PalmServer features
PalmServer is the best client/server application development toolkit for Palm OS®. Fully integrated in HB++, the ultimate Palm OS® RAD tool, it allows the development and deployment of powerful solutions ranging from remote corporate data access to application updating servers.
More than a Synchronization Server...
- Flexible. While other synchronization servers only focus on... synchronization, PalmServer lets you implement your own synchronization and data access logic to match your needs.
- Files and updates. PalmServer can be configured to be used as a file server for application and databases uploads, updates and downloads.
- Database access. PalmServer can be used as a middleware to connect to remote ODBC databases from the handheld. Moreover, tables from remote databases can be mapped to HB++ tables and recordsets for faster and easier data transfer.
- Services. Call server-side applications, run scripts, or invoke ActiveX methods from your handheld.
- Fleet management. Define users and groups to manage a fleet of handheld devices, and monitor their configuration. Define scripts to automatically download software updates and new databases.
A complete suite...
- PalmServer Classes A HB++ package containing all the client APIs.
- PalmServer Service The core of PalmServer, provided as a Windows NT/2000/XP service.
- PalmServer Designer User friendly fleet management and server configuration interface.
Fast and easy development
- Tight integration with HB++. PalmServer client applications are written in HB++, the best Palm OS ® RAD programming language.
- Developer-friendly class library for HB++. Perform a SQL query on a remote database or upload a database in five lines of code!
Easy and cost-effective deployment
- Secure Protect each user account with a password, and encrypts transmissions.
- No extra prc Contrary to other synchronization tools that require a bunch of libraries and applications to be installed along with your solution, the PalmServer client and database connectivity code is directly compiled with your HB++ application, resulting in a single, tiny, .prc file.
- No extra cost per deployed device No matter how many devices you deploy... No matter how many projects you will develop with PalmServer... You just need to buy one single license. PalmServer is thus the only tool available in the market that allows you to know in advance the deployment costs... And no bad surprises to expect on this side!
- Redistribuable service Registered users can freely redistribute and deploy the PalmServer service to their customers. No extra redistribution cost.
