MarvelClient consists of the following four major components:

Three databases on IBM Domino Servers

• A Configuration database which contains instructions for clients
• An Analyze database storing detailed information about clients and their respective configuration

• A Help database (this application) which holds documentation and context-sensitive help for the Configuration and Analyze database

  MarvelClient does not require any server tasks.

  Typically, all of the above databases are replicated across all mail servers, which are assumed to be the servers end-users can reach most efficiently. The databases scale along easily, even in large environments with several 100,000 users.

One local MarvelClient file on IBM Notes Clients*

• mc.dll on Microsoft Windows, Citrix and in the Browser Plugin
• mc.so on Linux
• mc.dylib on Mac

* once installed, the local MarvelClient file automatically creates and updates a couple of additional local files in the so called MarvelClient Working Directory.


Additional component for MarvelClient Eclipse

MarvelClient Eclipse also includes a plugin which allows the binary to natively talk to Eclipse et vice versa.
Installing and updating the plugin is taken care of automatically by the local MarvelClient file.


Additional components for MarvelClient Upgrade

MarvelClient Upgrade comes with three additional files deployed to end users - where MarvelClient itself can be used to distribute them seamlessly:
