Embarcadero All-Access Client ReadMe

Welcome to Embarcadero® All-Access™ Client 1.0.3

All-Access Client Web Site | Embarcadero Technologies Home | Technical Support

Thank you for using Embarcadero All-Access Client, a comprehensive tool chest of award-winning, multi-platform Embarcadero products. All-Access Client enables you to access a wide range of applications from a single launch point, targeting the following roles:

Architects have access to design and modeling tools.
Developers involved in general application development, Web development, and database engineering have access to a wide range of tools for developing, testing, and tuning code.
DBAs can access tools to monitor, analyze, and manage database systems.

All-Access Client is offered in three different formats, or modes, in order to provide more flexibility and convenience for organizations who want to deploy the products offered in the suite:

Network Licensing mode indicates that the Client communicates with All-Access Server to run the available products.
Workstation mode indicates that the Client runs independent of All-Access Server.
USB mode indicates that the Client runs from a portable USB device, independent of All-Access Server. This is a temporary mode and has a fixed expiry date.

What's New in All-Access Client 1.0.3

Splash Screen Preview and Automatic Product Download

When you access a product from the Client interface that has not been downloaded from Embarcadero, a preview screen displays that product's interface and the application begins to download immediately. If you close the preview screen again, the product will continue to download in the background. This function is performed seamlessly and is provided to both demonstrate the application and begin download processes.

Interface Localization

The All-Access Client interface is now offered in four different languages: English, Japanese, German, and French. The displayed language can be changed in the interface via the Preferences panel.

Release Notes

System Requirements

All-Access Client is a Windows application with no significant requirements.

The products that are offered through the client have the same approximate memory and disk size footprints as products obtained outside of the All-Access tool set. For more detailed information on the requirements of each of these products, refer to the product documentation on an application-by-application basis.

Known Issues

Customers that want to install Interbase should download and run the installer outside of All-Access Client. This does not affect Interbase running in InstantOn mode, which can be launched from within the Client interface.
If you are connecting to an All-Access server, please use the version of the client bundled with the server. This version of the All-Access Client 1.0.3 is for standalone use, and will not allow you to connect to an All-Access Server.

The following table lists outstanding known issues for application downloads obtained via the Client.

Rapid SQL Developer
Rapid SQL Developer has the following known issues:

An error may occur when opening another application instance while the first instance is still open
On Vista, a "Java heap space" situation can arise in the InstantOn application when querying a table with a large number of records

ER/Studio Certain Help files (e.g. SAX Basic Help) cannot be launched from the InstantOn version of ER/Studio.

JBuilder
The JBuilder InstantOn application has the following known issues:

There is a performance degradation due to pending memory issues.
A virtualization error dialog is thrown on exit. Functionality is not affected.
The J Optimizer Agent Controller fails to register the process to be profiled and prompts for a restart of the controller. Anwering yes to the prompt, successfully restarts the agent controller and fixes the issue.

Interbase SMP
The Interbase SMP InstantOn application has the following known issues:

Launching the License Manager shows no licenses installed. This is because the License Manager tool works off of the InterBase/license directory where no license is installed. The All-Access Client installs the license to be "user locked" from where InterBase picks up at runtime.
Using the License Manager to add new licenses overrides existing licenses. This is because the default licensing works in "user" mode, whereas new licenses are added to the InterBase/license directory by the License Manager

DBArtisan
DBArtisan has the following known issues:

When first opening the z/OS tools dialog, an error message may come up regarding and inability to create the installation object. On systems with a previous installation of Rapid SQL, the Rapid SQL installation might start. Close the message and/or the installer and reopen the dialog.
When opening the details window for the Bottleneck Analysis in Performance Analyst for Oracle datasources, if Rapid SQL was previously installed, the installer might start, cancel it and re-open the details page.
