Business Logic Modeling

Focus on the core logic, not the interface

With SB/XA, developers can focus on modeling business logic with high-level tools and processes. Once business rules, defaults, and validations are defined, they’re reusable, ensuring consistency throughout the application. SB/XA’s rapid application development tools keep logic independent from design, so you can adapt interfaces without starting over.

Select from character-based, graphical, or mobile-friendly interfaces, without having to make changes to the application.

Customize layouts and styling for mandatory fields, help tips, and Outlook®-style menus.

Click-once deployment. CENTRALIZED CONTROL.

Deploy and secure applications with ease

SB/XA simplifies application deployment and security. With a single click, you can roll out updates and centralized configurations. When users start the application, they automatically get the latest upgrades and data access settings—removing the need to update each PC manually.

Create, import, or copy centralized configurations for data access.

Authenticate once for access to client, middle tier, and application server.

Choose from flexible authentication options, including Windows®, SB/XA, or domain-level security.

Protect data and processes at the group, user, process, or field level.

Multilingual Capabilities

It's easy to do more, faster

Rocket® UniVerse customers can take advantage of National Language Support to store data in many character sets. Together with multi-language translation, the application can be displayed in various languages without regard to the way the data is stored.
