Why haven’t you made the move?

You told us:

Business-oriented reasons I don’t need new functionality or features I don’t have the resources for upgrading, migrating and/or transforming I can’t count the users or they only use the application a couple of times a

month but there’s no agent based pricing anymore The benefits of rolling out the new release do not outweigh the cost

Development-oriented reasons I don’t have the assets and skills to take advantage of the new features I don’t have customer requirements that force to move forward There are no new technologies that I’m forced to leverage Service Oriented Architecture, OpenEdge Reference Architecture,

Application Transformation Approach, it’s just too complex for me Can I learn and try before I buy (in)?

If the benefits don’t seem to outweigh the cost,there’s no reason to move…


Myths and Truths

Myths about OpenEdge 10#1 – It’s a new product, not an

evolution of Progress® 9#2 – It’s hard to upgrade to

OpenEdge 10#3 – It’s all about Service-

oriented architectures (SOA) and application transformation… if I’m not ready, there’s no need to use OpenEdge 10


It is an evolution, not revolution

It has always been about the Business Process

Version 8 was about Client/Server

Version 9 was about n-tier scalability

OpenEdge 10 is about

Upgrade

Benefits


Upgrading to OpenEdge 10

Operations Major performance increases

• SQL Engine, ODBC & JDBC; Type II Storage areas, Capacity Limits removed

Increased uptime• Adding tables, field, indexes on the

fly; OpenEdge Management & Replication, etc

Compliance – Auditing, Wire Encryption, Business Continuity, Business Intelligence

Enhanced look & feel (XP manifest) Globalization (e.g. Unicode) Easier Deployment - Silent Install,

Application Server Packaging New platform support (V9 is mature)

Definition:

Leveraging new capabilities without changing one letter of code

Development OpenEdge Architect

• Eclipse based, project based, role based, basic SCM

• DB Navigator, ProDataSet™ Designer, Debugger

But, AppBuilder/ADM2 still there, launch separately or within OpenEdge Architect and with 10.1B also Dynamics…

Convert the DB, compile the code, test and deploy!

Upgrade

Migrating with OpenEdge 10

To mention a few… Productivity - OpenEdge Architect, ProDataSet (& DataView),

Auditing, Security, State-Free AppServer™

Integration - XML, ProDataSet/XML, OpenEdge Adapters for Sonic MQ® & Sonic ESB®, Open Clients (Web Services, Java™, .NET™), etc

Enhancements DB/ABL – OO, CLOB/BLOB/DateTime, etc Packaging – OpenEdge Application Server (incl. AppServer,

WebSpeed® Transaction Server, Open Clients, Sonic adapters)

Transforming to OpenEdge 10

Development Application Transformation

Approach

• Guideline how to approach assessment, analyses, redesign, harvest, build and test…

• …NOT the enforced way how to get there!

• Break the larger project into manageable smaller iterations to mitigate risk

Benefits:

Leveraging new capabilities to change Architecture

In many ways, transformation is a more structured and planned migration because it includes architectural changes

Transforming to OpenEdge 10

Development OpenEdge Reference Architecture

• Guideline how to (re-)architect a modern application..

• ..NOT the enforced or only way to do it!

• Prioritize! – Maybe you need fancy UI, integration or

n-tier first before separating ALL the layers, all the clients, all data access, etc!

Myths and Truths


evolution of Progress 9#2 – It’s hard to upgrade to


oriented architectures (SOA) and application transformation… if I’m not ready, there’s no need to upgrade

Truths about OpenEdge 10#1 – It’s an evolution that builds

on the benefits you already know

#2 – Upgrading is straight-forward and there are many benefits that require no development work

#3 – Change is constant… and OpenEdge continues to provide our developers practical innovation to keep up with change…

… and, there’s many more benefits too if SOA is not your highest priority today

Lifecycle: Solutions

Common Lifecycle Solutions• Upgrade is

easiest option

• Sets foundation for future changes

• Ensures that key issues will be supported in your platform



Analysis / Define top business priorities Review additional details on PSDN Online Select new features/functionality Determine the greatest benefit for your needs

• Upgrade, Migrate, Transform (or mixture) Define incremental plan that works for you Prototype with new features

• Minimize architecture changes (at first)• Do NOT worry about optimizing – you may

need two architectures for a while Be sure to include people

• Training for new features is key
