Cronacle PL/SQL API Module
The PL/SQL API module was added to allow to act as a compatibility layer for Redwood Server version 9.2.9 in order to support legacy Cronacle version 7 calls. Cronacle version 7 is Oracle-based and allows calls to PL/SQL packages, use Oracle objects such as tables and views directly. This functionality has now been ported to version 9.2.9 using the PL/SQL API module for which a specific license is required.
You use the 9.2.9 JDBC framework combined with the version 7 API implementation, which is not yet complete, to migrate your processes to version 9.2.9. The following chapter lists packages, views and their implementation status - some features have been permanently removed from version 9.2.9 and replaced with new implementations, other features have been improved upon. The migration to a mostly database-independent platform has caused some features to vanish, these are meant to be filled by this module.a
REL functions have been added to provide functionality used in preconditions.
