IBM i 7.1的新特性

IBM i 7.1的新特性

500个工程师，历时24个月的开发和测试，成就了IBM i 7.1在DB2数据库，应用开发，安全性，虚拟化，HA，存储，管理软件，网络，Java以及Web等10个方面的新特性。他们是：

• IBM DB2 for i supports that data can be stored in its native XML format, split into relational database columns, or created from existing database columns.
• IBM OmniFind Text Search Server for i now supports search in XML documents within DB2. 
• IBM DB2 SQL engine for i SQE now supports for Logical Files, which  transparently improves application performance.
• IBM Rational Open Access: RPG Edition simplifies the development of transaction processing applications for mobile devices and web services when developing with Rational Developer for Power.
• The enhanced security feature 'Column Level Encryption' enables companies to secure a specific column in a database table, without application changes. The encryption algorithms is supplied by the third party.
• The virtualization that IBM i 6.1 can host i 7.1 partitions and storage to enable simpler testing of a new release before a software upgrade. IBM i 7.1 can also host an i 6.1 partition, enabling companies to keep an application that requires an earlier release after upgrading their main application environment. 
• The HA feature 'PowerHA Asynchronous Geographic Mirroring' extends the distance supported for multi-site Disaster Recovery solutions for both internal disk and SAN-based solutions. 
• The HA feature 'LUN Level Switching' is a datacenter high availability solution, where a set of disks on IBM DS8000 or IBM DS6000 are automatically switched between servers for scheduled maintenance or in the event of a failure. 
• IBM i automatically collects I/O performance data and moves most active data to Solid State Drives (SSD) to achieve optimal performance. 
• IBM Systems Director Navigator can manage target servers running IBM i 5.4, 6.1 or 7.1 from a single browser environment. 
• IBM Systems Director Management server enhanced to monitor and manage target IBM i environments, including PTF management. 
• IBM i Access for Windows 7.1 Enhancements include support for XML data type with the .NET, ODBC, and OLE DB providers. 
• BRMS improved functions for managing backups, media, backup history, and recoveries. 
• IBM Transform Services delivers Adobe output support to IBM i applications with new support to transform existing Spool Files to PDF. 
• Telnet Client SSL Support provides more secure communications using Telnet Client support between servers  
• Zend Server Community Edition replaces Zend Core and now preloaded with IBM i 7.1, 6.1, 5.4. 
• Zend Server replaces Zend Platform and provides advanced functions such as application monitoring, page caching, code tracing and job queue. 
• IBM Technology for Java 5 and 6 support for 32-bit and 64-bit JVMs
• iSCSI Software Target replaces current iSCSI adapter on Power server side with software in IBM i.  
• IBM HTTP Server for i running Apache supports latest Apache 2.2 release that is Payment Card Industry (PCI) Compliant. 
• Static WSDL of Integrated Web Services server support providing enhanced flexibility Now
