Reality V15.2 Release Information

Caution

The Reality V15.2 release is delivered as a Service Pack, and as such all references to delivery DVD/ISOs require you to use the V15.1 delivery for new installs, followed by the installation of Service Pack #200 or above — refer to the NPS Reality website under Latest Product Updates. For existing V15.1 systems, you only need to load the Service Pack.

Reality is a software environment that supports multiple MultiValue SQL-enabled databases on a single host and includes a range of powerful utilities for building, managing and accessing the databases.

The release information in this document applies to Reality V15.2 for UNIX and Windows. Reality V15.2 adds new features and enhanced compatibility with similar database systems. Faults reported since the production release of Reality V15.1 have been resolved. See New features in Reality V15.2 and Fault Resolutions for more details.

Reality V15.2 is delivered as a Service Pack#200 to be loaded onto V15.1 systems. Please check the Reality website for details of a replacement V15.1 ISO/DVD image file.

Retirement notice

This version of the software supersedes all previously released versions. NPS policy is to withdraw support for previous versions six months after a new release. The relevant date for this software can be obtained from your Northgate Public Services representative or the Reality website.

Backwards compatibility

NPS attempts to make each new version of Reality fully backwards compatible with previous versions. However, fault resolutions and new features can, in some cases, result in changes to menus and prompts displayed by host and TCL utilities. Scripts which automate such utilities may therefore need to be reworked after upgrading or installing updates.

Deliverables
