Dynamic Data Object (SDO)

Dynamic Data Object n n n No Recompilations Reduced Footprint One procedure with no code – Move all methods in data. i to super procedures n n 41 Transparent (Not just a query object) © 2002, Progress Software Corporation

What is the Dynamic Data Object? n n n 1 physical file, adm 2/dynsdo. w Run separately to render each instance A running instance is a rendering of – Repository attributes – Inherited logic from data, query and other classes – Business Logic hooks from the Custom Logical Procedure n 42 Runs on both server and client © 2002, Progress Software Corporation

The Role of the Logic Procedure n n 43 The Logic Procedure still needs to be static to be able to express business logic The data object include is still generated to be included in the Logic Procedure Column properties are stored in the generated include or inherited from Data Dictionary Used by the Dynamic SDO at runtime © 2002, Progress Software Corporation

Open Data Object APIs

Open Data Object - Goals n n 45 Improve the data objects ability to operate as the data source for stateless calls from Web. Speed. Make the data object accessible from 4 GL anywhere Eliminate the need to write special SDO adapters to manage data requests from non Progress clients Require no knowledge of the internal data object temp-tables © 2002, Progress Software Corporation

What’s the Purpose of the Open API? n n 46 Create, Update, Delete & Read Reuse of business logic Manage batches of data for stateless requests Last, but not least, simplify these tasks © 2002, Progress Software Corporation

V 2. 1) – P 30_004_V 3 Targeted for next but one major release of Dynamics (e. g. V 3) 67 © 2002, Progress Software Corporation

Some Debug Aids n n n n 68 To enable debug options, add this into your icfconfig. xml – <_debug_tools_on>YES – <_profiler_run>YES CTRL-ALT-SHIFT-C to display a repository cache viewer CTRL-ALT-SHIFT-Q to get the query used for a dyn combo, when focus is on the combo CTRL-ALT-SHIFT-S to show session property temp-tables CTRL-ALT-SHIFT-HOME to get all the links for a container To get the query used for a dynamic lookup, double-click on the frame of the lookup, between the browse and the fill-in showing the records to retrieve. In the filter window, double-clicking on the window itself will show information about the SDO's query. The easiest place to do this is to click on the space between the right edge of the folder window and the edge of the frame. © 2002, Progress Software Corporation
