production systems and six development systems, you can configure two
production operators and two development operators.
Large Sites With Remote Systems
As at large sites with network-connected systems, having one planner helps maintain
an overall picture of the configuration planning for the entire work environment, and
having one database administrator is efficient.
You can configure a separate operator for each remote system or have an operator
travel to each remote site as needed. If you have multiple remote systems at a remote
site, you could have either one operator for each system or one for all systems at that
site.
For a mixture of remote and local systems in one work environment, you can combine
the suggested assignments as fits your situation. For example, if you have separate
development and production systems, some local and some remote, each under one
host system, your assignments might look like Figure 4-4.
