5. Confidential — © 2010 Ingres CorporationSlide 5 Why a New Set of Tools? Replacement of “Old” Interfaces “netutil” “ipm”

6. Confidential — © 2010 Ingres CorporationSlide 6 Why a New Set of Tools? Set of rich GUI tools on all platforms, not just Windows “ivm” “vdba”

7. Confidential — © 2010 Ingres CorporationSlide 7 Why a New Set of Tools? Other Goals & Benefits:  Improved workflows –Drag and drop (direct manipulation) –Normal conventions (Cut, Copy, Paste)  Innovations –Discover and control multiple Ingres installations from a single tool –Support multiple Ingres versions at the same time  Platform to build custom Tools –Rich API available to build on –Easy-to-customize user interface

8. Confidential — © 2010 Ingres CorporationSlide 2 Tools API (Application Programming Interface) What’s the foundation?

9. Confidential — © 2010 Ingres CorporationSlide 9 Tools API Architecture

10. Confidential — © 2010 Ingres CorporationSlide 10 Tools API Architecture Loadable Tools Library:  Independent of Ingres version (10.x, 9.3, 9.2 at least)  “Static” library that accesses Ingres internals without Ingres running  C/C++ Interface with Java/JNI version  One per Ingres installation  Multiple modules can be loaded at once –II_SYSTEM set automatically

11. Confidential — © 2010 Ingres CorporationSlide 11 Tools API Architecture Remote Command Server:  Basically an RPC (Remote Procedure Call) interface  Protocol is carried on top of SSL (Secure Socket Layer) connection (encrypted)  Every function completely checked for correct number and type of arguments –Impossible to send “format c:” remote command  Every action authenticated by Ingres authentication

12. Confidential — © 2010 Ingres CorporationSlide 12 Tools API Architecture Ingres Discovery Server:  Normally a daemon process that simply keeps track of Ingres installations  Listens on “known” TCP/IP port  First one running becomes the “Master” server  All other processes simply register themselves with Master  Master responds to requests for list of installations  Master also acts as HTTP server  Tools API function to request installation list on given host machine

14. Confidential — © 2010 Ingres CorporationSlide 2 Tools User Interface What does it look like?

15. Confidential — © 2010 Ingres CorporationSlide 15 Tools User Interface Built using portable code:  100% Pure Java  Apache Pivot Framework (http://pivot.apache.org)http://pivot.apache.org –Designed by VMWare, in use in VMWare Server 2.0 –Apache-licensed, Rich Internet Application framework –Active development and community  UI Layout using XML (WTKX) files –Declarative interface simplifies coding –Even allows code scripting (JavaScript) within UI layout  Prototype code currently running (already) on Windows, Mac OSX, Linux

21. Confidential — © 2010 Ingres CorporationSlide 2 Plans Where do we go from here?

22. Confidential — © 2010 Ingres CorporationSlide 22 Plans – Code Sprint Results “Sprinted” along with DBMS & OpenROAD  Review of Functional Specification  Valuable feedback and suggestions  Spent one day of training with two Ingres engineers  Another day of coding and testing

23. Confidential — © 2010 Ingres CorporationSlide 23 Plans – Product Release Guidelines for Release:  “No product released before its time” –Don’t want to have yet another incomplete Tool  Usability Testing –Easy to use for novices –Familiar enough for migrating users –Inviting enough for Roy Hann to use daily ;)  Available on major Ingres platforms  Support for Ingres IVW, 10.x, 9.3, 9.2 (?!)

24. Confidential — © 2010 Ingres CorporationSlide 24 Plans – “Orchestram” Integration “Director” fills a hole in “Orchestram”:  Need for local Ingres Administration  Need for Ingres Discovery “Director” needs “Orchestram”:  Software delivery (installation)  Job scheduling  Reporting / Charting  Monitoring capability (Nagios-compatible)

25. Confidential — © 2010 Ingres CorporationSlide 25 Plans – Timeline  Watch the Community Wiki  Watch my blog at: –http://community.ingres.com/forum/blogs/whiro01 /http://community.ingres.com/forum/blogs/whiro01 /
