Micro Focus ACU-GT® - Open Systems Compiler and Runtime System
Micro Focus ACU-GT helps to maximize business value while helping to reduce cost. ACU-GT is an advanced development and deployment system for helping reduce maintenance time and increasing application modernization and value.
Having the flexibility to deploy applicaions to all major platforms, means the Series 5 Accounting software, as a graphical application, can run on UNIX, Linux or Windows servers presenting users with a full Windows graphical interface on Windows PCs.
Micro Focus AcuServer® - File Access Server
Micro Focus AcuServer is a distributed file server providing secure and rapid access to Vision, sequential, relative, and object files on remote server machines. AcuServer addresses the twin issues of data integrity and performance in a TCP/IP network.
As a result, Series 5 Accounting software can be deployed over a multi-server network with all data residing on one server. Network traffic is reduced since file I/O is carried out on the server, but at the same time, providing full file and record locking facilities.
Micro Focus AcuConnect® - Thin Client DeploymentMicro Focus AcuConnect is a client/server solution that means the Series 5 Accounting software can be deployed in a distributed processing architecture or in a thin client architecture.
In a thin client architecture, only the user interface portion of the application runs on the client, a 32-bit Windows machine. The rest runs on a UNIX, Linux, VMS, or Windows server where data access is localized. Because only user interface commands are passed to the client, network overhead is minimized. As an added benefit, using thin-client, Series 5 can be deployed over the Internet.
Micro Focus AcuXDBC™ - ODBC/JDBC access to Series 5 accounting files data
AcuXDBC provides a simple solution to the challenges of extracting valuable data held in the Series 5 accounting systems' files. By exposing the locked data to industry standard ODBC and JDBC interfaces, standard business intelligence applications such as Microsoft Excel, SAP Business Objects, Crystal Reports, or other languages such a Visual Basic can access the data without the user even being aware they are dealing with ISAM data files.
Micro Focus Acu4GL® - Application data as a Relational Database
Micro Focus Acu4GL offers the power and flexibility of defining selected Series 5 accounting data files as an RDBMS. Without having to recode the Series 5 software applications using SQL, Acu4GL provides seamless access to Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server®, ODBC or DB2® databases.
