|
Support on clients possible: Processing results can be shown on the user interface of a client immediately. |
|
|
|
Deployment with modular updates: Formulas are part of the feature type and therefore deployed with modular updates |
|

|
Result stored in same feature: Result of a processing is modifying the original feature. |
|
|
|
Formulas based on observation data: Formulas can be based on any data in a single observation |
|
|
|
Formulas based on feature data and observation data of same feature |
|
|
|
Processing is performed as a job |
|
|
|
Deployment with new version of Redbex Application Server |

|
|
|
Can operate on multiple features, |
|
