Database Sharing and Sync
Any copy of basehead,with a server license, can share a database and
clients with the ‘Server Addon’ can connect to shared databases on the server.
Pricing to be announced soon!
This time, the server doesn’t need to running on a separate server but instead any instance of basehead can server a database and it can still be used for everyday work also.
How does it Work?
Once connected, after any change is made to the database from any client the server is updated instantaneous.
Also…all the clients can still work and modify the database fine with the server offline and when the server comes back online, all changes will be synced in a Snap!
Keep in mind that for sync to happen the shared DB needs to be ‘Active’ on the server in the ‘Shared’ tab.
NOTE: Even though the ‘Imports’ and ‘Groups’ and ‘CloudPacks’ are auto-synced after each change, you’ll need to click the Refresh icon next to the DB Hotswap box to refresh the items visually in the NodeTree.
