Red Hat Linux 7.2, 7.3

Notes:

• ObjectBuilder and Smartheap not available
• Orbix support not available

Solaris 7, 8 (32-bit)

Windows 2000

Notes:

• Building a Debug Version on Windows Systems
  
  The PERSISTENCE_REL_MODE_DBG_SYM environment variable causes debug symbols to be built if it is set to YES. This symbol is ignored on any platform other than Windows. It provides debug symbols for the EdgeXtend generated code and for your custom code.

New Features

The following features are new in this release:

• Cache Indexing
  For specified attributes of a class, this feature constructs an in-memory index data structure.
  This index allows applications to rapidly search the shared cache for objects without querying the database. You can restrict queries that have been enhanced for indexing to the cache, improving application performance.
  
  
• Enhanced Relationship Knitting
  Relationship pointers between objects are now preserved when the objects are updated by cache synchronization messages.
  
  
• Guaranteed Cache Synchronization
  The guaranteed messengers ensure that messages are never lost, even if the database server or messaging system crashes.
  
  
• Enhanced Object-to-Relational Mapping
  The addition of union table mapping allows you to map multiple classes in an inheritance hierarchy to a single database table. In the first release, the Object Builder is the only mapping tool in which you can define union mapping.
  
  
• Optimized Header Files
  Additional finer-grained header files are generated for the database mapping classes. Use these to reduce source code dependencies and avoid unnecessary recompilation. The original Project-b.h file is still generated for convenience and to provide backwards compatibility.
  
  
• Improved Documentation and Training
  The documentation and training now emphasize the Persistence-recommended architecture where remote clients access business objects instead of accessing the database-mapping objects directly.
