Empowering Your ClearPath Forward: ClearPath OS 2200 Release 19.0

ClearPath OS 2200 Release 19.0 is here!

The latest major release of the operating environment for ClearPath Forward® Dorado systems, OS 2200 19.0 delivers updates to a number of products – and includes 35 new features suggested by clients. And because all of the release’s 50-plus enhancements have been designed, developed, and qualified together, you can trust they’ll deliver the business-critical scalability, availability, recovery, security, agility, and interoperability your applications demand.

While there are exciting capabilities packed into every corner of OS 2200 19.0, perhaps the most noteworthy is the introduction of the all-new ClearPath® Extension Kit for OS 2200.

With the help of the Extension Kit, you’re now able to use Python and Java as standard supported languages within the OS 2200 environment. Not only does this give you greater flexibility in terms of how you extend existing applications – or create new ones – it also empowers you to cater to a wider pool of programming talent. By offering programmers access to the languages they favor, you’ll make it easier to supplement your team and support your organization’s workforce renewal efforts.

In addition to bringing Python and Java into the OS 2200 environment, you’re also able to use such standard Linux® tools as Bash, grep, and Make within OS 2200 batch and demand runs. And you’ll also have access to processors that bring industry-standard source control and repository systems – like Git and Subversion – into the environment, giving you new ways to augment your workflows.

But That’s Not All…

While certainly exciting, the Extension Kit is just one part of a much larger whole. To that end, OS 2200 19.0 also introduces:

• The flexibility to set and change the status of NIC interfaces – bringing them on and offline – without the need to cycle CPComm OS
• Performance improvements to Catalogued File Recovery, which can accelerate the process by up to 90% in some cases
• The ability to fine-tune which certificates are trusted on which applications
• A SOLAR selection verification window that shows after “F5 commit” is entered when installing or uninstalling products, registering keys and packages, and packaging installed products
• Support for DTPRA in a containerized environment
• Encrypted RSS file transfer
• Support for Microsoft® Windows Server® 2019
• Digital signing for code files
• EXPLAIN in stored procedures and triggers
• CIFS SMBv2 support
