  7. FROM: Warnock, Neil [NEIL.WARNOCK@ca.com] Dear All, re: CA World I have been asked to summarise the OpenROAD aspects of last week's CA World and to give an idea of the technical 'futures' that were discussed.  This is hard but here goes... OpenROAD DEMO STANDS We had five demonstration stands on which the following were being shown: a) Transforge. Before your very eyes you could watch an ABF application being transformed *without any manual intervention* into an OO partitioned OpenROAD application. 100% transformation like this is rare (YMMV) but I think that those who saw the input ABF system will agree that it was not exactly  trivial 4GL. b) The OpenIDE plug in concept was illustrated by a pseudo 3rd party plugin image being dropped into w4glapps directory. The developer workbench detected it and registered it for use as a regular editor/tool deployed from workbench. c) Userclass Model Editor.  This also demonstrated a prototype of the OpenIDE plugin - the UME is integrated into workench as a plugin editor.  UME is a physical userclass modeller using UML notation with hooks into the userclass editor. Printing, reporting and XML import/export were demonstrated. Customers were invited to bring their own exports for reverse engineering of userclasses into a model.

  8. Warnock, Neil continued d) System Class Diagramming Tool. A prototype of a tool for visualising the System Class Hierarchy, with drilldown into the online PDF documentation. d) ORLaunch. A prototype of the small footprint client was demonstrated. e) AppServer Client Technologies.  Multiple appserver clients were demonstrated simultaneously. These included Java, JSP, ASP, VBScript, Excel, Word, OpenROAD.A cellphone IIS client was also demonstrated. A C# and ASP.NET version of Meeting Point was also discussed. f) An Application Server farm and load balancing were demonstrated. Load was visualised through a dynamic Excel chart. In the OpenROAD lab room a server farm of 25 Windows boxes was available. g) HTTP/SOAP (XML) AppServer data transport prototype was demonstrated. h) A demonstration application consisting of a generic SQLinput-->XMLoutput convertor (via AppServer). i) Supastor - a demonstration application using a home made Excel plug-in (.xll) to drive AppServer to store datasets of cells in a common shared Ingres DB (via AppServer). j) ERIC (Excel Research IMA data Collector)  A demonstration application that performed  near real time IMA data collection and charting in Excel (via AppServer).  A browser client to this tool was also shown.

  9. Warnock, Neil continued : FUTURES DISCUSSED These were discussed on the WEC stands and in sessions such as the DAR Party and the Developer Panel. Too many to mention but here are a few.  Warning - these are subject to change.  If you are looking for firm commitment or don't want to know then please skip this section. 1) Potential Demo Pack Contents. We have approx 20 under consideration. Examples are:-Thin client deployment evaluation, New 4GL features,Tomcat/JSP Meeting Point evaluation,C# and ASP.NET Meeting Point evaluation,SPO logfile analyser, OpenIDE sample plugins,Client code generators, Various demo apps from CA World as described above 2) OpenIDE. We are building an open interface into workbench. This means that tools, utilities and editors can be replaced and added by CA with relative ease and possibly outside the major functional release timescales. When successful this interface may be published to selected third parties and ultimately to everyone.  Tools, editors and utilities that conform to the OpenIDE specification could possibly operate without modification in environments such as ODS and son-of-workbench. 3) Thin client deployment. See spiel about Demo Pack 2 in my earlier email today 4) New System Class Poster. It's coming. 5) Smartlook built into Runtime. Under investigation 6) Silent Installer, MSI and PIF packaging. SDO for Unix. 7) Automated Web Services, Portal and Wireless integration. Those who were present will also have seen details of many other research projects currently planned.  We are actively integrating OpenROAD into other CA products, both runtime products and upstream/downstream tools.
