These diagram components will be used in the following sections explaining the architecture of SUSE Manager. Components in SUSE Manager can communicate in three ways:

  • One way

  • Two way

  • Scheduled (time based)

Types of Components

One Way

Components that communicate in only one direction are represented by:

dia one way component
Figure 1. One way communication between components
Two Way

Components that communicate in both directions are represented by:

Figure 2. Two way communication between components
Database Connections

A component that reads and writes to the database communicates in both directions are represented by:

dia database communication
Figure 3. Two way communication between a component and the database(read and write)
Scheduled (Time based)

Components that run on a schedule are represented by:
