RP Server

RP Server X2

RP Server X2 is a programmable development environment and functioning of SQL applications. The platform of the next generation, inheriting from the previous version architectural design and a method of storage of the code in a relational database, has fundamental differences — now the applied code which is not interpreted, and previously compiled is used by other SQL — the focused language of application programming X2 which meets all requirements imposed to modern high-level languages.

RP Server X2 Expres

RP Server X2 Express is completely free version of a product which main restrictions are lack of means of the organization of collective development and generation of license keys.

The main differences of the platform of RP Server X2 from the previous implementation of the platform of RP Server:

• The compiled X2 programming language having the built-in support of SQL
• Higher performance
• Strict syntax
• Static typification
• Support of arrays, structures, dynamic arrays
• Development environment
• Availability of the full debugger
• Existence of means of IntelliSense, more complete and authentic documentation
• Expanded line of tools
• More modern visual component library
• Other approaches to creation of user interfaces
• Unicode support

2020: Implementation of additional functionality for "BOSS-personnel officer"

On February 20, 2020 the BOSS. Personnel systems company provided additional functionality of a personnel management system and calculation of the earned payment the BOSS-personnel officer implemented on the platform of RP Server X2. Read more here.

2018: Announcement of RP Server X2

The BOSS. Personnel systems company together with the producer of work benches of development — Relational Programming company — in February, 2018 announced emergence of the next generation of the RP-Server platform. The newly created product carries the name RP Server X2.

In the whole RP Server — it is a programmable development environment and functioning of SQL applications. The platform is addressed to the developers of application programs, groups of programmers able to project databases and to create the high-loaded transaction systems based on the Microsoft SQL Server. For a number of domestic consumers work with the Russian ServerX2 RP platform is a factor of a certain risk minimization of total use of foreign technologies.

The environment of collective development RP DesignerX2 which is a part of the platform with instruments of visual design of the interface objects allows to create quickly from scratch productive software packages of any functional purpose which have all necessary user services of work with data at once.

ServerX2 RP platform and applications created with its help use Unicode that opens a possibility of language localization of systems created on X2.

In plans of BOSS. Personnel systems creation of functionalities of the systems BOSS-personnel officer and BOSS Company based on X2 already appears.

RP Server

RP Server is suitable for creating applications of level of the main enterprise information system and also rather small customized applications which are integrated with the ERP system and among themselves, for example, through the general database. For the enterprises which information systems are constructed on modularity (ERP in a combination to customized applications) RP Server is an excellent candidate for a role of the unified development tool of specialized business applications (use of such applications is often more reasonable, than infinite extension of functionality of the Enterprise resource planning and the accompanying fine tuning of business processes). Together with RP Designer development tool which is a part of the platform of RP Server as bonus demos examples, codes of the drawing products BOSS-PERSONNEL OFFICER and BOSS Company will be delivered. Afterwards products will be provided to community of developers as completely open solutions that will become a basis for fast mastering of the platform and creation of own functional covering of business challenges (fast start-up on expansions of the industrial applied systems).

The RP Server applications – it is initial open source applications, access rights to which are established by means of keys of license protection. Developers of RP-applications carry out generation and accounting of keys, their installation and activation at the clients using the built-in management tool licenses of the platform of RP Server. The mechanism of license protection of RP-applications allows developers or to create secure systems and to set them at the clients together with the key of license protection, or to develop the unprotected (shareware) applications, extending them by the principles.

Architecturally the platform of RP Server is executed in the form of four modules: RP Repository, RP Runtime, RP Designer, RP Key Generator. RP Repository is the server part of the platform located in Microsoft SQL Server base and intended for placement of the RP-applications making them RP objects and data. RP Runtime and RP Designer - means of execution and development of RP-applications. RP Key Generator is means of generation, installation and activation of keys of license protection of RP-applications.

The product is available in three editions: Express, Standard and Enterprise. RP Server Express is completely free version of a product which main restrictions are lack of means of the organization of collective development and generation of license keys. Editions Standard and Enterprise will differ with the versions of the Microsoft SQL Server which are included in the delivery - Standard and Enterprise respectively.

RP Server Express

The platform is intended for creating applications of level of the main enterprise information system and also rather small customized applications which are integrated with main system and among themselves, for example, through the general database. RP Server Express – completely free edition RP Server which is suitable for the independent developers and the small companies who are users of RP-applications (applications for RP Server). Basic purpose of edition – to give the chance to developers to try in operation the platform of development and execution of the RP Server applications and also to minimize investment risks on initial stages of developments.

The release of the final version of RP Server Express was preceded by the publication of the beta of a product. For February-March, 2011 the beta was downloaded more than 1000 times, from the end users and also acting and potential partners more than thirty notes and offers arrived.

2011: Start of sales

The Relational Programming company completed the work on commercial editions of the platform of RP Server - editions Standard and Enterprise. Official start date of sales of commercial editions RP Server – on April 14, 2011.

RP Server is intended for development of business applications, their license protection, customization and long-term maintenance.

The platform of RP Server – the name new to the market. At the same time, users of applications, written and functioning based on a product which we call "the platform of RP Server" today, hundreds of the largest enterprises and organizations of Russia and the neighboring countries are. Since 2005 the platform of RP Server is used by Microsoft developers as one of applications on which, since early stages, there is a testing and debugging of new versions of the Microsoft SQL Server (as a result, completely we will combine RP Server with all versions of the Microsoft SQL Server of the last years, including versions 2008 and 2008 of R2).

Actually, RP Server is new generation of the existing work benches on which the drawing products BOSS-PERSONNEL OFFICER are based (producer - BOSS. Personnel systems company) and the BOSS Company.

The work benches which entered into RP Server since 2005 are used by Microsoft developers for testing and debugging, since early stages, new versions of the Microsoft SQL Server. Users of applications, written and functioning on the basis of the tools which entered into RP Server hundreds of the largest enterprises and organizations of Russia and the neighboring countries are (including, among users the BOSS-personnel officer is 20% of the largest companies of the Russian Federation from the ratings of RAEX of TOP-100 and TOP-400, see PC Week No. 21, 6/8/2010).
