Gopher/Enterprise Coordination
Gopher is an experimental extension of Enterprise services. All the
data present in Enterprise is supposed to be in near-perfect
synchronization with the data in Gopher. When a file is updated on
Enterprise, it is automatically sent to Gopher. Every hour, Gopher
wakes up, checks for new files, translates the Enterprise format to the
plain ASCII it prefers, and stores the file in its proper place. So
there should never be more than 2 hours lag in data update between
Enterprise and Gopher.
Every night at 4am, past events in some selected files (like the Weekly
Bulletin and Movies) are stripped away. The whole database is
re-indexed then, so even though the data may be current the index is
only as current as the previous day.
If you notice gross disparity in data, which remains over a couple of
days, please notify Mitch Block (2-6599, MSBLOCK@YALEVM).
The only significant difference you will find between Gopher and
Enterprise is under the 'Libraries' heading: direct connections to both
Orbis and Nexis are provided.
