About Sybase WorkSpace

Sybase WorkSpace makes design and development extraordinarily easy to buy, learn and use for the Sybase environment. Using industry-leading integrated model-driven design, visual development and task-based wizards, WorkSpace automates mundane tasks, freeing developers to concentrate on what’s important - business logic.

WorkSpace is a toolkit that integrates the most important design and development tools in an easy-to-use open source framework. Enterprise modeling, database development, data federation, Web application development, service-oriented development and orchestration all come together for a complete and flexible solution. This solution provides a single, consistent framework that facilitates the use of productivity features, graphical development styles, and automation to work through modeling, development, exploration, test, deployment, and debug cycles.

WorkSpace is built on the Eclipse framework, which is an open platform for tool integration. This allows you to work in a flexible, standards-based, and consistent environment. Sybase WorkSpace can co-exist with other plugins that you want to use.

Key Sybase WorkSpace features include:

Common interfaces, which mean a shorter learning curve.
As you become familiar with the wizard or editor for one service and move to developing another service, you are familiar not only with the wizard and editor, but also with the workflow.
A shared framework and tools that allow you to develop applications faster and to leverage tools and technology from many sources.
Work with a variety of applications, including Java, composite, event-driven, or data-driven services.
Integrated model-driven design, visual development, and task-based wizards and cheat sheets to guide developers.
A seamless unified environment that lets you move between the areas of Sybase WorkSpace, such as from developing and testing a service to modeling, or from monitoring to debugging, without major transitions.
You do not have to start new applications or move to a different server.
Service-based development, which can include both data and business logic in one unit.
Team development to streamline the development process.
Tools to create robust applications using compensation support, fault handling, real-time business activity monitoring, and clustering.
Tools for re-use of your work or others' work.
When you create a service, a connection profile, or a deployment profile, for example, you can save the work for reuse or share it with other members of your team. You can even publish your service to a public directory. Additionally, you can create deployment-independent packaging models that can be reused, which is especially time efficient when using multiple servers.
