    Resolved [RESOLVED] [serious] Systems Design

    What is the meaning by Heartbeat Controls and Checks?

    Has anyone encountered this? This is a document made by an indian firm for a japanese counterpart.

    I'm just curious that's all.

    From what i can understand of the document, it's a strategy to ensure that the data integrity of the system is controlled.

    something like that.

    Not knowing the actual application, sounds like a Sales Pitch to say it checks that the System is up and running properly. .. you can use Winsock or other to check that pretty easily.

    well, the system, is an employee directory system. I'm still not too sure about its dynamics but its a listing. What they are particular about is that all data must be up to date.

    And there are several checkpoints to be done and those checkpoints, they termed as Heart Beat. It's the first I have heard of this term. Maybe they coined it specifically for this or maybe it's part of a lingo I am still not so familiar with.

    In this case, sounds like just a term used for System/Application Monitoring ..
    Ive heard the term used in the Telco / alarm industry .. different thing though.

    Tell them you have your own term ... Pulse Count or Health Monitor ..

    I think it applies to number 2.

    synchronisation. in this case, of the data with that of the actual employee.

    "Heartbeat Controls and Checks" - from what I understood it's basically a regular ping of the server to ensure it is okay (sort of like a Heartbeat monitor) and if it falls too low it sends an automated warning mail out
