SOLA Components
SOLA Versions
SOLA now comes in three different configurations:
- SOLA 6.0 – Our “traditional” version, proven for two decades.
- SOLA 7.0/7.1 – Our newest java versions of the SOLA Run-Time.
These three versions give you complete flexibility to set up your environment in a way that best suits your needs today, and in the future, as you begin to modernize your mainframe program portfolio. All versions utilize the same patented metadata eliminating the need to recreate APIs as you move between architectures.
All versions now include an easy to use REST API designer enabling your APIs to be accessed as REST or SOAP, again using the same patented metadata.
Additionally, there are many enhancements to the product including new monitoring and logging features better suited to help you monitor and troubleshoot REST APIs.
