| Client with graphical configuration: |
The config button enables local configuration on running host with db.dragon application.
Scheduler, Synchronizer and Mail Parameters can be configured with own sub-menus by clicking on corresponding command.

| WAN parameter enhancements: |
|
Now it's possible to check WAN connections with a test routine and adapt the FAS (file access server) of db.dragon with corresponding parameters to reach the maximum throughput, by a given bandwidth.
See more details at WAN Accelerator

 |
| Auto Network Failure Reconnect: |
db.dragon detects network interruptions in background continuously.
If for example PRIMARY database isn't reachable from MIRROR host, ActivateAgent will be started shortly afterwards.
If this network interruption will be restored db.dragon detects healthy connection and will repeat normal execution (TA/RA).
So no interaction is needed by administrator!

| Enhanced Logging Cababilities: |
Logging has changed in general in comparison to earlier versions of db.dragon.
So separate logging classes has been defined to make different handling for file, mail and popup messages possible.
Different recipients can be realized for different failure classes with different content or details.
Mail settings can now changed with db.dragon client in graphical mode.

| New Framework with Plugin Technology: |
Plug-ins are structured bundles of code and/or data that contribute function to the system. Function can be contributed in the form of code libraries (Java classes with public [application program interfaces] APIs), platform extensions, or even documentation. Plug-ins can define extension points, well-defined places where other plug-ins can add functionality.
The key point to focus on is that plug-ins contribute function in a structured manner. They may provide a service such as logging or piece functionality available in the user interface (UI), such as an editor. Regardless of their function, all plug-ins are defined in the same structured way.
db.dragon V3.0 is based on the latest OSGi R4 specification!
