Text Caravan Business Server is a multithreaded, 32-bit system and runs on OS/2 Warp and Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows 98 and Windows 95. It has the scalability and flexibility to meet the requirements of demanding applications. The Caravan Business Server engine consists of a web server, database engine, mail server and a dynamic interpreter, which processes the requests and executes the Caravan script embedded in HTML documents.
The Caravan script is an object-oriented approach to dealing with information and communication. It is possible to poll folders, open an FTP session, transfer objects between multiple Caravan Business Servers or schedule tasks using the Caravan script. Unlike other script-based systems, Caravan scripts are compiled for high performance and run directly from the cache.
The Caravan Business Server is tailored for webbased applications and is directly accessible using the Caravan script (an SQL like language). Caravan Business Server provides a search engine based technology for high performance searching and indexing.
Caravan Business Server objects can be converted to database records or HTML forms and can be stored, cached and transferred across systems.
Caravan Business Server combines all the 3 tiers of development, namely,
