  • CoralTree Delivers New GUI for Web Framework

    October 19, 2010 Alex Woodie

    CoralTree Systems will be showcasing the new GUI design tool for its Renaissance IBM i Web application development at the Power Shift event being held today in the U.K. The new GUI design tool builds off CoralTree’s recent adoption of the jQuery JavaScript library, and will allow developers to create Web interfaces by dragging and dropping user interface elements from a design palette.

    Renaissance is an IBM i Web application development framework that marries IBM‘s CGIDEV2 with modern Web application technology. The software, which is available for free under an open source license, builds on the robust RPG integration technology of CGIDEV2 by surrounding it with session management, security, logging, and other components that are necessary for building secure and manageable Web applications.

    CoralTree recently gave Renaissance a big shot in the arm when it added support for jQuery, the popular open source JavaScript library. Support for jQuery provided a foundation for building standards-based AJAX applications that are modern, modular, and responsive.

    With CoralTree’s new GUI design tool, a developer can create an interface for an IBM i Web application by dragging and dropping elements on the screen.

    The new Renaissance Graphical Designer (RGD) builds on the previous support for jQuery, and makes it easier for users to develop modern interfaces for Renaissance applications. RGD enables users to create screens by dragging and dropping icons from the palette and the application data repository, CoralTree says.

    “This latest addition to the Framework builds on the groundwork we completed earlier this year with the integration of jQuery,” says CoralTree technical director Kevin Turner. “We are hopeful that this new tool will encourage a new generation of users to embrace the Framework, and provide a quantum leap forwards in the ease with which RPG programmers can produce world class browser-fronted applications.”

    CoralTree will be demonstrating Renaissance at Power Shift, a one-day IBM i industry event being held today in Manchester, England. The event, which features 17 sessions from 12 speakers, is the “mega-event of the year,” says System iNetwork, which is co-sponsoring the event with the Northern iSeries User Group (NiSUG).

    Get More Out of Your IBM i

    With soaring costs, operational data is more critical than ever. IBM shops need faster, easier ways to distribute IBM applications-based data to users more efficiently, no matter where they are.

    The Problem:

    For Users, IBM Data Can Be Difficult to Get To

    IBM Applications generate reports as spooled files, originally designed to be printed. Often those reports are packed together with so much data it makes them difficult to read. Add to that hardcopy is a pain to distribute. User-friendly formats like Excel and PDF are better, offering sorting, searching, and easy portability but getting IBM reports into these formats can be tricky without the right tools.

    The Solution:

    IBM i Reports can easily be converted to easy to read and share formats like Excel and PDF and Delivered by Email

    Converting IBM i, iSeries, and AS400 reports into Excel and PDF is now a lot easier with SpoolFlex software by DRV Tech.  If you or your users are still doing this manually, think how much time is wasted dragging and reformatting to make a report readable. How much time would be saved if they were automatically formatted correctly and delivered to one or multiple recipients.

    SpoolFlex converts spooled files to Excel and PDF, automatically emailing them, and saving copies to network shared folders. SpoolFlex converts complex reports to Excel, removing unwanted headers, splitting large reports out for individual recipients, and delivering to users whether they are at the office or working from home.

    Watch our 2-minute video and see DRV’s powerful SpoolFlex software can solve your file conversion challenges.
