Network Product Matrix

For each major current network and client system version that becomes generally available Revelation Software will conduct intensive benchmark testing with our OpenInsight, Advanced Revelation and Network products for functionality, data integrity and performance. The configurations listed within this matrix are supported environments. Revelation Software is no longer conducting benchmark tests for product versions below OpenInsight 9.x and Advanced Revelation 3.12.

OpenInsight 10

Universal Driver NUL 5.2 for OpenInsight 10 - This is a 64-bit server side installation for use with OpenInsight 10. The Universal Driver NUL 5.2 allows files from OpenInsight 10 and OpenInsight 9.4 to share the same Universal Driver. This version has been updated with the latest ACE libraries. Management of the Universal Driver is done via the OI Console.  When paired with OpenInsight 10.0.4 and above "child" processes launched from OpenInsight can be configured so that they do not consume additional license seats.

OpenInsight 9.4

OpenInsight 9.4 users who have the Universal Driver 4.7 or Universal Driver 4.7 NUL may upgrade to the Universal Driver NUL v5.2 for OpenInsight 9.4 for a fee of $1,075.00.  The Universal Driver 5.2 is a 64-bit product and is only supported on Windows 2008, 2012 and 2016 server platforms.

Universal Driver NUL 5.2 for OpenInsight 9.4 - This is a 64-bit server side installation for use with OpenInsight 9.4 and a 32-bit client side installation for use with OpenInsight 9.4. The Universal Driver NUL 5.2 allows files from OpenInsight 10 and OpenInsight 9.4 to share the same Universal Driver. This version has been updated with the latest ACE libraries. Management of the Universal Driver is done via the UD Manager.

Universal Driver NUL 5.1 for OpenInsight 9.4 - This is a 64-bit server side installation for use with OpenInsight 9.4 and a 32-bit client side installation for use with OpenInsight 9.4. The Universal Driver NUL 5.1 allows files from OpenInsight 10 and OpenInsight 9.4 to share the same Universal Driver. This version has been updated with the latest ACE libraries. Management of the Universal Driver is done via the UD Manager.

The UD 5.0.0.5 contains bug fixes, an improved UD manager, and a client installer which exposes more UD5 features.  A bug which caused a client to hang upon repeated toggling of the resize service is fixed. Version 5.0.0.5 supports passing REVPARAM information via a volume pointer or call to ATTACH_TABLE.  Some core system routines including RTP57, RTP49, FIX_LH and RTI_LH_INFO are updated. The UD client installer replaces the REVBOOT file and installs the UD_MANAGER and supporting components into your OpenInsight. With these changes, the UD manager displays lock and session details in a format of MACHINE*USER*PROCESSID.  This format lets you determine lock holders in a terminal server or O4W environment.  The UD manager window ( MANAGE_REVLH_SERVER ) provides access to sub windows displaying statistics, statistics history, size lock and remake table information.  It also resolves a long-standing issue with corrupted table header counts and sizes, and includes new options to disable or re-enable automatic resizing of tables.

The UD 4.7.2 is a minor upgrade from UD 4.7.  It resolves a significant issue with corrupted table header counts and sizes, a potential memory leak/overrun issue when running in 'debug output' or logging mode, and eliminates "hanging" when shutting down the service.  This should allow sites to terminate and restart the UD without requiring a server reboot.

OpenInsight Version 9.x

All OpenInsight 9.1 (and above) licenses ship with the Universal Driver NUL (Network User License) to provide complete networking support for small, medium, and large networks. To obtain your free copy of the Universal Driver NUL please contact your VAR or Revelation Software.  Older versions of the All Networks driver are not recommended for use with this version of OpenInsight.

OpenInsight Version 8.0.x

By default OpenInsight 8.x includes the All Networks Driver 1.5 and 2.1 drivers. Both drivers can be utilized with or without the LinearHash service. For performance and reliability reasons we recommend all multi-user systems run the Universal Driver 3.0+ which includes the LinearHash service. All other multi-user configurations are unsupported and no longer tested.

Advanced Revelation version 3.12

While Advanced Revelation 3.12 is past the end of life product support it is still supported as a client to the Universal Driver on several common server configurations.
