Im on Openedge V11.1. Business logic and application logic is already separated. So where do I start?

Hi All, Has anyone succeeded in modernizing a legacy application using Kendo UI? Did you have to rewrite your entire application or there is a way you can retain Progress ABL codes in the background while running Kendo UI in the frontend? Im considering Kendo UI but my worst fear is...

Many thanks JC. I have a starting point, will move on from there. Regards Zadock

Hi JC, Many thanks for your response. Once all the table are created, the field "code" should contain the name of the country as well. Later in my program, I want to call the temp-table "USA" that we have just created, and display the field "code" which in this case should display "USA" as...

Hi Everyone. I want to create a temp-table whose name should be based on records found in a table. For example: for each customer break by country. if first-of(Customer.Country) then do: create temp-table value(country). assign fields etc etc. end. The name to be given to the temp-table...

Hi Everyone, I want my users to be able to log into our application using the Windows stored IDs and Passwords. This should happen for every user who flags windows to remember his userID and password. Anyone who has ever tried this? Thanks in advance. Zadock

Hi All, Our system prompts for user ID and password then uses those credentials to connect to the database and hence run our application. I want to come up with a procedure of retrieving a user’s password incase he forgets. Ideally, the user should specify his user ID then I reset his password...

Hi All, Assuming I have a 5 user database running, and all the 5 users are active. If the 6th person tries logging into my application, I want the system to bring up an error that the system is fully logged in and so this 6th user should wait and log in later. How do I achieve this? Thanks in...

Many thanks all. Im now clear on the way forward. Regards Zadock

Hi All, I have two startup parameters -S and -H whose values should not be fixed. For example, User A uses host 10.10.10.20, User B uses 10.10.10.21. At the moment, I have to specify the IP addresses in the program which I find tedious since I have to compile the program everytime I make this...

Hi Tom, Your 1st and 2nd point is what I would like to achieve. As Tamhas has advised, I probably need to go for webclient since I hope it wont involve alot of 'overhauling' on my existing application to suit the technology. I dont seem to be able to get detailed documentations on where I...

I think since Im new on web technology, maybe we should go to the basics. How do we proceed to have our application sit on the web?

Hi All, We are on Openedge v11.1. We recently bought Appserver to enable our application run on the web. I have gone through the documentations we have and I dont seem to understand how to post our application on the web. We have downloaded tomcat v8 and when we add the examples from java onto...

Many thanks for your reply. I must admit I am not well conversant with the aspect of web enabling my application. It is the first time I am trying it out and any advice/ideas to help me out in regards to accessing data is most welcomed. I have an application server installed but I havent...

Our application is an HR System. Our end users are spread all over the country but the server sits in one central place. Ideally, i want an end user to be able to access all records while sitting at another branch.

We are web enabling our application and the advice I got was that we should at all costs avoid direct contact with the database except when saving a record or deleting. This is why we are loading the contents into the RAM, then run our application. May be you need to shed light on this just...

Hi Cringer, Yes, Im caching a table into a temp-table on the client's side. What is the best approach? Im on Openedge V11.1. Regards

Hi All, When loading data from a table whose database is sitting on a server onto a client machine using BUFFER COPY, it takes unnecessarily long. The table contains about 15000 records and it is taking approximately 3 minutes to load before my users can start using the system. Is there a...

Noted Tom and many thanks. All the best Zadock
