Stable. Dependable. Versatile. Open. Easy to use. Cheap to run. The greatest transaction processing environment. Don't pretend you don't know what we're talking about. It's all right. We're in on the secret, too.

It hasn't always been easy to sing the praises of MPE in mixed company. But with Premier's OSCAR, you can finally show everyone the stuff that MPE is made of.

OSCAR's development, productivity and run-time management tools allow you to harvest, revitalize and indefinitely extend the useful life of legacy HP 3000 applications in:

1. New client/server development;
   
2. Real-time integration of applications - turnkey, ERPs, legacy or internet - on one or a combination of mid-range server platforms (e.g. MPE, UNIX, NT, AS/400)
   
3. Transformations - re-architecting, rejuvenation or objectification.
   

With the OSCAR Client/Server Workbench for MPE, companies can not only recapture their investments in legacy systems, but can better future-proof their systems and applications from inevitable technological change.

Supported Platforms

Development Clients: Windows 95, Windows NT. WWW Development Servers: Windows NT, HP-UX. Run-Time Clients: Windows 95, Windows NT, HP-UX, MPE, Solaris, AS/400. WWW Run-Time Servers: Windows NT, HP-UX, MPE, Solaris

OSCAR Security Object for C/S

Authorized use of Servers by Clients, this is not an easy layer of security to figure out. Premier has developed a special server application called the Security Object. This server acts as a companion to your business application, storing the list of services and linking them to valid users.

Users, the groups they belong too, and their logon/password information are stored in a database on an organizations host platform. Client applications (either directly or via the application server) validate themselves with the Security Object. The Security Object stores a pointer to each and every valid service that a client is authorized to use.

The Security Object provides a real-time set of APIs which allow for client and server applications a means to validate that a service request, for a given user, is valid thus providing a level of transaction based authorization often hard coded into each and every application.

The Security Object works with the Premier RPC for MPE/iX and the ActiveWorks Information Broker technology.
