jBASE 5.6 is the “Native” Application Platform for MultiValue users who want to see options in the marketplace and innovative new features that attract new developers to this data model. Building on more than 25 years of innovation, jBASE 5.6 delivers with several exciting features, all of which are designed to bring your applications into the future.
“Our Company converted from Universe on AIX to a Linux server running jBASE. Since we’ve converted, our local users and branch managers at remote locations have commented on the increase in speed. In addition to the increase in speed, we’ve moved away from older technology and hardware onto a platform that is going to be supported for a long time. It was a good decision for us.”
RESTful Services has become one of the most important technologies for integrating business applications with the web. As a universal way for applications to communicate with each other, every major development language now includes frameworks for building RESTful Services. Native RESTful Services in jBASE 5.6 allows us to bypass proprietary APIs and open up your jBASE database to any language environment, web service or application. Developers can now unleash the power of their application and communicate in a modern way with powerful web services and SaaS applications, like Salesforce, Dynamics or NetSuite. These innovations will allow our customers’ time-proven intellectual property to ride the latest technological trends that are transforming the world of business.
Building on the success of jBASE 5.5, we’ve increased the granularity of logging options to enable deeper event audits for customers with even the most stringent compliance requirements. Now you can set logging options globally or at an individual file level. You can also apply audit logs to a remote copy of jBASE to accelerate the backup process and improve recovery point objectives.
System Manager provides a single pane of glass from which to manage your jBASE database. We’ve updated this powerful web tool with improved file management capabilities, audit logging configuration capabilities, and user session management. From jBASE System Manager, you can now remotely manage all active user sessions and log out inactive users as needed.
Get built-in data security and protection with the standard jBASE product for no additional cost. Native data encryption now makes it easy to meet increasing compliance requirements with granular encryption at the file level. Choose between file-level encryption and spooler-level encryption while maintaining the high performance your users expect.
Transaction Journaling has become simpler to administer and maintain, ensuring replication of your jBASE database. With the introduction of 64 bit transaction logs, log sizes are no longer limited to 2GB and only need a single file per log set. In addition, transaction log sets can be configured to switch automatically, allowing you to specify when logsets switch based on the percentage of disk usage.
jBASE System Manager provides graphical access to important system administration data, which is historically trapped at the command line of your Pick system. Now you can easily configure and monitor backup jobs with hashfile verification; enjoy built-in visualization of system performance; enable alerting around critical system processes; and monitor license usage. With System Manager, you can even add licenses on the fly, without having to do a system restart. Keep track of key data, critical processes, and license usage with jBASE System Manager. Read More
jBASE 5.5 also includes our powerful Remote Connectivity Services at no additional cost. With JRCS, new hires can choose their favorite development tools and languages and directly access your MultiValue apps and data. It’s a practical approach that preserves and leverages your proven apps and data while allowing new development in virtually any language or framework. Read More
Protecting the data in your MultiValue system has never been more important and now you can do it for free with jBASE 5.5. An integrated feature of the new release of jBASE, Audit Logging allows you to create an audit trail of activity on chosen application files. It’s easy to setup and administer and adds very little overhead to the running of your system. Best of all, it’s free and it gives you the flexibility and feature richness so that it can be customized to meet your unique requirements.
Migrating to jBASE just became easier. jBASE now supports case-insensitive applications. You can run files, queries, and commands by simply turning on the jBASE case-insensitive switch.
jBASE 5.5 includes a framework for spooling print jobs to nearly anything. Popular targets include pdf, email and web services but virtually any conceivable target is possible. The framework allows for your user written code to be called during the spooling process to filter, extend and transform spooled output and to deliver it to nearly any target. With this new feature, it is now simple to add exciting new capabilities to your applications without modifying the underlying application code.
You can install and configure jBASE 5.5 in just a couple of clicks. New migration tools are also available to help you easily import your existing MultiValue system. Click, install, and you’re done!
