2Wire SPD 32.83.01 manual Database, Business Graphics and Sketchpad, Screen and Menu Builder

Uniplex™ Business Software for ULTRIX on RISC, Version 7.00c

Database

Uniplex II Plus is available in two variants. The Base I version includes an integrated relational database man- agement system. Data can be addressed by using ei- ther the Uniplex forms interface, or by issuing industry standard Structured Query Language (SQL) commands. The Base II option does not include the database man- agement system, but provides transparent linkages to external databases such as INFORMIX®. Base I and Base II cannot coexist.

Uniplex II Plus, Base I provides a relational database where data can be easily accessed through either the Uniplex database forms interface or industry standard SQL commands. The size of the database is limited only by the speed and storage capabilities of the hardware.

Some features of the Base I database are:

•Interactive spreadsheet integration

•Optimized queries

•Transaction processing/rollback

•C-ISAM data structure

•Integrated data dictionary

•Multiple security systems

•Controlled validation

•Audit trails

•Full-screen editing

•Multiple verb definition

•Linked tables

•Full, on-line help

The Uniplex Database Links feature of Uniplex II Plus, Base II, allows users to access third-party databases (i.e., INFORMIX) as opposed to the Uniplex-supplied database. Users can cut and paste data using the Uni- plex forms-based interface. Database information can be selected and merged into memos, reports, or stan- dard letters for mass mailings.

Business Graphics and Sketchpad

Using either low or high resolution terminals and wide range of dot matrix to laser printers, Uniplex allows users to present data dynamically tied to spreadsheet and database information. Graphs can be created and incorporated into a document, printed or mailed elec- tronically. The sketchpad feature allows for fast and simple creation of diagrams and sketches.

Uniplex Business Graphics include:

• 2-D and 3-D displays

Screen and Menu Builder

The Uniplex Screen Builder provides facilities for cus- tomizing menus and screens. Screens and menus can be implemented across the entire system or selectively for specific work groups or individuals.

The Screen Builder is a menu-driven utility that allows complex logical operations to be constructed by using shell scripts. Custom menus can be developed to call: additional menus, application areas, a utility through the UNIX shell, a pop-up menu, or an external application.
