The new licensing introduces a number of features to facilitate this

High Watermark of connected users is stored in the licensing system.

In the future, usage reports could be generated from these statistics.

Printed and shipped with orders

Via STAR Issue (Configuration Changes)

Via eMail Via Web Download

The new licensing model is included in the most recent round of COMP patches for

Ingres II Release 2.0 Ingres II Release 2.5

Supports Simple upgrade from prior releases Global eBusiness New application capabilities

http://support.ca.com/techbases/ingres/4287.html


Simple upgrade?

The license updates remove the operational barriers for some sites

Many users encountered new reserved words when upgrading from older releases

In the past, schema and application changes were required

Ingres 2.6 introduces a context sensitive parser – words are only reserved in context




Global eBusiness?


New Capabilities

Many DBMS Enhancements XML Import/Export Connectivity Enhancements

ODBC 3.5 JDBC 2.1 (J2EE compliant)

These enhancements provide connectivity to the older DBMS releases through Ingres Net


Product Plans & Direction

Advantage Ingres 2.6 Maintenance Release

Targeted for early next year Extend application migration capabilities

and support for embedded applications Advantage Ingres 2.7 Functional

Release Targeted for late 2003 Extend 24x7 and VLDB capabilities

Advantage OpenROAD 4.1

DB

OpenROAD 4GL GUI

Java/COMBridge

Business logic

Persistent data

MS Office,VB, VC++ Presentation


4GL Application Server

Overview 4GL language features Architecture


Language Features

Simple high-level 4GL language SQL “literate” Procedural and object-oriented

System classes Developer classes

Rich GUI for client applications High productivity


4GL AppServer Technical Architecture

4GL code is partitioned into applications Runs as one or more “slave” processes, managed by a

“pooler” process COM callable interface – TP Monitor Callers can share AppServer processes Processes can be deployed on different hardware Scalable “pooler/slave” architecture

Requests are queued and load balanced by a Server Pooler process One per installation

Name server for connection load balancing across installations UNIX and Windows


Supported Clients

COM class proxy “glue” 4GL GUI 4GL AppServer

Applications can be physically partitioned All other COM

VB, ASP etc Java Servlets, JSP, EJB


Supported Servers

Any COM Automation Server 4GL AppServer

Applications can be physically partitioned All EDBC databases All Enterprise Access (EAS) databases Ingres


Objections Revisited

“It won’t work for us. It can only work for green field sites”

Empirical evidence to the contrary “Great strategy, but we need to deliver

yesterday” Get quick tactical wins built within a solid

strategic application architecture


Objections Revisited “Sounds good but my boss/company…

Won’t pay for the rewrite Won’t wait for the rewrite

There is no major rewrite Won’t train new programmers

There is no major rewrite Wants to use Bongo3 instead

Use it as well – as a client or a data provider Doesn’t want to fix something that is not broken

Leave existing apps alone – supplement and steal functionality

Won’t believe/understand it !!!” (in all likelihood) Prove it with a safe proof-of-concept

Web-enable MIS enquiries/reports


Go ahead and do it!

Start with a simple proof-of-concept> Tactical quick win, solid strategic architecture

“Web enable” existing Advantage Ingres data Address new reporting requirements with

Advantage OpenROAD AppServer modules Enable new and disparate client technologies “Unlock the value” in existing data and 4GL

applications> Reuse existing ABF and Advantage OpenROAD 4GL
