Uniplex™ Business Software for ULTRIX SPD 32.83.01
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
• Vertical, horizontal, and stacked bars
• Line, scatter, area and stacked area graphs
• Automatic or manual scaling with limits
• Presentation format options
• On-line help
Sketchpad allows fast and simple creation of diagrams
and sketches using many of the functions available in
Business Graphics.
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.
Print Composer
The Uniplex Print Composer prints high-quality docu-
mentation utilizing proportionally spaced text, boxing,
multiple columns and various shading abilities (depen-
dent upon the type of printer used). The Print Composer
offers support for laser printers, including those running
PostScript®.
