cubeSavvy - stateless and localized

There are a couple of major components to this release. One of them is architecture-related, while the other is immediately visible in the user interface. Both of them will provide a solid base upon which to continue enhancing cubeSavvy. There are also a myriad of bug-fixes, as with any new version.
Prior to this release, I maintained a user’s Essbase connection the whole time they were logged in to cubeSavvy. This created issues when the Essbase session would time out. I’d always intended to modify cubeSavvy to be stateless, due to the scalability and portability benefits. Working out the best way took a little time, but I’m extremely happy with the results. Timeouts are a thing of the past! Sessions on the Essbase server are also minimized.
The other enhancement is visible right on the login page:
language selection






Russian is my second language. I’ve been speaking it for over 20 years now and actually have a BS degree in Russian Language and Literature (during which I studied in Russia for a year). Therefore, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the interest in cubeSavvy from Russia. To make it easier for these users, I’ve chosen Russian as the first language for which to add localization.
Русский – мой второй язык. Уже 20 лет как его учу. Поэтому я приятно удивлен интересом со стороны пользователей в России. Чтобы русскоговорящим было легче с ним обращаться, я решил перевести cubeSavvy на русский язык.
Как видно внизу, не все элементы переведены. Если будет спрос, тогда я все остальное переведу

In one table you can quickly see (and search/sort) the grid type (report script or mdx), application, database, calc script, assigned Shared Services groups, decimal places, and even the script behind the grid itself. Clicking on the grid on the left will populate the form on the right, where all the fields can be edited:

As always, you can download cubeSavvy here.
