Introduction to PROIV Developer |
DEVELOPER |
 |
PROIV Developer is an advanced development environment that allows you to rapidly build all aspects of business applications (including forms, reports and database updates), whether simple or complex, without recourse to 3rd Generation Languages.
PROIV Developer provides several different developer views, that allow you to quickly focus on a specific aspect of the function you are developing. For example: the Structure view gives you a complete, outline picture of all the cycles in the function, the Events view shows you all the available process points within a function and the Linkage view shows you all the functions that call, or are called by, the current function.
When you have opened a function for edit, the structure of that function is retained in memory for the current session. You can therefore execute other functions and then return to PROIV Developer with the same function and view presented; there is no need to re-select and reopen the function.
PROIV Developer provides source control in a multi-user environment. Before you can work on a function, you must book it out to an active project. You cannot work on a function that is already booked out to another user. PROIV Developer provides a booking audit history for all functions. Files, Global Logics and Tasks are also managed by this booking system.
The PROIV Developer toolbar is available from all developer views, so that backup/restore facilities and options to build and execute functions are only one click away.
