  2. Agenda - Wednesday Introduction Installation Tips New Client Features New Application Design Features Installing Chart Director Creating Charts in APPX Play Time! Welcome!

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

  4. If upgrading from 4.2.x, consider running in parallel. Copy entire APPX tree to another folder. Upgrade that folder. Use FMS groups to point to same data as 4.2.x. Set up alternate port (ie, 8560) or alternate startup script. Installation Tips

  5. Open a new session anytime via Alt+F1. Use new Scan button to save screen space. Single Sign On (SSO) for Windows Servers. Both desktop and server managed by the same Active Directory controller Log into your desktop using your Active Directory account New Client Features

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

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

  8. Better control over window sizing/scaling resizeMainWindowPane dynamically resizes client window (up to max rows/cols). mainWindowScrollPane adds scrollbars to client window useMainTitlebar moves top line of image to titlebar, freeing space on image. New Client Features

  9. New Client Behaviours: Add Mode does not clear scrolling screen. Select Access Path uses buttons. Option, Tab and END keys can now be mapped via mapOptionKey, mapTabKey and mapEndKey. See http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/event/KeyEvent.html for key names. New Client Features

  10. Cross Reference Literals Cross Reference shows specific occurrences Drill Down Cross Reference Ability to Design Transfer Children Verify SET statement with group fields End User Selection can now be required Scan for field names during Debug. New Design Features

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

  12. Using the new API’s: Wiki contains details http://wiki.appx.com/wiki/bin/view/Main/APPXRuntimeSubroutineAPI Code can be copied/pasted from examples Return values always in a tokenized work field with same name Shared fields always PASSed first Parameters case InSensITIve New Design Features

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

  14. API Highlights: Add/Chg/Del Users Run as a different user Reference fields indirectly via .UTIL FIELD GET/SET Write a subroutine via ILF (5.2) New Design Features
