Welcome! Agenda - Wednesday ØIntroduction ØInstallation Tips ØNew Client Features ØNew Application Design Features ØInstalling Chart Director ØCreating Charts in APPX ØPlay Time!

Installation Tips ØSystem Administrators are NOT Designers. You must be granted application design rights before you can use Application Design l. If >1 System Administrator (not including ‘appx’), then another administrator must do it for you. l

Installation Tips ØIf upgrading from 4. 2. x, consider running in parallel. Copy entire APPX tree to another folder. l. Upgrade that folder. l. Use FMS groups to point to same data as 4. 2. x. l. Set up alternate port (ie, 8560) or alternate startup script. l

New Client Features ØOpen a new session anytime via Alt+F 1. ØUse new Scan button to save screen space. ØSingle Sign On (SSO) for Windows Servers. Both desktop and server managed by the same Active Directory controller l. Log into your desktop using your Active Directory account l

New Client Features The client property -use. SSO=true must be set either on the client command line or in the client preferences (under [Startup]). l. The appx. Login. Mgr must be configured with an Authentication Method of Win-SSO via AM=Win-SSO. l

New Client Features ØLoad client settings from an ‘ini’ file. Standardize all settings in one file l. Can be kept on a shared folder l add -ini. File=<path to ini file> to command line to create initial file, then customize. l ØJava Web Start is similar, but also updates client jar file.

New Client Features ØBetter control over window sizing/scaling resize. Main. Window. Pane dynamically resizes client window (up to max rows/cols). lmain. Window. Scroll. Pane adds scrollbars to client window luse. Main. Titlebar moves top line of image to titlebar, freeing space on image. l

New Client Features ØNew Client Behaviours: Add Mode does not clear scrolling screen. l. Select Access Path uses buttons. l ØOption, Tab and END keys can now be mapped via map. Option. Key, map. Tab. Key and map. End. Key. See http: //docs. oracle. com/javase/6/docs/api/jav a/awt/event/Key. Event. html for key names.

New Design Features ØCross Reference Literals ØCross Reference shows specific occurrences ØDrill Down Cross Reference ØAbility to Design Transfer Children ØVerify SET statement with group fields ØEnd User Selection can now be required ØScan for field names during Debug.

New Design Features ØOver 100 new API’s added Replace well known, ‘undocumented’ subroutines and add many new features l. Old routines will continue to run, but will not be enhanced or debugged (SEARCH AND REPLACE broken). l. Start using new API’s instead l

New Design Features ØUsing the new API’s: Wiki contains details http: //wiki. appx. com/wiki/bin/view/Main/APPXR untime. Subroutine. API l. Code can be copied/pasted from examples l. Return values always in a tokenized work field with same name l. Shared fields always PASSed first l. Parameters case In. Sens. ITIve l

New Design Features ØAPI Highlights: File Management Routines (copy, delete, move, create, restructure, etc) l. Timeout routines (take an action after x seconds). l. TEXT PARSE LINE to extract data. l. WIDGET routines l. Dynamic Hook Processes l

New Design Features ØAPI Highlights: Add/Chg/Del Users l. Run as a different user l. Reference fields indirectly via. UTIL FIELD GET/SET l. Write a subroutine via ILF (5. 2) l
