  • JD Edwards Gets 57 New Mobile Apps

    September 9, 2014 Alex Woodie

    You’ve heard of ’57 Chevys and Heinz 57. Now Oracle is taking a whack at the number by delivering 57 new mobile apps for the JD Edwards ERP system.

    As you might expect, the new mobile apps that Oracle unveiled in late July work only with the EnterpriseOne ERP system. While the company two years ago said they were evaluating the creation of mobile apps for World, which runs only on the IBM i OS, it has yet to deliver any. EnterpriseOne, of course, runs on IBM i, Linux, and Unix OSes.

    New app areas include: Asset Lifecycle Management, Service Management, Case Management, Health and Safety Incident Management, Financial Management, Contact Lookups, Project Management, Order Management, Supply Chain Management, and Supply Chain Execution. These go along with previously disclosed app areas, such as Expense Management, Requisition Self Service Approval, Purchase Order Approval, and Sales Inquiry.

    The Oracle apps seem to go on forever on the Google Play store.

    The new apps run natively on Android and iOS, and feature tight integration with the cameras and other services available on the devices. The apps are based on the Oracle Mobile Application Framework, which it says accelerates and simplifies mobile development and ensures end-to-end encryption and security.

    Unlike earlier mobile apps for EnterpriseOne, which cost upwards of $600, the new apps are free. They’re available for download from the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.

    Organizations increasingly are turning to mobile apps to accelerate business execution and realize new operational efficiencies, says Lyle Ekdahl, senior vice president general manager for Oracle’s JD Edwards group. The new mobile apps “give users anytime, anywhere access to the key business applications they need to do their jobs,” he says. “These easy-to-use applications help make organizations more nimble by increasing workforce efficiency and allowing employees to move more quickly.”

    When it comes to consuming web APIs on your IBM i, your options often boil down to one of two things:

    First, you end up having to rely on a variety of open source and non-RPG solutions. This adds developer complexity, taking away time that could have been better spent invested in other projects. Of course, open source software is free, but generally comes at the cost of no professional support, which adds an element of risk in your production environment. RXS is completely professionally supported, and is complemented by a staff of trained IBM i developers who can address your nuanced development challenges, head on.

    Second, if you choose not to pursue an open-source solution, you’re often left having to shake up your current program architecture with proprietary software, external dependencies, and partial RPG implementations – many of which are sub-par compared to RPG-XML Suite’s wide range of features. RXS aims to simplify the efforts of developers with tools like code generators, useful commands, and subprocedures written in 100% RPG – no Java. Because they are entirely RPG, the RXS subprocedures are easy to add to new or existing ILE programs and architecture, helping to cut your development time. RPG-XML Suite offers powerful capabilities in an accessible, easy-to-implement format.

    With RPG-XML Suite, you can accomplish a variety of complex tasks, such as:

    • Calling REST and SOAP web services from your IBM i
    • Offering APIs from your IBM i
    • Creating JSON & XML
    • Parsing JSON & XML
    • Text manipulation, Base64 encoding/decoding, CCSID handling, hashing and encryption functions, and more.

    To try RXS for yourself, we recommend a free proof of concept, which not only gives you access to all of RPG-XML Suite’s subprocedures and utilities but also includes a tailor-made software demonstration that can be used as a starting point for your future API implementations.

    For a free proof of concept, contact us at sales@krengeltech.com, or visit our website for more information.
