Today we published the Palo 3.0 Service release 1.
It includes new release versions of the major Palo products. Our developers in Freiburg and on other locations worked hard during the last months, sometimes even on weekends or at night. My latest blog was about developing software resembling a marathon race. In that sense today’s release means we are on time and ahead of the crowd. The service release contains the following elements:
- Palo OLAP 3.0 SR1
- Palo ETL 3.0 SR1
- Palo for Excel 3.0 SR1
- Palo Suite Enterprise 3.0 SR1
- Palo Suite 3.1 ramp up
For those who are annoyed by looking at change logs, these are most important changes:
Palo OLAP 3.0 SR1 includes major performance improvements in the Multi-Threaded version. We optimized all areas of Palo OLAP regarding speed and scalability. Other big improvements were made to optimize the general Marker performance.
The new Palo ETL 3.0 SR1 version offers a 100% web based user interface for modelling and administration of the ETL process. All functions can now be created and accessed via a modern web user interface. Relational database can be used as additional sources to load data into. This allows for example the creation of staging areas to pre calculate and consolidate information before loading them into Palo OLAP. We also offer in Palo ETL 3.0 SR1 new extraction filter functions for dimensions and cubes. Furthermore, we developed new features for the dynamical creation and extraction of Palo OLAP rules. Palo ETL 3.0 SR1 is also part of the Palo Suite 3.1 ramp up version with additional features.
Palo Suite is now available for download as 3.1 ramp up release with the new components and updated documentation. Palo Suite includes Palo Web (formerly known as Worksheet Server 3) with the ad hoc query component JPalo integrated. JPalo allows defining ad hoc queries on top of any Palo OLAP database. Intuitive slice and dice and drill downs with filtering are possible, as well as write back using splashing commands. Beside Palo User and OLAP modelling management, Palo ETL is also included in Palo Web, which offers seamless integration of all ETL processes through the new Web user interface. We will now work with selected clients on base o the ramp up version for further improvement. The next step than will be general availability. So volunteers for testing the ramp up are welcome.
Publishing the Palo 3.0 Service release 1 is our way of giving pre-Christmas gifts. I hope you do enjoy it. As it is my last blog for 2009, I’d like to wish my readers a merry Christmas and a happy 2010.
