Version
All Argent Web Products – All versions

Summary
Argent uses IIS application pools to insulate Microsoft Internet Information Services from a failing Argent product
Technical Background
Assume you have 100 applications in 15 application pools
If one Argent product is running in one application pool and the Argent product suffers an issue or needs to abort, it will affect only that application pool
All other applications – both third-party and Argent – running in other application pools continue to work smoothly
Argent creates a different application pool for each of Argent web product
Separate application pools are created for:
- Argent Global Manager
- Argent Commander
- Argent Reports
- Argent WorldView
Therefore, an issue with a single Argent product causing an abort of the application pool will affect neither other Argent products nor other programs using IIS
