OpenEdge 11 - Progress Software

3. Network compression for state-free AppServer mode, Java
OpenClient, and .NET OpenClient
Message compression improves application performance on a
network. In OpenEdge 11, AppServer messages are compressed when
operating in state-free mode and communicating with any client. This
completes compression work for all modes of the AppServer. In addition,
the Java and .NET OpenClient include compression as well.
*New AppServer functionality for OpenEdge 11.1 includes:
4. TCP Keepalive properties for the .NET OpenClient
In OpenEdge 11.1 the .NET OpenClient supports runtime properties
that allow direct control of the TCP socket’s Keepalive messages, allowing
applications to adapt to the needs of the network that the application is
operating within.
*New AppServer functionality for OpenEdge 11.2 includes:
5. REST Adapter
The OpenEdge 11.2 REST Adapter leverages the power of XML to give
your application the ability to integrate with any other application, written in
any language and on any platform. This provides access to the AppServer by
any client built outside of OpenEdge and opens up your application to a world
of unlimited connectivity, to any app on any platform.
6. Improved AppServer Performance
OpenEdge 11.2 improves AppServer performance for single-run
and singleton persistent procedures. Operations that previously required
multiple round trips from the client to the AppServer are now accomplished
with just one round trip.Single-run procedures apply to the frequent case
where an application needs to run a persistent procedure just one time. The
Single Run combines the three separate calls for Create, Run, and Delete
of the procedure into a single call that executes them all together, resulting
in just one round-trip where previously three were necessary. For Singleton
procedures, the persistent procedure is instantiated only if it is not already
running from a previous invocation, and remains instantiated after each run.
