SOLARIS X86 SOLUTIONS
PROGRESS 4GL and RDBMS for Solaris x86
PROGRESS(R) Version 6 application development environment offers
users of SunSoft's Solaris(TM) x86 operating environment a 100%
solution for application development, deployment and maintenance
in extended enterprise computing configurations. PROGRESS delivers
the ease of use, flexibility and range of capabilities to handle
every phase of the application life cycle, from simple tasks to
complex revisions.
The PROGRESS application development environment comprises a
fourth-generation language (4GL), a relational database management
system (RDBMS), and a library of powerful development and end-user
tools. These well integrated products are designed for
implementing applications with the flexibility, portability and
interoperability to address evolving business needs and exploit
developing computer technologies.
A Stable, Open Platform
Solaris x86 is a powerful and versatile UNIX operating environment
for the Intel(R) x86 platform. Designed as a foundation for
enterprise computing, it supports major industry standards and
provides high-performance 32-bit UNIX multitasking, multithreading
and multiuser capabilities. Solaris x86 is compatible with Solaris
SPARC, ensuring full interoperability between the leading CISC
(x86) and RISC (SPARC) platforms. And Solaris x86 is scalable from
desktops to supercomputers, so that customers can configure
heterogeneous enterprise networks and expand them easily as their
computing needs evolve.
Solaris x86 provides native ONC+(TM) technology-based LAN and WAN
networking to support broadly distributed computing and system
management. Solaris also includes powerful application and
Graphical User Interface (GUI) development tools through the
OpenWindows(TM) facility, and a rich suite of user productivity
applications under DeskSet(TM). Numerous commercial third-party
applications, including many Microsoft(R) Windows and DOS
applications, run on the Solaris x86 environment.
PROGRESS Version 6 Features and Benefits
* PROGRESS 4GL: a complete development
language that includes ANSI-standard SQL. Offers developers the
power and control to produce complex applications quickly without
writing 3GL code
* PROGRESS RDBMS: a powerful client/server
database engine that supports distributed processing across a
wide range of operating systems, hardware platforms, network
protocols and data managers. Features high throughput, roll-
forward recovery, flexible record-locking controls, on-line
backup, two-phase commit, and multithreading, multiserver
architecture
* DataServer Architecture: provides
database-specific DataServers that allow PROGRESS applications to
read from and write to a variety of databases and file managers,
including Oracle(R), RMS and Rdb/VMS
* PROGRESS Help System: allows users to
retrieve full screen descriptions of any PROGRESS or operating
system error. Includes 4GL syntax diagrams for all supported 4GL
statements. Provides reference information needed to create
complex applications in PROGRESS
* Data Dictionary: the central repository
for database definitions, business rules and application
defaults. Controls user permissions, maintains referential
integrity rules, and stores information about DataServer database
structures
* Procedure Editor: a full-screen,
interactive one-stop editing tool that allows a programmer to
quickly and easily enter, modify and test blocks of code through
an integrated edit, compile and test loop. Editor immediately
displays all error messages, provides direct access to the
integrated Help System, and provides smooth integration to the
PROGRESS Compiler for syntax checking and unit testing
