Version Releases of AGROBASE Generation II®
Seed Inventory Module, February 2010
In February we were very pleased to announce the release of the first version of the much-anticipated seed inventory module. The module is available only with the SQL Server version of AGROBASE Generation II - another incentive to upgrade to the SQL version! This module creates seed lots from nurseries, experiments, or even just treatments, parents, and populations. You can handle multiple seed lots for any genotype, and use seed from any genotype's seed lots to allocate seed for a new experiment or nursery. You can merge, split, remove, add to, or create seed lots. Seed lot transactions are tracked for each seed lot. Reports and labels may be printed at many places in the seed inventory module. In addition, seed lot traits can be added and data imported into seed lot groups. For further information, including licensing details, please do contact us.
MS-SQL Server®, August 2009
We are pleased to announce the release of the newest version of AGROBASE Generation II with Microsoft's SQL Server® as the database, as of August 19. This much anticipated version will offer faster processing in the network environment, a more robust database and greater capacity. We will still be supporting and licensing the current Version 18, but for clients with larger data processing needs in a network environment, the new version in Microsoft SQL Server® is our recommended software solution.
Current clients with an AGROBASE Generation II LAN license can upgrade to the SQL Server version. For clients without SQL Server, the upgrade will come with Microsoft's free SQL Server Express. For clients with an existing SQL Server installation, the 2005 or later release is required. Furthermore, you must be using the most recent AGROBASE version 18.4.1 and your research groups (Generation II relational database) must all be updated to that version, before upgrading. The SQL Server version of AGROBASE has a Data Migration Tool to migrate data from AGROBASE version 18.4.1 research groups to new SQL Server database research groups. Any new software licenses purchased under version 18 can be upgraded to the SQL Server version with data migration into a SQL Server database at a future date.
To request this new version, please contact us at support@agronomix.com, providing your AGROBASE Generation II serial number. Before providing you with a link to download the installation files and the Data Migration Tool, we would like to confirm your current system’s operating environment.
