The MDM-RE Console provides the user with centralized control of the various components that make up the MDM-RE system.

The Console is a client/server application.

The Console server is a non-interactive program, which would normally run on the machine where the database resides. When it is run, the Console Server will establish its environment and then wait for clients to connect. Once one or more clients are connected, the server launches and monitors the progress of the various MDM-RE programs at the request of these clients.

The Console client is a Java GUI program. It can be launched on any machine which is connected through TCP/IP to the Console Server’s machine and which has a Java Runtime Environment.
