Enhancements – Collection Capabilities

Data Roll up/summarization capability in TDL Collection – Group by/ Roll up

New collection attributes

Collection re-use, extraction and chaining support in TDL Collection

Another important enhancement is that a collection can now extract information from other col- lections including its sub-objects with the choice of method(s), filter(s) and sort-order.

Indexed or Searchable Collection on TDL defined keys

Integration Capabilities with HTTP-XML collection and Action-HTTP POST

Collection capability has been enhanced to gather live data from HTTP/web-service delivering XML. The entire XML is automatically now converted to TDL objects and is available in TDL reports as $ based methods. There is no need to access the data via specialized functions like $$XMLValue. Reports can be shown live from an HTTP server. Coupled with the new [OBJECT:] extensions and POST action you can also submit data back to the server almost operating Tally as a client to HTTP- XML web-services.

Collection Capabilities – Usage As Tables

A collection in TDL as we all understand can populate the data from a wide range of sources which are available as objects in the collection.

Dynamic Object support for HTTP-XML Information Interchange

Going further with the success of Tally 9 Release 2.0, this amazing major release of Tally will take the product flexibility, performance and volume handling capacity to greater heights. The under- lying philosophy of Tally has been to give our customers the best of speed and the latest technology with improved functionalities. We have incorporated major changes in the data processing capabilities to improve the overall performance and are proud to say that we have kept up this promise once again with the latest release.

The important features included in this release are as follows:

General Enhancements

• Size and Performance changes
  

Automatic caching based on system memory

Earlier, report generation involving large amount of data was always impeded by the problem of high memory usage. In Release 3.0, a new feature has been introduced to overcome this hurdle. The application now uses an automatic caching based on the memory of the system it is running on. This results in the usage of lesser memory even with higher data volumes.

Reports which were running out of memory or consuming large amount of virtual memory on a 2GB system, will now respond even on a 1GB system. This can be observed by generating a report say a day book containing 50,000 to 100,000 vouchers on a 512MB machine using the last major release as well as this release.

Faster Data Entry

The data entry speed has been considerably increased in scenarios where there are a large number of ‘Tracking numbers’ and ‘list of pending orders’. In other words, the time taken to make a single entry has been reduced due to the faster retrieval and display of tables for selection of tracking numbers and pending orders.

Application size reduction by three-fourth

A faster, powerful and a SMALLER Tally application! The application has been modified and restruc- tured to drastically reduce its size. The “exe” file of the application has been approximately re- duced to three-fourth the size when compared to earlier versions. To be more precise, it is reduced from 10.7 MB to 1.96 MB. This will result in faster installation, loading, and opening of the appli- cation, thereby enhancing the overall user experience.

Tally DATA SIZE Reduction

Tally data size has been reduced in this release. Tally 9 Release 3.0 will effectively reduce the data size up to 40%. This data size reduction will help in enhancing the overall performance of the ap- plication. Note: Data rewrite is mandatory in this release.

Performance

GST Analysis Report. - Performance of GST Analysis Report (Singapore) for a specific period has improved compared to Tally 7.2 and Tally 9 (earlier releases).

Bank Reconciliation Statement. - Performance of Bank Reconciliation statement for a specific period has improved compared to earlier releases of Tally 9.

I will post more Features on TDL on thsi website in coming Days
