Database base module

Fully integrated central database

The crossbase software solution is based on a fully integrated central Oracle database and includes an Embedded Software License (ESL). This covers all data structures for the applications PIM, MAM and CMS with the rejections into printed and digital channels. Thus, each sales channel and market can be served from a single data source and an enormous simplification of work processes can be achieved.

Single sign-on (SSO) and cockpit functions

Single sign-on can be set up for fast and seamless work with the crossbase software. This allows users to open the crossbase applications without additional login. A cockpit is also available for monitoring automated processes and productions.

Unicode support

crossbase is based on the Unicode standard for data storage. This means that texts can be maintained in any language. Among others also in Asian languages, Arabic, Hebrew and Farsi.

Oracle Standard Edition

The database can be operated both on a physical and virtualized machine and is installed by crossbase. This license also includes the use of unlimited CPUs, installations and users. However, the Oracle database of crossbase may be used exclusively for operating the crossbase software. For further information on licensing, please refer to point 17 of the General Terms and Conditions.

Oracle Enterprise Edition

For very high performance requirements, the Enterprise Edition can be installed as an option. However, this is recommended for crossbase only when at least 16 CPU threads (8 cores) can be used and utilized. In addition, Data Guard can be used with this option to synchronize multiple databases.

Maintenance

If desired, crossbase can take over the maintenance of the database system. This includes the regular installation of updates and system checks (workloads, checking of log files, testing of the network connection and, if necessary, further individually coordinated checks).

Online backup with Recovery Manager

If the backup requirements are particularly extensive, online backup with Recovery Manager (RMAN) can be used as an option. For this purpose, the database is operated in archive log mode, which saves incremental changes (redo logs). This enables pinpoint recovery.
