IBM SystemBuilder™ enables rapid application development with flexible deployment options for the IBM UniVerse® and IBM UniData® (U2™) MultiValue™ data servers.
SystemBuilder is comprised of two key elements. - IBM U2 SB+ for UniData and UniVerse (SB+) is a powerful rapid application development environment for host-based, client/server and Web development.
- SB+ is available as a Personal Edition or as a production license. Prior to Version 5.4 it was also available as a Runtime license and a Developer license which followed the data server editions.
- IBM U2 SBClient for UniData and UniVerse (SBClient) brings GUI features to host-based applications and is the presentation layer for this environment.
Benefits
- Develop mission-critical business solutions optimized for U2 data servers
- Promotes application maintainability and portability
- Enables rapid, flexible development and deployment
- Manages the growing complexity of applications with object-oriented processes
- Increases productivity
- Takes advantage of powerful tools for a component-based, distributed architecture
Features
- Supports terminal character and SBClient graphic user interfaces simultaneously
- Standard U2 expressions and subroutines are used to perform validations, data derivation, and process control
- SBClient provides standard GUI controls such as tab folders, combo boxes, grids, and more - which are automatically associated with their appropriate CUI counterpart when the default GUI interface is selected
- GUI definitions can be created and maintained using the FormPainter tool, included with SBClient
- Integrated group- and user-level security provides an added measure of protection within the application
- Multi-lingual feature supports environments where numerous languages can be supported within the same account. (e.g. Spanish, French, German, and English)
- Report Writer facility includes support for HTML and PDF output creation
- SBClient SBCOM interface integrates external development environments such as Delphi and VisualBasic to create applications with SystemBuilder
- Transaction Processing can be enabled to provide continuity across multiple table updates and may aid in disaster recovery
- Applications can be extended to the Web and beyond through the use of IBM U2 Web Development Environment for UniData and UniVerse, available separately
