What's New in OpenEdge Pro2 6.1

The repl.db schema remains unchanged from 6.0. However, the 5.5 and 6.0 dashboard database, ReplPerf.db, has been deprecated in favor of a new database labeled pro2. This database resides only within the Pro2 installation folder and now holds configuration information as well as newer performance metrics.

The Pro2 web application is now deployed using .paar files in place of .war files. The newer method eliminates installation issues encountered with different OpenEdge versions.

The Pro2 Enterprise View is a centralized dashboard that aggregates mission-critical data, reports, and metrics across all your Pro2 instances. From the Enterprise View dashboard, you can quickly access each of your Pro2 instances to manage and act on any reports or replications from the instance. The Enterprise dashboard utilizes a new database labeled Pro2Ent and does not require connectivity to any source or target databases.

For more information, see Pro2 Enterprise View in Use Pro2.

The Pro2 Job Scheduler allows users to optionally discontinue the use of operating system-specific scheduler utilities like the Windows Task Scheduler. The Pro2 Job Scheduler works across all OpenEdge supported operating system infrastructures and provides a common interface for dealing with complex scheduling requirements.

Status check functionality was enhanced to monitor split threads and Enterprise Push program details.
