Actian releases Pervasive 12: first look The latest version of Pervasive (informally 'Btrieve') was released on or about December 17, 2014. The installation default group now is Actian PSQL 12 rather than Pervasive. Actian is offering for free (but as a separate download) its 'Actian Analytics Platform for PSQL.'

Postings here will focus mainly on Advanced Accounting software updates, tips, and related topics. They will also include general comments relating to troubleshooting PC/Windows/network problems and may also include reference to our other software products and projects including any of our various utilities, or to the TAS Premier programming language. We considered setting up separate blogs for different topics so that users/others could subscribe to topics mostly aligned with their interests, but decided that it would be better to keep things simple since some topics cross over into others. We would nonetheless welcome your feedback/input in this regard.

Hardware requirements are the same for both versions 11 and 12. It is expected that product support and updates for version 11 will continue until June 30, 2015. There is currently no rush for existing users to migrate to version 12. It will primarily be of interest for new users, users who are on older versions and especially pre-v10 systems who will now likely want to migrate to v12 rather than v11, and users who need to expand their license counts.

One feature of the new version is an interesting defragmenter that can be run while the files are open (see screen shot at end). Other currently outlined features may be of little to no benefit for existing v11 users.

First look: As an initial test, we installed the workgroup engine on a desktop Windows 7 PC (32-bit O/S, SP1) and also on an ASUS Transformer Book running Windows 8.1 (32-bit version). Both installations went very smoothly, and with no issues. The workgroup engine can be installed as an application or as a service. Most users will want to install as a service.

We installed one as a service, and one as an application. In both cases (and has been our experience with essentially all prior Pervasive installations since version 7), both PC's had to be re-booted before our test applications would run (the installation does not tell the end user however that a re-boot is necessary, but this is something we have routinely advised). After re-booting and after some initial testing with two completely different applications running on each of the PC's, they both appear to be working exactly as expected and as they have with prior versions of Pervasive/Btrieve. On one of the test PC's, we noticed something different than in the past: the presence of an older Btrieve 6.15 engine in the application folder did not create a problem with the Pervasive 12 engine running. And in fact, we were able to run one application using Pervasive v12 and another application using Btrieve 6.15 at the same time. This previously has not been possible.

The installation default group now is Actian PSQL 12 rather than Pervasive. Installed Pervasive tools such as the License Administrator, Gateway Locator and Rebuild look substantially similar as does the Pervasive Control Center (PCC). User data files will not have to be rebuilt, and the 'highest' Pervasive internal file format remains at 9.5 as it has since the Pervasive 9.x series. Unfortunately Pervasive v12 continues to by default enable limiting data file sizes to 2GB before they 'segment' which was a limitation imposed by Windows NT but which has not been an issue in newer Windows operating systems. Segmented data files cause various potential problems including how multi-company file naming extensions are deployed within TAS-based systems as well as can create potential backup, data integrity, reindex, manual file deletion/renaming and other file handling issues, and therefore is not supported.
