In a re­cent post we've an­nounced our end-to-end sup­port pro­gram. We are glad to be able to add Post­greSQL to the list of sup­port­ed JDBC ven­dors - thanks to and via our Post­greSQL sup­port part­ner 2ndQuad­rant.

We are go­ing through ex­cit­ing times here at Atomikos! To­day, we are pleased to an­nounce that we will be of­fer­ing sin­gle-point-of-con­tact, end-to-end sup­port across dif­fer­ent back-end sys­tems for the fol­low­ing data­base ven­dors:

• Or­a­cle
• DB2
• SQLServ­er
• Sy­base
• In­formix
• Post­greSQL via 2ndQuad­rant (added on June 30 2011)

...and the fol­low­ing queu­ing ven­dors:

• MQSeries
• Ac­tiveMQ
• Son­icMQ

This is an ini­tial list that will prob­a­bly grow over time (stay in touch to find out).

What does this mean? Well, it means that Atomikos can of­fer sup­port from the queue to the data­base and back again with­out you hav­ing to wor­ry about deal­ing with dif­fer­ent sup­port chan­nels.

This sup­port is op­tion­al and not in­clud­ed in the stan­dard sup­port sub­scrip­tion. Con­tact us to find out more...

Good news: we've fi­nal­ly re­leased our 3.7.0 re­lease, with im­proved per­for­mance as the main fo­cus. Although pre­vi­ous mile­stone builds have been re­leased on re­peat­ed oc­ca­sions, this is now the of­fi­cial 3.7.0 re­lease for both Trans­ac­tion­sEssen­tials (open source, not sup­port­ed) as well as Ex­tremeTrans­ac­tions (not open source, sub­scrip­tion-based avail­abil­i­ty, with sup­port).

To down­load, pro­ceed to our home­page.

As per our new poli­cies, the open source Trans­ac­tion­sEssen­tials prod­uct is now also avail­able via maven cen­tral - in­clud­ing clean poms, sources that match the bi­na­ries and all oth­er things that maven users de­serve...

Over the next months we will be work­ing with 2ndQuad­rant to im­prove the Post­gresql XA func­tion­al­i­ty and stream­line com­pat­i­bil­i­ty with Atomikos prod­ucts. Dur­ing this time, we will grad­u­al­ly elab­o­rate an XA com­pat­i­bil­i­ty test kit that will serve both as a test tool and a learn­ing suite for XA fea­tures in data­bas­es in gen­er­al.

In­ter­est­ed? Please con­tact us if you would like to get more de­tails, or if you want to con­tribute...

The 3.7.0M5 mile­stone re­leas­es are now on­line, avail­able via our home­page!
