This chapter describes the enhancements made to the Caché system
management and development utilities.
Caché Configuration Manager
The new Configuration Manager features include:
-
Support for ECP networking configuration.
-
A new Java tab with which you can specify, for a given namespace,
the default directory information used by the code generated by the Java,
EJB, and C++ bindings.
The Control Panel new features include:
-
Support for ECP and Legacy networking.
The Caché Server Manager contains additional security measures
in Caché 5.0. You can no longer enter and store a username
and password for the server when defining remote server connections on a client.
If security is enabled on the server, you are prompted for username and password
when you attempt to connect to the server.
This release includes enhancements to the following database utilities:
There is a new routine called
GBLOCKCOPY which
replaces the routine
%GBLOCKCOPY. It rapidly copies globals
from a database to either another database or namespace.
This routine has the ability to bundle several different copy operations
into a batch, and execute them all at the same time using processes running
in the background. It contains a new monitoring facility and easy to read
summary and detail reports.
The
GBLOCKCOPY utility can be used to transfer
globals either from an 8-KB database to a 2-KB database, or from a 2-KB database
to an 8-KB database.
The System Viewer utility has been removed from the product; use the
Control Panel for the features previously in the System Viewer.
This release includes enhancements to the following system utilities:
Using this parameter with the
ccontrol stop command
starts Caché after the shutdown procedure concludes successfully. If
Caché is not running, no warning is issued, and Caché starts
normally. Any arguments which are not for the stop function, such as
nostu or
a new configuration file name, are passed to
ccontrol start for
execution.
To see the most current available options, type:
For help on other
ccontrol options, type:
The Caché monitoring facility routine previously called
^VPMON is
now named
^PERFMON. The routine now contains additional
help text for the menu and list of available custom fields. Code references
to
^VPMON now point to the
^PERFMON routine.
