!Multi-Tenancy Database
5.05 introduces Multi-Tenant architecture to the database. This architecture is like an apartment building. All clients share the front gate, the parking garage, the security, and the pool. Each client still has their own private apartment, which is where all your data is securely stored and made unavailable to anyone except you. This means no other client can access your data.\\
\\
Why is this change in architecture important? This architecture allows us to provide all clients with stronger security measures, improved hardware for performance, and a code base to share product and functionality improvements easily with all clients at the same time. It also gives clients an easier transition from Personality to the HRIS platform.\\
\\
If you are currently an on-premise client or pay to be a hosted Single Tenant, __this change still affects you!__ Database updates and system configuration, including necessary changes to site codes and forms, should be in place before upgrading to Personality 5.05. You may continue to be a Single Tenant even though the new architecture makes it possible for you to become Multi-Tenant.\\
\\
!Site Reference Column
All Personality tables now have a SITE_REFERENCE_ID column added to them. This is required to enable the Multi-Tenant database structure. The values required for this column are populated automatically as part of the upgrade to version 5.05. Once active in 5.05, this column is updated each time a new record is added to the database. In the new multi-tenant database, users are limited to the SITE_REFERENCE_ID associated with their user login. This is referenced as the “Tenant” code. The “Tenant” code is the “Site Reference” code seen on IMST.\\
\\
!New Lexicons
There are two new fixed lexicons included in the 5.05 release.  The lexicons [X_TABLES_NO_SITE] and [X_TABLES_PARTIAL_SITE] identify the tables that are exceptions to the population of the SITE_REFERENCE_ID. \\
\\
Both lexicons list tables defined by preloaded values. These are typically provided in seed data that are not subject to change.\\
\\
Tables not listed in either of these lexicons must have a reference to a tenant site and can be viewed and modified only by that tenant.\\
