General Information

Introducing Magic Software’s uniPaaS V1.9 We are delighted to announce the launch of a new release of Magic Software’s uniPaaS SaaS-Enabled Application Platform. uniPaaS allows organizations to quickly and cost effectively enjoy all the benefits of Rich Internet Applications (RIA) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications, whether on-premise, or on-demand. Based upon a unique, unitary development paradigm, uniPaaS gives the power to quickly develop, enhance, and deploy business applications under multiple deployment models and at a fraction of the cost and time compared to conventional .NET or Java environments.

Further Enhancing the Platform uniPaaS V1.9 introduces many new features and fixes. These new features enable you to accelerate application development and to produce more sophisticated and manageable business applications. This long list is added to the continuous effort of optimizing and proofing the product by addressing and fixing customer and internal reported problems.

Improving Client/Server to RIA Conversion Some of the new features in this release are intended to significantly reduce the effort required to turn your existing client/server applications into RIA.

Continued Platform Support and Compatibility uniPaaS was tested and is confirmed to be compatible with Windows 7 32-bit and Windows Server 2008 64-bit operating systems. For more information about the various platforms on which uniPaaS V1.9 has been checked for operation by Magic Software Enterprises, refer to the Compatibility Guide.pdf file provided with this installation.

.NET Integration As of uniPaaS V1.8, you can enhance your offering by easily embedding and integrating any .NET control or assembly. You can upgrade the look and feel of your Rich Internet Application by directly placing new .NET controls into your RIA user interface. You can also enhance the functionality of your RIA by integrating any .NET assembly. To use the .NET functionality, you need to have .NET framework V2.0 SP1 (or above) installed on your machine. You can install it by running the NetFx20SP1_x86.exe file in the Scripts\RIA folder. For more information on how to add and manipulate .NET modules, see the sample available at: http://kb.magicsoftware.com/article.aspx?article=1959&p=5.

Mobile Device Support Expand your IT offering by supporting mobile devices alongside stationary desktops. With the same high productivity of development and by keeping your own expertise in developing uniPaaS applications you can now easily produce highly interactive mobile applications and quickly expand your internal systems to serve the mobile workforce.

uniPaaS Web Page Make sure to visit our uniPaaS Web page, where you can view and download various documents.

uniPaaS Licensing In addition to the new unitary development and deployment paradigm for RIA and SaaS, uniPaaS also supports any previous Magic Software editions and forms of development and deployment. However, in order to maintain your former development and deployment capabilities, you need to obtain new uniPaaS licenses that reflect your current eDeveloper V10 licenses. To obtain uniPaaS licenses, please contact your local Magic Software representative.

Migrating from eDeveloper V10.1 to uniPaaS Migrating an eDeveloper V10.1 application to uniPaaS is quite straightforward and no explicit migration procedure is required. You can directly access and open eDeveloper V10 applications from the uniPaaS Studio and Runtime engines. Migrating from eDeveloper V9.4 to uniPaaS Migrating an eDeveloper V9.4 application to uniPaaS is fast and easy. uniPaaS provides a collection of wizards to easily migrate your application, INI settings, and interface builder data. In the Migration subfolder of the product, located in the Start menu of your desktop, you will find a shortcut to each of the available conversion wizards. We recommend reading the Migration chapter in the uniPaaS Help before migrating your eDeveloper V9.4 applications.

Bundled Products uniPaaS comes with the following bundled products:

• Limited version of DB2 Express – limited to 3 months

• Version Control Client – Jalindi Igloo

• The Magic Optimizer

• The Record Main Converter

The Magic Optimizer Magic Software is happy to introduce Ocean Solutions’s complementary utility – the Magic Optimizer. The Magic Optimizer provides extended query and analysis capabilities for any uniPaaS application. This version of the Magic Optimizer provides a fully operational documentation feature, and a limited evaluation version of the remaining features. To obtain a fully operational license of the Magic Optimizer, please contact Ocean Solutions at [email protected]. From Record Main Based to Event Driven Applications Turn your applications into fully event driven by utilizing the new Record Main Converter utility. The Record Main Converter utility locates all of the Record Main based logic of a uniPaaS application and automatically and fully converts it to event based logic while keeping the entire functionality of the application intact. Making your applications completely event driven enables you to utilize new features, such as Subforms and Explicit Tabbing order of controls that are not available in tasks that have the Record Main Compatible logic unit. But most importantly, this conversion brings your application one big leap forward towards turning the application into a Rich Internet Application (RIA), allowing you to start and benefit from the great values of RIA sooner than ever before. Note that the Record Main Converter utility might not handle specific complex logic segments. In such cases, the complex logic segment will be kept as-is to maintain the application functionality and to allow for manual intervention to complete the conversion.

New Features, Feature Enhancements and Behavior Changes

Data Sources Management Screen (Ctrl+D) A new management screen was added to show all the data sources (similar to the eDeveloper V9 screen). This screen also includes data sources defined for selection controls. You can access this screen from the Task pulldown menu or the Ctrl+D shortcut.

Source Control Strategy In addition to the current source control mechanism, in which all the files are stored and used locally, a new source control strategy was added and you can now choose to store only the checked out objects locally while using the rest of the source files from a common place. To use this strategy, your Source Control Server should support shadow folders, and this folder must be defined in uniPaaS when you create a new project or open a project from the server.

Source Control ChangeSet Support Performing Check-in to several objects simultaneously will now load them to the source control server in a single operation. If your source control server supports ChangeSets, then you will be able to see, in the object source control properties, which files were checked in with your object.

Activity Monitor Improvements The Activity Monitor screen now displays a table with multiple columns. Saving this data will generate an XML file with this information. This change adds more information for the activities and enables easier task flow monitoring.

Dynamic Range, Locate and Sort The following functions were added to allow dynamic execution of Range, Locate and Sort: RangeAdd(), RangeReset(), LocateAdd(), LocateReset(), SortAdd(), SortReset(). When using these functions, the new Range/Locate/Sort criteria are stored in the memory, and will be executed when a View Refresh is performed. This functionality provides the ability to easily write a Range/Locate/Sort interface to be used by the end user.


7

Dynamic Range, Locate and Sort – New Component A component (and its source code) that uses the new dynamic range and locate functions is available. This component can be used to replace the built-in functionality of Range, Locate and Sort that is provided with the uniPaaS installation. The component includes interfaces for both Online and Rich Client tasks.

Models – Part of DataView The 'Part of DataView' property was added to the field model, so you can now define it in the model level and inherit it in the task.

Column Click – New Event A new event was added to allow you to catch the column click and write specific logic that will be executed when the user clicks on a column.

TaskTypeGet() – New Function A new function was added to return the task type. This function will allow you to write specific logic for Online, Batch or Rich Client tasks.

TaskInstance() – New Function A new function was added to return the task instance ID. The task instance is a unique ID for the current execution of a task. If a task is re-opened, it will have a new instance ID. This function will allow you to save persistence data per the task instance.

.NET Integration – Improve Auto Complete uniPaaS will now auto complete the DotNet expression prefix in the Expression Editor.

PDF Printing – Hebrew Version There was a change in behavior in the Hebrew version. To correctly print Hebrew data, the H modifier should be added to the Format property of the control. Any Hebrew data that is printed without an H in the Format property may appear flipped.

PDF Printing – Embedded Fonts uniPaaS now allows the user to control whether fonts will be embedded within PDF files. When the fonts are embedded, the PDF size increases. You can control the print behavior via a new option in the environment settings.


8

PDF Printing – Compression uniPaaS now supports creating compressed PDF files. Compressing the PDF will reduce the PDF size. You can govern the print behavior via a new option in the environment settings.

SQL Server – DATE and TIME Data Types The DATE and TIME data types added to SQLServer 2008 are now supported in uniPaaS.

Direct SQL Parameters – Trimmed Data A new special setting named SpecialTrimParamDSQL was added to define whether or not parameters sent to Direct SQL statements will be trimmed.

Form State Persistency and Preferred Events – File Location The location of where the data of the Form State Persistency and Preferred Events was changed from: ‘C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\MSE’ to: ‘C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\\Application Data\MSE’

Drag & Drop – Multiple Files When dragging multiple files into an edit field, the separator character between the file names is now the pipe char (|) instead of a comma. This will allow you to properly handle file names that contain a comma in their name.

DBViewSize() Function – Preload View When Preload View=No, the DBViewSize() function will now return 0 and not the number of records that were fetched so far.

RqRtBlock() Function – Enhancements A new parameter was added to the function to determine if the blocked engine will be terminated when it no longer serves any users.

Checker Enhancements – Unused Expressions A new option was added to define the Checker behavior when unused expressions are found. You can define whether to skip them, delete them, or open a dialog box (as it did before). You can select the desired behavior by updating the ‘Checker behavior for unused expressions’ setting in the Preferences tab of the Environment settings screen.


9

Checker Enhancements – Result File The Checker results can now be saved to a file. You can define the result file in the ‘Checker output file’ setting in the External tab of the Environment settings screen.

Rich Client – Program Execution There is no longer a need to set public names for RIA programs that are not the entry point of the application.

Rich Client – Deployment To simplify the deployment and increase the security of the web server, the RIAModules alias is no longer required. The Rich Client Deployment Builder will now copy the RIA modules and resources into the published application folder.

Rich Client – Studio Execution To simplify the uniPaaS Studio upgrades, the old RIA Modules will now be overwritten with the updated files. (The subfolder with the RIA version was removed). This means that you no longer have to manually update the ClientModulesPath parameter in any external ini files used.

Rich Client – MDI Support MDI is now supported for Rich Client applications. The declaration of the MDI properties is done by defining a Rich Client MDI form in the Main program and checking the ‘Open Rich Client MDI Frame’ check box, which exists in the Interface tab in the Main program’s task properties. Refer to the uniPaaS Help for information about working with MDI in Rich Client.

Rich Client – Automatic Closing of Tasks A new option was added to define whether a window will be automatically closed when clicking on a parent window. This ability provides compatibility to the Online window behavior. You can define this behavior in the Preferences tab of the environment settings.


10

Rich Client – Image Location A new property was added to the Image control to define whether the image file will be loaded from the server or the client. If the image refers to a server file, uniPaaS will automatically transfer the image file to the client and show it. This means that you no longer have to expose the images on the Web server or manually transfer them to the client side in order to show them to the user.

Rich Client – Resource Location Objects other than images that refer to an external resource file (such as wallpaper images and Tab control images), will now regard the file as a server file and uniPaaS will automatically transfer the file to the client and display it. This means that you no longer have to expose the resources on the Web server or manually transfer them to the client side in order to show them to the user.

Rich Client – RIA Modules Upgrade/Downgrade When running a Rich Client application from a mobile device or directly by running the uniRC.exe (without using ClickOnce), the Rich Client modules on the client machine will automatically be updated if the server version is different from the client version.

Rich Client – Run a Task in a Parent Screen Area The ability to run a program or task in a subform using the Call operation was enhanced and you can now choose a subform that is defined in a parent task form.

Rich Client – Form State Persistency Support Form state persistency is now supported for Rich Client applications. This behavior is governed by the new ‘Persistent form state’ form property. The FormStateClear() function is supported for Rich Client as well.

Rich Client – Incremental Locate Support Incremental locate is now supported in Rich Client tasks.

Rich Client – Push Button Alignment Horizontal and Vertical alignment are now fully supported for Rich Client Push Button controls.


11

Rich Client – Server-Side Debugger Support The Debugger functionality is now supported for server-side operations in Rich Client tasks.

Rich Client – ClientFileOpenDlg() and ClientFileSaveDlg() Functions The ClientFileOpenDlg() and ClientFileSaveDlg() functions were enhanced and will show the filename specified in the path property as the default file name.

Rich Client – Neutral Functions The following function were changed to be neutral-side functions: DbViewSize(), DbViewRowIdx(), INIGet(), INIPut() and ProjectDir(), Term(), User().

Rich Client – Client Functions The following functions are now supported as client-side functions: CtrlHWND() and WinHWND().

Rich Client – File Transfer Two new functions named ServerFileToClient() and ClientFileToServer() were added to allow you to easily transfer files between the client machine and the server machine.

Rich Client – Customized Error Screen The DefError keyword, which is used to customize the error screen, is now supported for Rich Client applications.

Rich Client –Drag-and-Drop Support The drag-and-drop functionality is now supported in Rich Client tasks and Rich Client forms for Edit controls only.

Rich Client – Print Data Support The User Functionality component mentioned above also contains a Rich Client program that implements the Online Print Data capabilities. You can use this component if you need to provide the Print Data capabilities to the end user from a Rich Client program.

Rich Client – Report Generator Support The Report Generator can now be executed from a Rich Client task.


12

Rich Client Mobile – Application Minimize You can now minimize your application from any task using the WinMinimize() function. This will hide the application and move it to the background. Running the application again or using the WinMaximize() function will return the task to the exact state from which the application was minimized.

Rich Client Mobile – Customization The Rich Client Deployment Builder was enhanced with the ability to define the application splash screen for your mobile application, so that you can use your own graphics. You can also customize the mobile application icon by manually updating the following resource file with the required icon: Add_On\Builders\Templates\MobileResource.dll.

Rich Client Mobile – .NET Compact Framework 3.5 The Rich Client Mobile module was enhanced with the ability to integrate with the .NET assemblies from the .NET Compact Framework 3.5. If you need to interact with these assemblies, your mobile device should have the .NET Compact Framework 3.5 installed, and you should use the V3.5 deployment package created with the Rich Client Deployment Builder.

Background Engine – Input Password When running a program from the Studio that is defined with Input Password = Yes and Deployment mode = Background, the Runtime engine will now use the Studio user name and password and will not open the Logon screen.

Web Service Lite – Complex Type When consuming an RPC Web service with complex types, the Complex elements are now sent as-is and are not escaped.

Installation – Rich Client Deployment Builder The Rich Client Deployment Builder will now be installed on server installations. This allows you to run it on the deployment site without having the uniPaaS Studio installed.

Installation – 64-bit DLLs The uniPaaS installation wizard now allows the end user to decide whether to install the 32-bit or 64-bit version of the requesters when it is run on a 64-bit operating system.


13

Installation – Compatibility Guide The Certification document was renamed to Compatibility Guide.

Installation – Mgreq.ini The default value of the AutoLoopBack property in the Mgreq.ini file was changed to ‘Y’.

Korean and Traditional Chinese Support uniPaaS will now install the dll files required to support Korean and Traditional Chinese characters.

Help Changes The uniPaaS Help was enhanced and it now contains information from various documents, such as the Mastering uniPaaS PDF, Technical Notes, and documentation about servers. When searching for a string in the uniPaaS Help, details from all of these sources will appear. You can see the source of the result in the Location column.
