Introducing… Application Data Caching Reduce application data retrieval overhead

N-tier Performance: Application Data Caching Cache frequently accessed data on client n Caching reduces – Network traffic – Appserver roundtrips n Suited for static and low volume data – No batching – No foreign fields – No automatic refresh n n n Cache built on demand Seamlessly integrated into SDO’s Optional use with Dynamic Combo’s 19 © 2005 Progress Software Corporation DEV-01, What’s New in Progress Dynamics

Enabling Data Caching Managing your cash! n Set cache. Duration SDO property to non-zero value Value Cache Status 0 Cache disabled 0<n< ∞ ? Cache enabled, expires in specified number of seconds Cache enabled, no autoexpiration 20 © 2005 Progress Software Corporation DEV-01, What’s New in Progress Dynamics

Enabling Data Sharing Independent of Cache n Set share. Data SDO property to TRUE – Multiple SDO’s share common temp-table – Each SDO has own buffer n Leave share. Data SDO property FALSE – Each SDO has own copy of data n Data Sharing is independent of caching 21 © 2005 Progress Software Corporation DEV-01, What’s New in Progress Dynamics

Introducing… DCU in Batch Mode Unattended, multi-platform installation and upgrade

Deployment: Running DCU in Batch Mode Overview n Dynamics Configuration Utility (DCU) is used to install / upgrade Dynamics – Script driven via XML – Customizable and extensible – Creates and updates databases – Runs update programs – Supports multi-release updates 24 © 2005 Progress Software Corporation DEV-01, What’s New in Progress Dynamics

Deployment: Running DCU in Batch Mode New possibilities n Interactive DCU interface – Runs on GUI clients only via client-server connection (no Web. Client™ support) – Cannot be run unattended n New batch mode – Can run on multiple platforms – Can run unattended – Can be integrated into application install 25 © 2005 Progress Software Corporation DEV-01, What’s New in Progress Dynamics
