Altova MapForce 2012 released

Fri, 21 Oct 2011 16:40:45 GMT

Manipulating a customer database with Altova MapForce.

Adds streaming reading for large files, parse-date and parse-time functions, visual alignment guides and JDBC support.

Altova MapForce is a graphical data mapping, data conversion, and data integration tool. It maps between any combination of XML, database, flat file, EDI, Excel, XBRL, and/or Web service, then transforms data instantly or auto-generates royalty-free code for the execution of recurrent conversions. Altova MapForce includes the following languages for code generation: XSLT 1.0, XSLT 2.0, XQuery, Java, C#, and C++. Altova MapForce integrates with Visual Studio and Eclipse to let you access MapForce benefits inside these leading IDEs. Altova MapForce also allows you to easily integrate disparate data sources or create Web services using graphical, drag-and-drop functionality.

The following editions are available:

Updates in 2012

Streaming reading for large files - MapForce 2012 includes new streaming reading functionality for large XML, CSV, and FLF (fixed length format) files and databases. This enhanced read feature is equivalent to the direct file output feature introduced in v2011r2. Now the MapForce built-in execution engine can read arbitrarily long input sources and create correspondingly large output streams. Users no longer have to split extremely large XML, CSV, or FLF input files into chunks for processing, and MapForce can even theoretically read an entire relational database in one pass and generate an XML or other output file in a single pass. This is an important feature for extremely large ETL (Extract/Transform/Load) applications. MapForce already has included streaming output capabilities in recent releases and the streaming input capabilities allow MapForce to perform the most demanding ETL tasks.
New parse-date and parse-time functions - Users must produce a tremendous variety of representations of date and time in data transformation projects. Sometimes an input data stream includes a value that represents only the date or only the time. These two new functions make it easier to process these formats than the existing parse-dateTime function.
Visual alignment guides - Complex data mappings with many components and functions can appear very cluttered on the screen. MapForce 2012 introduces new horizontal and vertical alignment guides to help users organize a mapping as they drag elements into place.
JDBC database driver support - Now, in addition to ODBC and ADO drivers, MapForce 2012 supports JDBC database drivers for database connectivity. When the user clicks the Insert Database toolbar icon or menu selection, the database connection dialog now includes a selection for JDBC drivers.
New Java API - The same features of the new Java API described above in the XMLSpy section are available in MapForce 2012, allowing Java developers to directly manipulate MapForce functionality via the Java API. New API examples for all programming languages demonstrate API functionality much more extensively than previous versions.
Search in Project window - Also as described above in the XMLSpy section, search functionality has been added to the Project window in MapForce 2012. This means users can find files contained in large, complex MapForce projects more easily.

Altova StyleVision 2012 released

Fri, 21 Oct 2011 16:38:57 GMT

Designing a form in StyleVision's design view.

Composite styles can now be applied to RTF, Word, and PDF as well as HTML and Authentic electronic forms.

Altova StyleVision is a drag-and-drop, visual stylesheet designer for transforming XML, XBRL, and database data into eye-catching HTML, RTF , PDF, OOXML/Word, and Authentic electronic form output. Altova StyleVision is standards-based and supports XSLT, XSL:FO, CSS, JavaScript, and all major databases. Altova StyleVision is optimized for single source publishing and even integrates with Visual Studio and Eclipse. Altova StyleVision includes templates for industry standard XML vocabularies and an HTML importer for converting HTML pages into XML.

The following editions are available:

Updates in 2012

Composite Styles - You now have even more control over how output content is formatted with support for composite styles in StyleVision. In Version 2012 you can use XPath to build a composite that controls multiple style features of a single attribute. In addition, composite styles can now be applied to RTF, Word, and PDF as well as HTML and Authentic electronic forms.
Assigning dynamic class values to RTF, Word, and PDF output - In the past StyleVision users have been able to use XPath to assign class dynamically in HTML and Authentic - now this functionality has been extended to RTF, Word, and PDF as well.
Choose CSS file via XPath - StyleVision offers a great deal of flexibility around output formatting by supporting multiple CSS files in a single design. Now you can exert even more control through the use of XPath to select individual CSS files for output to HTML and Authentic electronic forms based on end user input or other parameters. The XPath is evaluated at the beginning of output processing so that you can easily change the appearance of the entire document - a single CSS or all CSS files associated with the design can be selected.
Support for HTML5 and CSS3 - StyleVision 2012 now supports HTML5 and CSS3 styles. HTML output mode is selected via the same dialog box used to select Internet Explorer compatibility. CSS3 styles (e.g., background-size, font-stretch) can be added in the Styles or Properties entry helper window or called from an external CSS.
JDBC database driver support - StyleVision now supports JDBC drivers to make it even easier for Java developers as well as others to connect to databases. The Database Connection Wizard makes it easy to configure the JDBC connection - simply enter the connection string and select a valid JDBC driver from the dropdown to enable a connection.
Java API - In response to multiple user requests, Altova is pleased to announce the introduction of a completely revamped native Java API. With the introduction of this new native Java API, you can write code that accesses methods and properties in StyleVision from Java applications. Java developers can now more easily automate StyleVision functionality in Java projects - without having to adapt the COM API. This provides even more flexibility for users working with Java.
New samples for API use - StyleVision now includes several code samples in JScript, C#, and Java that demonstrate how to utilize the Java or COM API to automate StyleVision from different development environments.
Search in Project Window - StyleVision's robust design capabilities mean that users are developing ever more sophisticated projects with multiple folders and sub-folders. Altova has now made it easier to find files in large projects by enabling users to search in the project window- flexible search options make locating files even faster. Simply highlight the title bar in the project window and press Ctrl-F to invoke the Search dialog box.

The following editions are available:

Updates in 2012

HTML5 support
HTML5 is the latest version of the language for presenting information on Web pages. Version 5 includes numerous improvements that are driving its rapid adoption, including the addition of new elements that make it easier to present multimedia content such as video, audio, dynamic images, and so on, in a standardized way (i.e., without requiring separate software). This helps improve interoperability of Web pages - and Web-based apps - while increasing their sophistication. At the same time, it makes creating rich content for multiple browsers and platforms much simpler for the developer.

XMLSpy has long supported HTML4 and XHTML editing, and even includes an intelligent CSS editor. Now, with Version 2012, XMLSpy introduces intelligent support for editing HTML5 code (and CSS3 stylesheets).

It's easy to write code in the XMLSpy HTML5 editor, which provides context sensitive editing help in both static entry helper windows and drop-down menus that offer allowed element and attribute choices as you type. Code completion also helps speed editing and ensure closed elements.

CSS3 support
The XMLSpy CSS editor now supports CSS3 in addition to CSS2.1. Syntax coloring, context-sensitive entry helper windows and drop-down menus, screen tips, and more assist developers with writing CSS code to style their HTML pages. Similar to working in the HTML editor, you can opt to view your CSS code and resulting HTML page side-by-side as you edit.

JDBC database driver support
As with other database-enabled MissionKit tools, XMLSpy 2012 supports JDBC drivers in addition to existing ODBC and ADO options. JDBC connections are easily configured in the Database Connection Wizard.

Java API
In addition to the existing COM API, XMLSpy 2011 includes a new, native Java API, giving Java developers an easy way to automate XMLSpy and integrate its functionality in their applications. This adds more flexible options for developers to efficiently access XMLSpy functionality from their preferred platform.

New samples for API use
As with other MissionKit tools that include a COM API and the new Java API, XMLSpy 2012 ships with code samples in JScript, C#, and Java to demonstrate how to utilize an API to automate XMLSpy from different development environments.

Find in Project
The power of the Find in Files and Find in Schemas functionality in XMLSpy has now been extended to XMLSpy Projects: simply enter the name of files(s) you need to find, and XMLSpy will locate them instantly. This makes working with even the most complex projects that much easier and efficient.

ProtectKit3.5 released

Wed, 19 Oct 2011 10:46:31 GMT

Password protection options in ProtectKit3.5.

Protect your software applications by preventing unauthorized copies of your application from running.

ProtectKit3.5 protects your software applications by preventing unauthorized copies of your application from running. With a few simple steps, you can protect your application with one of the strongest copy protection systems available. ProtectKit has two protection models: Password-Type protection and Network-Type protection. Password-Type protection locks applications until they are unlocked by a unique password. Network-Type protection provides protection for applications running on a local network.

Features

Prevents unauthorized copies of your applications from running
Two protection models: Password-Type protection and Network-Type protection
Uses PC's hardware signature so applications copied to another PC will not run
Password-Type protection offers 5 kinds of passwords
Network-Type protection detects the how many application are running on a local network
Supports 64 bit operating systems and 64 bit applications
No special hardware needed: No dongles, usb locks, or other hardware
Rent or lease your software applications
3 ways to generate passwords
Be sure that every copy of your software now being used has been authorized and paid for

Password-Type protection uses a lockword and the hardware signature of the PC where the application is running to create a unique password that unlocks the application on that PC and only that PC. If the application is copied to another PC, it will not run until it has been unlocked with a new password.

Password-Type protection offers 5 types of protection: standard protection, "number of uses" protection, "number of days" protection, "number of months" protection, and "expiration date" protection. With ProtectKit3.5, you can set renewable passwords that can enable applications that have exceeded the number of uses, number of days or number of months. Being able to renew an application with a new password after that application has exceeded its allowed uses, days, or months, gives you the ability to rent or lease your software applications. Renew passwords can be generated regularly based on rental or lease agreements with your end users.

In addition to Password-Type protection, the ProtectKit3.5 offers Network-Type protection for your Win32 (Win64) applications. Network-Type protection detects the number of instances of your application that are running on a network at the same time. The ProtectKit3.5 provides the ability for these applications to communicate with each other letting you, not only detect unauthorized copies, but to disable them as well. With ProtectKit3.5, you can set the number of applications that you will allow to run simultaneously on a network.
