Available Flavors / Emulations
The following is a list of the flavors (or emulations) that are accepted by Caché. The emulation setting for an account can be changed via the CEMU command.
| Flavor | Interpretation |

| CACHE | Our own Caché mode — the default if no emulation is specified |
| D3 | D3 mode — D3 is the latest incarnation of Pick |
| DEFAULT | Synonym for CACHE |
| IN2 | Intertechnique mode |
| INFORMATION | Synonym for PRIME |
| JBASE | jBASE Ideal mode |
| MVBASE | MV Base, a GA system now owned by Raining Data |
| PICK | The UniVerse implementation of PICK. Very similar to standard PICK, with minor differences |
| PIOPEN | PI/Open |
| PRIME | The basis for UniVerse and UniData, but is subtly different |
| R83 | Original Pick R83 mode to which many applications are programmed |
| POWER95 | Reality R95 - R83 plus a number of enhancements |
| REALITY | Reality Operating System |
| UDPICK | UniData running in Pick mode |
| ULTIMATE | Ultimate Pick and Ult+ |

While all of these flavors are accepted, InterSystems recommends that you use the Caché version, if possible. Flavor-dependent behavior for commands, functions and so on, has been most completely implemented for UNIVERSE and JBASE.
InterSystems has been focused most tightly on supporting the flavors listed above. If you are porting to Caché from a MultiValue implementation which is not one of those listed, you may find that commands, options, conversion codes, and so on specific to your MultiValue dialect are not supported. In these instances, InterSystems recommends that you replace them with equivalents from one of the supported flavors.
