The Rocket MV team is pleased to announce the release of Rocket UniData 8.3.2 and Rocket MultiValue Performance Experience (MVX: Performance) 1.10 on April 25th, 2024.
UniData 8.3.2 is the first UniData release certified with the Rocket MultiValue Performance Experience (MVX: Performance) 1.10, which is available for our customers on maintenance. MVX: Performance monitors the performance of your UniData server and provides DBAs or developers with a better way to track down issues. It determines the root cause of issues, including the server, the operating system, the hardware, or a combination. DBAs can easily receive alerts when over 40 performance monitoring events occur, so constant monitoring is not required. In addition, UniData 8.3.2 and MVX: Performance 1.10 provide you with an enhanced replication experience, bolstering High Availability and Disaster Recovery (HA/DR) capabilities.
UniData 8.3.2 extends the security features introduced in UniData 8.3.1, which included:
- Enhancements and bug fixes that help you manage your replication environment more effectively — important for High Availability/Disaster Recovery.
- Security upgrades and enhancements to help keep your applications and business safe and compliant. By upgrading to OpenSSL v3.0, UniData 8.3.1+ supports a wide array of protocol levels. OpenSSL 3.0 includes a major architectural change from OpenSSL 1.1 and brings with it enhanced security features.
- The version of Python we include in 8.3.1+, Python 3.11, includes the Python OpenSSL extension, meaning it no longer depends on UniData’s built-in OpenSSL version. Like other third-party libraries, the Python OpenSSL extension now relies on the OpenSSL version provided by the operating system.
Regarding HA/DR, MVX: Performance 1.10 provides a replication monitoring feature which greatly improves the display from XAdmin by providing:
- a statistical summary display of multiple distributions
- identification of LSNs causing subscribing group(s) to stop processing
- trend information on pacing
- time behind
- time to catch up
- replication events and notifications
- replication responsive charts with historical data showing concurrency trends and estimated time to catch up
