Release Plan and Objectives

TopBraid 5.0 introduces a new component in the TopBraid Suite architecture – TopBraid DataCache. TopBraid DataCache is an optional module that provides high availability and hot-hot failover for TopBraid EVN, TopBraid RDM, and custom TopBraid applications. With DataCache, users can distribute read/write TopBraid applications across multiple load-balanced application servers. Prior to 5.0 this was supported solely for read-only applications. In addition, as outlined in the sections below, we have also added a number of other features targeting improvements in server management and enterprise readiness.

Release 5.0 also includes a text auto-classification capability for TopBraid EVN. User-configurable, event-driven notifications are another significant, new capability available in both TopBraid EVN and TopBraid RDM; notifications are designed to support seamless collaboration across respective user communities.

Key Improvements of 5.0

All Server Products

TopBraid Enterprise Vocabulary Net (EVN) and Reference Data Manager (RDM)

* Please note that while we continue to ship sample vocabularies for EVN and RDM within TBC-ME, they have been removed from the server packages. If you’d like to use the examples on a server, you need to deploy them after installation.

* EVN and RDM Ontology Editing: Class characteristics section may not show up in edit mode.
Workaround: Import SPIN Standard Library. This will ensure that the section shows up.

* EVN could not run ‘rebuilding index Solr index’ if Solr engine has authentication in front of it. Workaround is to switch of the authentication until the issue is fixed in the final release.

TopBraid Enterprise Vocabulary Net (EVN) only

TopBraid Reference Data Manager (RDM) only
