Abstract

The consistency of data in central databases is normally implemented by using the ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation and Durability) properties of a DBMS (Data Base Management System). However, it is not possible to use the ACID properties of a DBMS if distributed and/or mobile databases are involved and at the same time, the availability of data also has to be optimized. To overcome this problem we will in this paper use so called relaxed ACID properties across different locations/DBMS systems. The objective of designing relaxed ACID properties across different database locations is that the users can trust the data they use even if the distributed database is temporarily inconsistent. The objective of this paper is to use the latest theory in system integration with relaxed ACID properties to describe how mobile control functions/workflows may be used as a control in the supplier module of an ERP system. This is illustrated by designing a new architecture for mobile registrations and control functions in distributed integrated mobile ERP modules. By using mobile registration and control systems, it is possible to move the registrations to the location where the data is created and thus improve the quality of the data. It may even be possible to operate in surroundings that are not as clean as normal for computer systems.
