This is similar to the above, except that the journal file is written to a special tohepdb directory on the local VMS system. A batch job periodically scans this directory and copies any files found over NFS to hepdb. Once again, once the update has been processed the new journal file is copied back and placed in the todo directory of the local VMS slave server.

This is the same as for the CERNVM case, except that the names file on the remote system points to CDHEPDB at CERNVM, rather than simply CDHEPDB.
