IBM Informix Genero
Informix Genero provides a range of built-in components to help you produce applications faster and smarter than ever before, enabling you to respond with greater agility to ever-changing market needs. The reusable frameworks available in Informix Genero can help you develop applications faster than with previous generations of development tools.
- Accelerate application deployment with easy-to-use graphical tools
- Reduce development costs and improve productivity by delivering applications for multiple platforms without having to recompile code
- Modernize existing 4GL applications by updating the user interface, adding web services, incorporating business graphics and integrating drag-and-drop functionality
- Create applications for today’s service-oriented architectures (SOAs); produce adaptable business services by facilitating effective communication among heterogeneous software assets
Design custom user interfaces:
Create and maintain portable user interfaces using simple, intuitive drag-and-drop actions. Place widgets, objects and containers in forms and then customize them.
Write business logic easily:
Write business logic in a straightforward, easy-to-learn programming language that incorporates SQL statements as language elements and defines user interactions in an abstract, platformindependent manner.
Tune application performance quickly:
Use the provided runtime profiler to quickly identify the “hot spots” in a project at the source-code level.
Simplify project management:
Access built-in project management tools that provide a convenient, collapsible hierarchy tree. Navigate to any project branch or file with a few simple mouse clicks. Gain the agility to bring new solutions to market when users need them.
Internationalize:
Localize strings and place them in files that are external to the main application so you can support user interfaces in multiple national languages while reducing the number of screens you need to develop and maintain.
