NetBase^® Client

Intuitive Programming Interface for Direct Client/Server Technology

• Reduces operating system user licensing by providing multiple simultaneous node access to remote files without remote logons
• Enables logical transactions in client/server environments with DBXBEGIN/DBXEND intrinsics
• Performs remote procedure calls to load and execute
• Works with many client/server development packages

As computing environments become more and more distributed, it is important for MPE data to be accessible from every computer. Without a central console from which to manipulate all data types, end users can’t share data across the network.

NetBase® Client provides a strategic solution for legacy systems to interface with open systems. Using Quest Software’s NetBase caching, NetBase Client significantly increases access speeds and minimizes overhead. NetBase Client simplifies the programmer's job of creating client/server applications or re-engineering of existing applications. NetBase Client offers a complete set of APIs that give UNIX, DOS, and Windows 95/NT client/server applications direct read and write access through standard 16 or 32-bit TurboIMAGE, OMNIDEX or MPE intrinsic calls to data residing in MPE files, KSAM files and TurboIMAGE databases on HP 3000 systems.

By implementing NetBase Client APIs with UNIX or Windows applications, IS managers can cut development time in half. NetBase Client APIs help IS staff quickly implement applications that are tightly integrated with existing HP 3000 systems using simple recompiles with DLLs (e.g., Oracle, Informix, Sybase, COBOL, Microfocus, Excel, Visual Basic, PowerBuilder, or any of the other DOS/UNIX/Windows tools available). Finally, NetBase Client allows RPC calls to be executed on the HP 3000 via the NBRPC interface.

MPE and open systems coexistence provides transparent programmatic access to transactions with intelligent mapping facilities designed to provide continuous, seamless, and real-time or scheduled movement of data from MPE to other platforms and RDBMS. Quest Software addresses these needs with the following middleware solutions: BridgeWare, SharePlex Bridge and NFS/iX.
