This new release focuses on robustness,
interoperability, security, and compatibility, as well as key customer
enhancements. Key features that will be discussed include:
|
|
|
| |
|
|
 |
Robustness - Data replication
functionality based on a publisher/subscriber model. Replication can be
real-time or scheduled at user-defined intervals and can be used to
support a high availability, failover solution or to create report
servers to off-load processing on OLTP systems. |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
Interoperability - SQL-based drivers
and native interfaces are included along with JDBC support and
integrated database support of XML. UniData can output XML from
both UniQuery and UniData SQL as well as support input of XML via
document object model (DOM) handling within UniBasic. Also new is
native support for WebSphere MQ, which guarantees on time delivery of
messages for application integration. A new UniBasic API allows you to
operate as an MQ client or server and to perform queue management. |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
Secure Communication - Support for
secure socket layer (SSL) communication via OpenSSL, allows UniData
applications, using CallHTTP and Socket interfaces, to integrate with
third-party applications that require this security functionality. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Managability - To enhance the
supportability of client APIs UniData 6 includes enhanced server side
logging. The UniAdmin tool has been re-architected to be
Java-applet based, allowing it to be run from either the included thick
client or via a web browser.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Planned for 6.1 (2004) and/or being considered for 7.1
(2005):
Includes UniObjects.NET, XML schema and enhancements, Cursors and SSL,
External Database driver framework, SOAP Client API, IBM, U2 Data
Management
