New Product Introductions
The Evolution of ISAM
ISAM has been the backbone of Synergy applications for decades, and ISAM Rev 7 builds on that foundation to bring customers capabilities modern databases now expect: greater scalability, built-in encryption, and additional protection against data corruption, all without disrupting current operations. We’ll walk through what’s changing, what’s coming, and the milestones ahead.
Static Code Analysis
Purpose-built for Synergy developers, this security tool detects OWASP vulnerabilities in both traditional Synergy and Synergy .NET applications, bringing modern security analysis to your existing development workflow.
High-Cooperative ISAM
A new capability to existing ISAM Rev 6 that enables common database operations—such as expanding record sizes, adding or modifying keys, and restructuring ISAM files—to be performed while users remain active in the system, eliminating the downtime traditionally required for these tasks.
xfODBC and SQL Connection replacement products
We’re updating the technology under these products to provide better control and supportability with fewer dependencies. We’ll cover what’s changing and how to transition to the new versions.
