Micro Focus Developer Kit

Transcription

1 data sheet Micro Focus Developer Kit Leverage existing host applications in creating new business solutions with our comprehensive development tools The Micro Focus Developer Kit is a comprehensive set of development tools that enables developers to easily extend existing host (mainframe, UNIX, iseries) applications into new business solutions. Using the Micro Focus Development Kit, companies can target the most critical challenges in existing business process without impacting entire systems, thereby reducing costs and risk while bringing rapid ROI. More importantly, the solutions created today can easily be leveraged when more features or changes are needed later. These new business solutions can increase productivity by shielding end users from the complexities of host access and navigation, as well as minimize training time. Features and Benefits Develop custom integration solutions with world-class host access development tools, components and services Create reusable web services /.NET / Java components from host-based processes while building a solid foundation for service-oriented architecture Integrate information from multiple host-based applications to create new web-based applications Leverage objects from RUMBA and OnWeb Web-to-Host products to create new business solutions Comprehensive development Package data sheet With your Micro Focus Developer Kit subscription you receive: RUMBA OFFICE development client Micro Focus OnWeb Web-to-Host development server and client Micro Focus OnWeb Server development tools Micro Focus OnWeb development servers (Windows, Linux and Solaris) ActiveX and Java host access controls (embedded in RUMBA OFFICE and Micro Focus OnWeb Web-to-Host clients) API documentation, utilities, and code samples Access to the Micro Focus Developer Kit resource website Comprehensive Micro Focus OneStep developer support contract

2 Take advantage of powerful integration capabilities The Micro Focus Developer Kit provides the tools that enable organizations to integrate their existing host-based business systems into new business processes and application without impacting the existing host applications business logic, security or data integrity. Desktop emulation, thin-client web emulation, zero-footprint web presentation, and integration component generation are all supported through the development toolkit. Enhancing host application usability using RUMBA customization. development and testing time. Events help developers streamline the synchronization process with host data streams, ensuring reliable interactions with host systems. Encapsulating host processes into ActiveX components lets developers reuse host automation in new applications, saving time and development resources. PDA with HTML-based mobile application created using Micro Focus OnWeb. Customize the emulation experience Nearly every RUMBA and Micro Focus OnWeb Web-to-Host feature/function is exposed as either a COM object or JavaBean. These objects encapsulate the logic required to access and exchange data with mainframe, iseries, and UNIX host systems. RUMBA development The RUMBA development client gives access to the underlying objects that make up RUMBA. Micro Focus component architecture allows developers to integrate the objects they need for specific custom applications. Each object is quickly customized (and reused) through documented events, methods, and properties, reducing Micro Focus OnWeb Web-to-Host development The Micro Focus OnWeb Web-to-Host development server and client give developers access to Web-to-Host ActiveX and Java controls. Since Web-to-Host uses the same technology as RUMBA, developers can use their existing RUMBA expertise to develop new Web-to-host based solutions. Micro Focus OnWeb development tools Micro Focus OnWeb provides unprecedented flexibility and deployment speed when pursuing host and integrationbased business initiatives. Micro Focus OnWeb enables organizations to easily transform host applications into next-generation web applications. Micro Focus OnWeb provides support for both Microsoft.NET and Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) development

3 frameworks, bridging the gap between mainframe and web technologies. Complement existing application server investment Micro Focus OnWeb is designed to complement existing application server platforms by running natively within most systems. Application servers currently supported include: IBM WebSphere, BEA WebLogic, Sun Application Server, JBoss, and Microsoft BizTalk. Host application re-facing Micro Focus OnWeb App Express is a simple-to-use, pointand-click configuration tool that enables developers to create web interfaces to existing mainframe or iseries applications in a matter of minutes. The existing business logic, security and data integrity is maintained and a web interface is delivered with zero coding. Existing host application interfaces can be enhanced using graphics, colors, navigation buttons, popup calendars and application navigation through mouse clicks. Micro Focus OnWeb Designer is a tool to automate screen navigation sequences and to combine information from multiple screens (or even multiple host systems or back-end applications) to reduce the complexity of the existing user interface. Micro Focus OnWeb Designer can make host Micro Focus OnWeb Designer development tool for web-based composite applications. applications accessible through different devices (browsers, PDAs, mobile, and others) from a single application without additional coding. Host application integration Micro Focus OnWeb Object Builder lets developers create reusable integration components that encapsulate business logic from existing host systems without making changes to the underlying business applications. Object Builder lets developers act like a user to encapsulate business logic on the host. This means developers do not have to be experts in any of the backend host systems they are connecting to. Object Builder even creates the code in a variety of formats for developers to literally drag and drop into their IDE projects. Supports both Java and.net development environment Micro Focus OnWeb Object Builder is tightly integrated into Microsoft Visual Studio, enabling.net developers to easily encapsulate existing host business functions as.net Assemblies, web services, or BizTalk schemas (for use with the Micro Focus OnWeb BizTalk adapter) and immediately leverage new components into Visual Studio projects. Micro Focus OnWeb Object Builder development tool for component generation and integration. Micro Focus OnWeb Object Builder also provides a plug-in into Eclipse, enabling Java developers to encapsulate existing host functionalities as Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB), JavaBeans, web services, and JSR 168-compliant portlets.

4 Micro Focus OnWeb development server The Micro Focus Developer Kit provides development servers for all supported platforms, enabling developers to build and test applications on the target platforms. Micro Focus OnWeb server supports Microsoft Windows Server 2000 and 2003, RedHat Linux Enterprise Edition, IBM AIX 5L, and Sun Solaris 8 and above. Extend solutions beyond host applications Micro Focus provides a comprehensive set of optional integration adapters that expose backend enterprise information system (EIS) functionality and data into any application server, web server or standalone environment. These adapters integrate functionality and data from various EISs (such as ERP and CRM, databases and middleware) to accelerate the creation of composite applications. Micro Focus Developer Kit resource website The Micro Focus Developer Kit resource site provides 24/7 access to ensure developers deploy projects on time. Micro Focus developers are continuously updating the website, providing new samples, documentation, and utilities to reduce development time. JavaScript, VBScript, C++, VB, HTML, DHTML, and ASP samples provide timesaving models from which to build custom applications.
