New Features in 5.1

Sybase Event Stream Processor 5.1 introduces new features, new adapters, a new management and administration tool, and performance enhancements.

• CCL
  Continuous Computation Language (CCL) is the primary event processing language of Sybase® Event Stream Processor.
• ESP Studio
  Event Stream Processor Studio provides visual and textual authoring capabilities as well as a run-test environment. This enables you to develop, test, and configure projects in a common interface.
• Project Configuration
  Event Stream Processor project configuration separates physical deployment elements from business logic.
• Monitor and Administer Event Stream Processor
  Event Stream Processor includes an operational console, Sybase Control Center (SCC), that you can use to monitor and administer ESP nodes.
• Adapters
  In addition to the full set of adapters provided in version 5.0, Event Stream Processor 5.1 includes support for two new adapters.
• Reporting Infrastructure
  Event Stream Processor infrastructure enhancements make it possible to read adapter statistics, adapter latency, CPU usage and more from metadata streams. SDK enhancements also make it possible to determine TCP packet sizes to determine how much room is available when sending messages from the SDK.
• Security
  Security in Event Stream Processor is improved by requiring authentication for all connections to clusters.
• PowerDesigner Extensions for Event Stream Processor
  Sybase PowerDesigner® is a tool for creating and manipulating schema definitions which can be used within Sybase Event Stream Processor. Integrated modeling supports efficient schema definition and database design, and consistent production deployments.
