Windows application allows direct editing of Archibus data.
