Oracle Corporation has announced the immediate availability of Oracle(r) Enterprise Developer Suite Release 2.1 (formerly known as Oracle(r) Web Developer Suite), a major upgrade of its award-winning suite of development tools and servers to build mission-critical, corporate applications. Offering everything developers need to build enterprise applications in one box, Oracle Enterprise Developer Suite 2.1 features Oracle Designer 2.1 (formerly known as Oracle Designer/2000 2.1) and Oracle Developer 2.1 (formerly known as Oracle Developer/20002.1), a fully integrated solution for repository-based modeling. Oracle Enterprise Developer Suite is the premier toolset for building database applications on Oracle`s Network Computing Architecture(NCA). It offers corporations, SIs, ISVs and VARs integrated, cutting-edge development technology which combines the rich multimedia interfaces of client/server with the low cost and immediate accessibility of the Web. Oracle`s NCA simply enables today`s corporations to leverage the Internet model of computing to solve their business problems. With Oracle Enterprise Developer Suite, developers can easily deploy new applications or re-purpose existing client/server and legacy applications in Web environments. Oracle Designer 2.1 blurs the traditional lines between Rapid Application Development (RAD) and modeling, delivering unprecedented levels of productivity for building database applications. Oracle Designer allows business users and developers to visually model business processes. Once the model is fully defined, Oracle Designer is capable of automatically generating complete Oracle Developer applications. Oracle Designer is also capable of reverse engineering any Oracle Developer application back into the model. This unique ability is achieved through the completeness of the information model inside the Oracle Repository. Oracle Developer applications are deployed to scalable, professionally managed application servers where they can be accessed by any PC capable of running a standard Internet browser. Server-based deployment of applications dramatically reduces client administration costs. Oracle Enterprise Developer Suite 2.1 includes both the Oracle Application Server and Oracle8database server, delivering everything developers need to build, debug and deploy database applications. "Oracle Enterprise Developer Suite 2.1 will allow us to raise the level of productivity for both our developers and our system administration staff," said Linda Woolley, vice president of Development, High Line Corporation. "Model-based development enables us to reduce application development time and server-based deployment will allow our customers to dramatically reduce their system support requirements. Storing our application models for our Human Resource and Payroll Management software in the Oracle Repository greatly improves our ability to manage the application life cycle." "Oracle Enterprise Developer Suite delivers an unprecedented level of productivity to database application developers," said Sohaib Abbasi, senior vice president, Tools Division at Oracle. "Through model-based development and server-based deployment Oracle is helping take the labor out of building and owning database applications." Oracle Enterprise Developer Suite 2.1 includes the following components: Oracle Designer 2.1, Oracle Developer 2.1, Oracle Application Server 3.0.1, Oracle Database Server version 7.3.4 and 8.0.4, Oracle Enterprise Development Kit 2.1 and a 1 year membership to the Oracle Technology Network. The Enterprise Development Kit contains Oracle partner products such as Symantec Visual Page, Wallop Build-IT and Web Trends, as well as Oracle trial software such as Oracle Application Server 4.0 and Oracle JDeveloper (formerly known as Oracle AppBuilder for Java) for evaluation purposes.
