The Janus and Sirius Debuggers

The Janus Debugger is a tool designed for software developers who create and maintain Janus Web Server applications. The Sirius Debugger by contrast is designed to debug classical screen-based 3270 applications as well as batch applications. Both of these debuggers share a common GUI-based client. The two debuggers are tightly integrated with Model 204 and the Sirius Mods, supporting the Object-Oriented contructs provided by the Janus middleware.

Product News

Build 52 of the Janus/Sirius Debugger Client was released in August of 2010. Recent enhancements to the debugger client include better suport for multiple monitors, and better integration with existing proxy servers when the 'Automatically Maintain IE Proxy Settings' preference is selected. Please note that since Build 51, the client requires the .NET 3.5 SP1 runtime.

Version 7.7 of the Sirius Mods was released in March of 2010, building upon the Unicode support delivered in prior versions. Version 7.7 continues the trend of using XmlDoc objects to support high-level APIs. A “record to XmlDoc” method provides a high-performance mechanism to export data from Model 204 records. A corresponding “XmlDoc to record” method enables a robust facility for copying records between Model 204 files as well as among onlines. Version 7.7 also enhances the Private Key Infrastructure (PKI) support in the Janus middleware, including a facelift for the Janus Network Security Reference Manual.

SirAud Version 1.05 was released in December of 2009. Version 1.05 supports merged journals and z/OS “large datasets”. Additional reporting options include the ability to sort procedure displays by procedure name or total screens. Version 1.05 is compatible with current Model 204 releases, including V6R1, V7R1, and several limited distribution versions. This will be the last standalone version of SirAud; Future versions will use a system class within the Sirius Mods to produce XmlDoc aggregations that are processed into reports via User Language.

Version 7.6 of the Sirius Mods was released in November of 2009, essentially completing the foundation for Unicode support within Janus. XmlDoc string values are internally stored as Unicode (as required by the XML standard), entity support allows Unicode characters to be conveniently printed or displayed in EBCDIC environments, additional Unicode intrinsic methods are provided, and a UnicodeNamedArrayList class supports pure Unicode applications. Version 7.6 also delivers a SAX-style stream XML parser for those applications interested in only a small sub-tree of a large XML document. The addition of methods as first-class objects and method variables has enabled a pair of uniquely elegant and powerful facilities for sorting and searching collections of objects. And SirFact dump processing has been brought back in sync with all of the new O-O features.
