Abstract
Configuration management problems are discussed in the context of one of Europe’s largest wide area networks, the START travel services network. Problems are caused mainly by the size of the network, its heterogeneity, its growth rate and the availability requirements of day-to-day operations which are stretching the current file-based configuration management system that is used to control the remote update of software on the point of sale PCs. A database solution for support of a new configuration and version management process is presented and two pilot implementations, one relational and one object-oriented, are discussed.
