The new SE Suite installation process required changes in the corresponding documentation, which, as well as installation tools, went through some improvements aiming at maximizing installation process quality.

The changes made in this new version include:

- Standardization: Document follows international standards used by renown companies, thereby those people familiar with technical documentation will face no difficulties in understanding the whole process.

- Language unification: Document in the English language, avoiding translation problems in the languages where document is distributed.

- New visual identity: New Installation Guide follows the standard created for documentations by SoftExpert marketing team.

- New layout: Installation Guide layout was recreated and adjusted to provide users with a better understanding and visualization.

- New topics for Troubleshooting: Categorized by incidence place, they help the executor identify and solve problems that may occur during installation execution, through a fast and efficient way.

- New typography: A new typography was created to meet documentation new standard. Typography helps in the identification of information on procedures, mainly.

- More content: Section that describes environment preparation and installation prerequisites was improved, and it now details more information.

- More Effectiveness: Installation process will be successful if it has been properly planned and analyzed. It is also necessary that all requirements are completely understood and the environment is prepared according to what was planned.

The Environment Validation team started, in July, DBMS (Database Management System) PosgreSQL validation process, which will be one more DBMS free option for installing ISOSYSYTEM.

Several tests will be performed, aiming at verifying if the tool meets predefined requirements. The expectation is that it will become an option to replace firebird, which has been showing some limitations due to ISOSYSTEM complexities. The limitations include:

-Data limit.
-Frequently corruption of database with large volume of Data.
-Low performance.
-Multilanguage limitations.

The change is focused on offering a reliable and robust database, which performance is equivalent to the best DBMS available on the market.

PostgreSQL is a fully-featured and free database. Its structure and architecture are similar to Oracle. Initially, it will be validated to those Operating Systems released for ISOSYSTEM. The following aspects will be analyzed: performance, data volume, reliability, information security, data structure and multilanguage support.

Besides validation in released Operating Systems, PostgreSQL will be tested and compared to other DBMS, such as SQL Server and Oracle, in Sizing tests. We hope that PostgreSQL performance is similar to both DBMS, thereby being a great option even for big customers.

At the end of this validation process, a Technical Report will be issued so as to verify if PostgreSQL has met expectations. In case of a positive answer, product adequacy will take place.
