Support Topologies

Figure below shows the topologies that the ACT supports in the order that Microsoft recommends them. For example, Microsoft most highly recommends using the distributed ACT Log Processing Service, ACT Log Processing share, and ACT Database topology, and least recommends using a consolidated server. If you choose to employ a topology based on distributed logging with a rollup to your central share, you must move the files to the ACT Log Processing share before actual processing can occur. You can move the files manually or use a technology such as Distributed File System Replication (DFSR) or any other similar technology already employed in your organization.

Distributed ACT Log Processing Service (LPS), ACT Log Processing Share (LPS Share), and ACT Database
