I've got a client who is in the process of developing a purchasing application 
in Domino. The discussion they are now having relates to performance.

Their RPG programmer thinks that they will get acceptable performance by doing 
lookups of vendors, G/L account numbers, etc., by passing these parameters to 
the accounting system machine and getting responses back.

The Domino programmer is saying that they need to have "duplicate" databases on 
the accounting system machine and the Domino machine, and then just keep them 
in synch.

When these master files are updated on the accounting system machine, a program 
can be written to push this data into work files that can then be retrieved by 
the Domino machine using an agent that runs on a frequent basis.

I'd be interested to hear about similar experiences both ways.

Thanks,
