System Builder Exstensible Architecture (SB/XA) 6.0.1 Released

SB/XA is a Rapid Application Development (RAD) and deployment environment that delivers up-to-the-minute interface design and portable reporting capabilities designed to help you maximize your investment in RocketU2 technology. Existing SB+ applications can automatically convert without requiring changes to your underlying code.

Using Microsoft .NET Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), the RocketU2 development team created new XAML clients that could deploy existing SB+ applications securely inside a browser or rich client without changing the existing application logic. SB/XA applications can be animated, scaled, and resized without loss of screen resolution, interfaces can be branded or updated to improve usability, and data can be displayed in customized formats that change dynamically based on application data or events.

Leveraging Microsoft .NET Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), we created a new middle-tier Communication Server that delivers connection resilience, meaning that dropped connections are restored without administrator intervention. Automatic Transport Security encrypts every connection from the new clients to the middle tier to the highest Internet standards, and ClickOnce capabilities allow new clients to be deployed automatically, and allow updates to be automatically detected and deployed without further administration.

SB/XA automates security connections and eliminates the need for multiple User IDs and passwords after a user's system is initially configured. This simplifies password administration, and users avoid the frustration of having to supply different IDs and passwords.

XML Paper Specifications (XPS) provide support for SB+ ReportWriter and Query reports, which are converted automatically and can be viewed with a new XPS viewer that further extends existing report capabilities with options to save, publish and share reports as XPS portable format.

SB/XA 6.0.1 gives you the tools you need to quickly and cost-effectively update your SB+ applications.
