Pros: Out of the box Ultra Network Analyzer was very easy to learn and configure and use. It's monitoring features and accuracy is superb and it has a very good statistics and charts. The price for a single and site license is also a big selling point.

Cons: I was kind of disapointed that the UI was not as integrated as I normally like. You have to deal will lots of opened undockable windows. I hope GJPSoft will enhance the UI to be more integrated in up comming realeases.

I have made Ultra Network Analyzer an integral part of my software development and testing lifecycle. I would recommend checking out Ultra Network Analyzer.

I initially purchased RaidenFTPD to test my ftp client pbFtpClient. I needed an ftp server that could support: Standard FTP and FTP/S explicit and implicit AUTH TLS/SSL; OTP SKey On-Time-Password authentication; SSL Certificates and Private Keys. RaidenFTPD FTP Server does all this and much more. RaidenFTPD installed easily and worked perfectly. Servers, users and security setup and maintenance are easily configurable using the supplied wizards and maintenance screens. To put it simply, it’s easy to use, feature rich, and reliable.

One other item available from Team John Long that deserves mentioning is thier RaidenSKEY Active-X control for SKey One-Time-Password. Go to RaidenFTPD website under Articles RaidenFTPD programming you will find the link How to add S/KEY OTP support to my FTP client You can download the RaidenSKEY Active-X control from this article. I was able to add support for an ftp server otp- response to pbFtpClient with this wonderful control. The control's method for returning the skey for an otp server response is called GetOtpResult(). See the powerscript code below. Fig 4.

I've integrated RaidenSKEY Active-X control into the design of my FTP client and made RaidenFTPD FTP server an integral part of my development and testing life cycle. I would recommend checking out RaidenFTPD FTP Server and all of the Raiden professional server products.

The objects which were REX enabled opened correctly and displayed an Icon which when clicked opened REX. A runtime explorer displaying all classes for the enabled object. I was able to easily change properties and locations of the classes and also drilldown into the powerscript and change the code. I was really impressed with the code editor that ships with REX. Scintilla*, the free source code editing component first used to build SciTE*, a SCIntilla-based Text Editor. Copyright 1998-2003 by Neil Hodgson . I liked all of the code editing features built into REX especially being able to view the original code in comparison with the new changed code. REX displays OLD vs. NEW for all changes which leaves the developer in control always. All changes were written to a log file which could then be opened in the REX Ide which is a separate application that enables you to view your changes then apply only the changes you wish to be written to the PowerBuilder library. All of this, except of the powerscript changes, can also be done from a compiled REX enabled application.

I am still getting the hang of REX and exploring all of its features with the 30 day eval copy which is a fully functional version that expires to a free version after the eval period. But given its features and its runtime enabling capabilities I will most likely purchase the professional copy. I really like the concept of being enabled to run my application from the PB Ide or a compiled exe, finding out what doesn't work then use the runtime explorer to drilldown to the code or property and change it then review and apply the changes afterwards in a controlled environment. I believe Enable is working on the PowerScript limitation for compiled applications for a future release which should complete the product in my view. I recommend checking out Enable and Runtime Explorer. Enable and Runtime Explorer are trademarks of Enable Development LLP Copyright © 2007-2008 All rights reserved.
