  3. Information Management Branding • CA has recently refined its product branding message • Ingres and OpenROAD are key components of the Advantage Brand of database management and application development tools

  4. Advantage at CA

  5. Advantage Ingres 2.6 introduces a new release of the CA licensing modules Non-fatal error message are logged when a license violation is detected Server licenses are checked at startup and once a day thereafter No enforcement of MAC Address/Serial # License tied to machine tier, machine type and user information License Key can be shipped with the order Advantage OpenROAD server-side licensing is still supported 30 Day grace period still exists Ingres Licensing Update

  6. Many clients have requested tools to help them track their license usage 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. Logging & Reporting

  7. Keys available to clients in a number of ways: 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 OpenROAD patches are planned, but server-side licensing is honored. Licenses Distribution & Rollout

  8. ca smart partners • The ca smart Branding and Certification Program represents the highest quality and innovation of the software developers, hardware vendors and system integrators that create solutions built on CA's industry-leading technologies

  13. Recent Releases • Advantage Ingres 2.6 • GA on Solaris, Linux (Intel), • Microsoft Windows, HP-UX • Ports to other platforms underway • Supports • Simple upgrade from prior releases • Global eBusiness • New application capabilities • http://support.ca.com/techbases/ingres/4287.html

  14. 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

  15. Global eBusiness?

  16. 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

  17. 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

  19. Advantage OpenROAD

  20. Java/COM Bridge Advantage OpenROAD 4.1 MS Office, VB, VC++ OpenROAD 4GL GUI Presentation Business logic Persistent data DB

  21. 4GL Application Server • Overview • 4GL language features • Architecture

  22. Language Features • Simple high-level 4GL language • SQL “literate” • Procedural and object-oriented • System classes • Developer classes • Rich GUI for client applications • High productivity

  23. 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

  24. 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

  25. Supported Servers • Any COM Automation Server • 4GL AppServer • Applications can be physically partitioned • All EDBC databases • All Enterprise Access (EAS) databases • Ingres

  26. 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

  27. 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

  28. 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 logic

  29. Recent Releases • Advantage OpenROAD4.1 Maintenance Release • GA on Microsoft Windows • Soon on Solaris,Intel Linux, HP-UX, Tru64, AIX • Includes • All Level 2 verified fixes • Unix Enhancements • Application Server Improvements • Speed Key Enhancements

  30. Unix Enhancements • Linux Intel OpenROAD Introduced • Compaq Tru64 OpenROAD Introduced • Supports Installation into Ingres II 2.0 and Ingres II 2.5 installations • Unix Server Pooler Controller – Similar to Windows Server Pooler Service

  31. Application Server Improvements • AppServer COM client Improvements • Name Server automation • Simple integration with MSOffice (Word/Excel) and ASP • Improved VASA functions • Better server farm load balancing and fail over capabilities • Security Enhancements • New XML-in capability and XSLT plug-in points • Easier development of SOAP and Web Services

  32. Speed Key Enhancements • Support added for almost any key on keyboard as a Speed Key • Support Combinations of keys and single keys as Speed Keys • Made Unix and Windows Speed Key Handling the same – same Speed Key file can be used

  33. Trends • Deployment of Web Services through technologies such as .Net & J2EE is driving application upgrades & reengineering • Maximizing the available resources

  34. Product Plans & Direction • Advantage OpenROAD • Advantage EDBC • Advantage Enterprise Access

  35. OpenROAD Next Steps • Fused Runtime Deployment • Native Java Interface • Java Application • Java Servlet/JSP • Exploitation of Ingres II 2.6 Features • Row Producing Procedures • Unicode Support

  36. Integration with J2EE and .Net • Model-based editor to supportParadigm+ and Rational Rose via XMI • Native Java interface to Advantage OpenROAD 4GL Appl Server • Integration of CA-developed Web Services Broker into Advantage OpenROAD Runtime
