Rocket Software UniVerse
High Availability
Today’s business-critical applications need to be available all the time. UniVerse V11.1 adds U2 Replication to your tool chest to build applications that can achieve the operational continuity that you need. Based on proven technology, U2 Replication automatically publishes critical data to read-only copies of UniVerse files to one or more subscribing UniVerse systems. Use the replicated data for a standby system in case of system failure or as a reporting system. You can schedule data replication on a periodic basis as needed, for example, weekly, hourly or instantaneously.
Concurrent index build also adds to your uptime. No longer is it a requirement to take your application offline to add an index; you can build it without having to suspend access to your database.
Interoperability
External Database Access (EDA) External database access (EDA) provides the flexibility to store some or all of your data in either UniVerse files or an external database such as Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle and IBM DB2.
EDA provides the ability to transparently access and update data from an existing UniVerse application. Graphical tools ease schema mapping and configuration management.
If you need assured one-time delivery of messages across a network, you might be using IBM Websphere MQI. UniVerse V11.1 now supports the powerful MQI API.
Administration
Administrators get a graphical administration tool with UniVerse V11.1 that is configurable & extensible. U2 Extensible Administration (XAdmin) is an Eclipse-based tool that includes key administration functions such as configuration, authorization and performance monitoring. You can extend XAdmin by adding your own plug-in, calling a Basic routine or you can embed XAdmin plug-ins into your own Eclipse-based application.
Security
You can now encrypt your indexes and keys, as well as your data with UniVerse V11.1. Now sensitive data can be used and protected as part of an index or key.
