OpenEdge Architect Meta Catalog

Supports developers in analyzing the impact of code changes - how code is related to other code

Focuses on the needs of developers navigating large amounts of code making up a complex application

Provides significant productivity benefits to developers in their day-to-day work


What are T4BL ?

Visual design tools for the development of business objects• Business objects that represent data elements and

business logic that provide application functionality

Tools to model business objects which can be used to generate ABL application code• Using T4BL component models

– ABL code can generated which can then be used/reused in OpenEdge applications

Supports the OpenEdge Reference Architecture

Tools for Business Logic


Code/Model Development

Visual/Graphically OrientedText/Code Oriented

Code-centric Model-centric

Code written by hand can easily be transformed into visual model components

Model components can be visually edited and the code

elements will reflect the change

Code/Model Development

Accommodate a wide range of development styles

Code can be created or edited at any time

Code is not dependent on a model

Code elements can be transformed into

Models create structure and code that can be edited

Progress 4GL becomes OpenEdge ABL (Advanced Business Language)

A procedure-oriented and object-oriented language for next-generation business applications

Blends the best of business-purposed 4GL and object-oriented language features• Procedure-orientation for easier process design

• Object-orientation for business object design & reuse

Object-Oriented Extensions to the 4GL


Object-Oriented Extensions

Promotes Reuse, Maintainability, and Robustness

Enabling developers to model applications the way they think about them

- Encapsulating the data and the operations that manipulate it

Class: Order

PRIVATE: ordNum AS INT CalculatePrice ( )PROTECTED: CalculateTax ( )PUBLIC: InitOrder ( ) GetOrderTotal ( )

Class: InternalOrder INHERITS Order

PUBLIC: GetOrderTotal ( )


Object-Oriented Extensions

The OO Extensions support the concepts of• Encapsulation• Inheritance • Polymorphism• Delegation

Promotes Reuse, Maintainability, and Robustness

“… have been designed to complement the 4GL, and are meant to be combined and integrated with

‘traditional’ procedures, when it makes sense to do so. The object-oriented enhancements extend the

core values of the 4GL, not replace them.”

OpenEdge 10.1 provides an Auditing Framework that can supply an uninterrupted trail of an application

client’s access to its operations and data

Low application impact• Minimal, if any, application changes necessary

Application Access Auditing• Full control over data and non-data events

Database Access Auditing• Works for native and SQL access• Create/Update/Delete, Schema changes, Utilities . . .

Secure access to audit logs• Easy reporting and monitoring capabilities

Core Business Services – Auditing for OpenEdge®


High Performance Solution for “Who did what, when?”

Guaranteed non- repudiable audit trail

Only audits what is needed

Relationally stored audit data for easy reporting

Seamless access across the ABL and SQL

Language Enhancements

UNDO of *LOBS Parameter passing NUM-REFERENCES attribute Short-hand syntax for dynamic references DBTYPE evaluation by preprocessor Static Widget IDs

. . .

… A language that is as powerful and easy to use

for SOA applications as the original language

was for host-based applications


Language - UI Enhancements

XP Look• Buttons with Labels• Buttons with Images• Rectangles• Browses• Resizable Windows Status Area

Manifest file• prowin32.exe.manifest • prowc.exe.manifest

New WINDOW-SYSTEM value• MS-WINXP


Language – XML Enhancements

SAX Writer Object• Allows Progress developers to stream XML,

significantly reducing memory requirements

• Supports the handling of very large XML documents

XML Schema Validation• Allows the parser to validate XML documents to

OpenEdge® SQL

Performance Type 4 JDBC Driver J2EE/JTA Online Schema Changes Schema Management SQL99 Array Data Type


Consuming Web services

Improved Complex Data Support• ProDataSet and Temp-Table

– Serialized as an XML document– Deserialize XML document

Analyzer will indicate if mapping is possible

Unwrapped Wrapped Document Literal• Simplified programming

– Multiple simple parameters easier to work with than one complex document

• Improved interoperability with 4GL Web Services

OpenAPI• Run procedures on the AppServer without a proxy

• A set of classes used in place of generated proxies– One set of classes for .NET Open Client– One set of classes for Java Open Client


OpenEdge Connectivity to SonicMQ®

Symbiotic Adapter for SonicMQ• SonicMQ BrokerConnect• SonicMQ ClientConnect• SonicMQ ServerConnect

Simplified Installation

New APIs to support for SonicMQ 6 features• Client persistence• Fault tolerance• Service-based message selectors • Serialized connection objects
