The ability to resize application windows and change style and size of fonts are the significant advantages of a GUI vs. a character-based interface. console for complete life-cycle management of legacy systems integration. The Attunity Connect Studio facilitates the design, configuration and management of adapters to legacy data sources and applications. With a market-leading level of ease of use, the Attunity Connect Studio enables enterprises to leverage their existing systems faster and with greater reuse. Key highlights of Attunity Connect 4.0 and the Attunity Connect Studio include: -- Integrated GUI for adapter life cycle activities - The new Attunity Studio offers a single GUI console for adapter configuration, metadata management and testing, and runtime management. The integrated GUI improves productivity by providing a single look and feel to various life cycle activities and enabling the user to switch and move seamlessly between one task and another, working with multiple heterogeneous platforms and legacy systems. -- Enterprise wide adapter configuration - the Attunity Connect Studio provides a Configuration Management console that enables to easily define and configure adapters throughout the enterprise from a single point of view. The Configuration Manager console facilitates large installations, improves productivity and system manageability. -- Wizard based metadata import for legacy adapters - the Attunity Connect Studio provides a Metadata Import console that automates the harvesting and translation of existing metadata such as COBOL COBOL: see programming language. COBOL in full Common Business-Oriented Language.
