Managing WebSmart Development with TurnOver
TurnOver makes it easy to manage the full lifecycle of even the most complex RPG-to-Web projects, improving availability for highly visible Web applications. Businesses that use either the Original Edition or Java Servlets Edition of WebSmart to develop Web or browser-based applications with iSeries components can now manage their software development process with TurnOver. TurnOver/WebSmart exit programs and commands are included in TurnOver, and there are no special interface programs to install.
A WebSmart developer's design work is stored in a single text file a WebSmart Definition. RPGLE CGI programs or Java servlets are generated from these definition files. To ensure efficient software development, it's essential to keep track of the generated programs and servlets, plus related definition files, and coordinate promotion of these traditional and nontraditional objects into test and production environments.
Simply define TurnOver type codes to manage WebSmart components, and add the type codes to your WebSmart application definition(s). Once set up, TurnOver automates the synchronized checkout and promotion of a definition file and its corresponding RPGLE program. It ensures smooth implementation of all changes by coordinating the movement of iSeries files, along with all non-native artifacts, to test and production environments.
TurnOver supports development in both WebSmart OE (Original Edition) and WebSmart JSE (Java Servlets Edition).
Synchronized movement of all objects
TurnOver keeps track of WebSmart definitions and their associated output so all components can automatically be identified, checked out, promoted, tested, distributed, and, if necessary, recovered together.
Multi-platform deployment
TurnOver synchronizes implementation of changes across platforms iSeries, Windows, UNIX, Linux, or any FTP-enabled server.
Fast and foolproof recovery
Because users can set up TurnOver to archive each item it promotes, regardless of its final destination, any promotion across the network can be recovered immediately should a problem occur.
Support for 24/7 applications
Businesses can schedule deployment to run after hours with confidence because of TurnOver's reliable recovery options. Set up deployment requirements within TurnOver for consistent, automated distribution of applications and optimized availability for Web applications.
Full lifecycle support
TurnOver manages the full lifecycle of even the most complex RPG-to-Web projects. Developers can reliably handle both WebSmart and traditional iSeries source code and objects.
Auditable, detailed change history
Each change made through TurnOver is documented in TurnOver's change history database and is fully auditable.
Fast implementation
TurnOver/WebSmart exit programs and commands are included free with each TurnOver development license. There are no special interface programs to install.
Interface & Application Software Support
You can use TurnOver's many APIs or built-in interfaces to bridge to any software package, including:
