Question SAAS for Progress OpenEdge?

Hello!

Is there possible and/or does Progress support SAAS built for their clients?

For example, an API to process some third-party complex/tedious information like to issue an invoice through different government requirements.

Another example would be a web-based panel to auto-manage data dictionary, structure file and database configuration to improve performance depending on project or usage metrics.

I am concerned about privacy and security compliance but I would like to hear about Progress possition specially in the second example.

People certainly do things like your first example, although they also write them in ABL too.

As for your second example, while it might be possible, I question writing the tools to manage the application in any form other than what Progress supplies. Only with Progress tools will you have the latest bug fixes and features.

It might help if you told us a bit about the application and what motivates your query.

There are SaaS-bsaed OpenEdge applications. You can read about database multi-tenancy in the documentation. As for security and privacy, those can mean many things to different people, so some detail is needed. As always, your options will be better if you use the latest release and commit to staying current after that.

Thanks for your responses.

Going with the second example, I have an ML powered DB analyzer which is built in Python. At this moment, it is installed in the same host as Progress. But I am interested in move it to the cloud so it is more accessible from anywhere.

The reason of Python is mainly because of ML logic and also I found the need to support many Progress versions in diverse environments. So, in this last reason, I found really easier to snippet "query strings" and write them in a file.p then run it with mpro, rather than a dynamic query in each version or something else.

Let me know if there's an easiest way to do this.

Anyway, the only issue I found is that Progress could complain about the requirement of their clients exposing databases to a third-party "non-official" solution.
