LSDS-LSCS-Livesite runtime

ChatBox

Hi,
I have RFTM but still not very clear as to which is what in TeamSite(Specifically version 7+). Any help is greatly appreciated and might help others too.


Livesite runtime -(useful as a runtime engine/ runs on a application server to display pages authored using Sitepublisher ending with .page -?)
LSDS -(what does this do which LiveSite runtime doesn't)
LSCS -(is this nothing but sitepublisher ?)

Can somebody help me in understanding this

Thanks in Advance

Hi,

you are right, the docs on this are completely bogus.

The webcast "waht is new in ts 71...." contains a very usefull view on how lsds & lscs work together.

1. ls-runtime: in 71+ this has become a vague term, I would say it equals lsds + lscs
2. lsds: the tomcat webapp that runs the livesite code together with your .page files & your java code
3. lscs: a backend idol/database that contains metadata and more on the deployed content. The java-code (running in lsds) can query the lscs and act on it. lscs is in fact just an idol instance.

Hope this helps. And hope Iwov would properly explain this in the next docs.
