Il existe deux façons d’accéder au SNDS : soit un accès à la base centrale, soit un export vers un système local à l’établissement usager (système fils), les utilisateurs travaillant ensuite sur cet export. Les conditions d’accès au système central sont complexes, celles qui permettent un export vers un système fils plus encore, ce qui est logique.

Yes I think daughter system was the neatest solution, but after discussing with the project manager we played safe and went with subsystem.

neutral  Laurence Fogarty: Reading the article, I am not sure that the site receiving the exported database copy is automatically linked to the central site. A 'daughter system' would require such a link.

replica


Explanation:
Configurations of this kind, where end-users have access to a dataset that is derived from the master database (and which may be a sub-set of that master, tailored to give access only to data needed by the individual user on the 'need to know' principle) are commonly called "replicas" (sometimes "clones"). Once a replica has been created it operates independently of the master, and its data content will need to be "syncronised" with the master from time to time (by file transfer or on-line).

neutral  philgoddard: (a) It's the system, not the data, and (b) they could have said "réplique", but they didn't.

neutral  Daryo: a partial "replica"? That's a new twist on the concept of "replica" ....

  -> It's nothing 'new'. I developed and administered just such a system almost 20 years ago, in Access 2000.
