Common Application Framework and Startup
Multiple instance install (uses instance names)
Enhanced package version numbering (a.b.c.d)
Support for multi-CD installs
Web Services
Web Services provide high level public interfaces into Unicenter DSM which:
Enables Unicenter DSM integration into customer business processes
Enables a single view for all Unicenter DSM data
The interfaces are described by WSDL and used by Unicenter DSM Web
Console and Unicenter Patch Management.
Unicenter Software Delivery Database Design
Although Unicenter Software Delivery data was previously stored in a
relational database, the schema that was used was not, itself, relational and
this put the product at a disadvantage with respect to performance,
accessibility and common schema integration. In r11 this has been replaced by
the MDB which provides a properly relational schema.
The scope of the redesign includes a number of changes, the foremost and
largest of which is the removal of collections from the Unicenter Software
Delivery DB schema. In the case of 1-to-Many and Many-to-1, collections are
maintained using a foreign key relation. A Many-to-Many relation is maintained
using a link table.
Other fundamental changes include the representation of strings as Unicode
rather than UTF-8 and a revised date/time format. Changes have been made
in all three layers of the Unicenter Software Delivery data access model; the
application layer, the persistent storage layer and the ISAM layer.
USD Packager
Although there have been no changes to the Windows Packager, the following
PIF SDK 4.2 features were added to improve functionality:
PIF compression
The current PIF SDK version 4.0 does not compress any packaged data -
only the self installing PIF compresses data with the compress / LZW
algorithm. The resulting PIF streams are very large.
With this new version all files inside the PIF are compressed with the zlib
library. The compression rate is up to 60% when using zlib compression.
