April 4, 2005

HP announces the immediate availability of Version 2.1 of the Enterprise Toolkit—NonStop Edition Software (product ID SB93V2), a Microsoft® Visual Studio .NET based development environment for HP NonStop servers.

Starting with Version 2.1, the Enterprise Toolkit—NonStop Edition provides

• Support for new Archive project type to create archive files.
• Support for Nested Folder to better manage and organize project source files.
• State-of-the-art support for CORBA applications development.
• Support for HP NonStop SQL/MX 2.0 features, including building programs with embedded module definitions and building applications targeted for the HP Guardian platform.
• New NonStop SQL/MX property fields to specify Open System Services (OSS) define files to be used during NonStop SQL/MX preprocessing and to specify OSS commands that the user wants executed on the server prior to NonStop SQL/MX compilation.
• A new Define Tool to create OSS defines.
• Links to the user manuals and guides available online in the NonStop Technical Library (NTL).

Version 2.1 supersedes Version 2 of the Enterprise Toolkit. Current users of Enterprise Toolkit 1.x can use an upgrade credit (SB93V1U) to upgrade to Enterprise Toolkit 2.1. PC-based cross-compilers that work with Versions 1.x of Enterprise Toolkit will continue to work with Enterprise Toolkit 2.1.

Note that only one version of the Enterprise Toolkit can be installed on a desktop at a time. Version 2.1 of Enterprise Toolkit is compatible with the most recent release of Visual Studio .NET—Version 2003—but not with the earlier release—Version 2002—of the product.
