OpenEdge 11 - Progress Software

OPENEDGE MANAGEMENT
Support for remote jobs
Administrators can now use OpenEdge Management as a central
console to manage jobs on remote systems in addition to the local system.
The ability to manage scripts that reside on remote machines is also included.
DATASERVER
MS SQL Server DataServer dynamic query join optimization
When using a large array of table join conditions with MS SQL Server
DataServer, OpenEdge 11 shows performance improvements by reducing the
number of round trips to the foreign database server and/or by pushing as
much of the processing as possible to the MS SQL Server database.
DATABASE
*New Database functionality for OpenEdge 11.1 includes:
1. Improved performance of Index Rebuild
The performance of index rebuild operations is significantly enhanced
in OpenEdge 11.1 with the addition of new parameters to use when starting
an idxbuild. While the exact benefits will depend on the particular database
and index configuration, DBAs can expect performance improvements of three
times faster, or even more.
2. New startup parameters to tune network performance
In OpenEdge 11.1, five new startup parameters have been introduced
that can be used to tune network performance when using prefetch queries.
Especially beneficial to large databases, the new parameters affect when and
how data is sent across the network when executing a prefetch query.
3. New startup parameters to reduce contention when updating the
LRU (least recently used) chain
This enhancement to OpenEdge 11.1 provides a way to set a skip
value that governs the number of times that a buffer will be accessed before
it is moved to the end of the LRU chain. When this LRU skip value is set
properly it reduces contention on the LRU latch, improving concurrency
and performance.
