Introduction to Javra IDE

With the rapidly growing market it is increasingly difficult to keep track and update technology, Javra IDE, a Progress based Application Development framework comes in handy here. Using Javra IDE, one can transform a simple outdated Progress website to the latest, up in the market HTML 5 based website in quick and simple steps. Javra IDE is a revolutionary software development tool that is used in conjunction with the Progress OpenEdge platform. One can also develop an application, so that it can be made available on different browsers and tablets. The possibilities are endless.

Javra IDE has many feature benefits that assists programmers in speeding up the development of any application based on Progress platform.

• Dynamic Menu Structure Menus and its corresponding programs are stored in the repository. Simply by adding a program in a menu and restarting the program the new program will be active. It is also possible to define menus that are visible within all programs.
• Authentication and Authorization Authentication and authorization can be easily managed in Javra IDE. For any application developed using Javra IDE, the application does not require the development of a separate security module, as they are already built into Javra IDE. However, if advanced security and authorization methods are needed, Javra IDE Rules enables plugging in Progress 4GL code for access control.
• Dynamic Validation When a program updates fields, Javra IDE is able to run automatic validation. Javra IDE locates the most suitable index and finds whether a specific field exists in another table with this index. This can be managed for all related fields of all programs without any programming activity. Dynamic Validation is enabled (or disabled) per field in the properties in Javra IDE Repository.
• Extensive Queries Every program created with Javra IDE will have an automatically generated standard filter. In the generated program, for every related field, a query screen can be opened by clicking the right mouse button. The query filter dynamically checks which index to use. The bottom line is that the programmer does not have to code separately for the standard filter. Query syntax checker assists the developer to check the validity of the query.
• Field-level Editing The dynamic approach enables logging of data changes at the field level. When a record is changed, Javra IDE automatically records the user id, date and time, old value, and new value.
• Integrated Batch Manager Javra IDE has the capability to run reports on application server in background mode and in the desired schedule. It offers a standard user interface enabling users to select where they want to run their reports. The reports that are run in the server can be added to a managed batch and Javra IDE batch manager stores the necessary report parameters.
