EAServer 6.0 brings with it many new and exciting changes on a number of
fronts, not the least of which is its management console, EAServer Manager.
Many of the changes wrought in the console are simple byproducts of the
changes in the underlying server, so I won't delve into them. Instead I'll
deal with changes to the console itself, discussing the most notable ones and
hopefully giving you a good feel for what's in store.
EAServer Manager Changes
By far the biggest and most obvious change is that EAServer Manager is no
longer hosted in Sybase Central but in a Web-based framework. So rather than
starting Sybase Central (installing it first if it isn't already on the
client machine), the console can be accessed via a browser, typically at
http://machine-name:8000/console. Once logged in (remember to use
admin@system instead of jagadmin by default), you'll see the hie... (more)
Sybase's exciting new offering, WorkSpace, offers users an enormous amount of
functionality in a unified design and development environment. From
enterprise modeling, database development, Web application development,
services-oriented development and orchestration to mobile development, it

we mean by a service. The term service,... (more)
PowerJ, Sybase's Java/J2EE development tool, is reaching a new phase in its
evolution. With the soon-to-be-released PowerJ 4.0, the product has been
given both an external and internal overhaul, and is a much more usable tool

than earlier versions of PowerJ, and J2EE component developers will find many
new compelling features that will enhance their productivity.
General Usability Features
MDI Development Environment
Unlike many common development environments, prior versions of PowerJ had an
SDI development... (more)
If you consider EAServer's management GUI, Jaguar Manager (and Security
Manager), to be the product's face, then in 5.0 EAServer received a facelift.
After a couple of releases with only minor changes, 5.0 includes a number of
dramatic additions and changes to its management GUI, both internally and
externally significant. This article will address the most notable of these,
although there remains a lot more for the eager user to explore.
What You'll Notice Right Away
The first change you'll see is the way in which Jaguar Manager and Security
Manager are delivered. For starters, i... (more)
