26 Database Designer Editing Genero data types Foreign key definition Index definition Database synchronization Database structure Inline editing Database object properties Multiple views with filtering Page 26

27 Team work Source code management Gets code checkout user_1 Reviews changes (diff, log, ) Commits code SCM Repository user_2 User_2 gets user_1 changes Resolves conflict if any Page 27

28 Team work Source code management Subversion (SVN) source code control system Supports most features found in CVS Commits are truly atomic Revision numbers are per-commit, not per-file Log messages attached to the revision, not stored redundantly as in CVS Directories, renames, and file meta-data are versioned File and directory copies Repository mirroring Page 28

29 Team work Source code management File status (modified, added, deleted ) in the Project and File Browser Diff tool Status view listing local changes Commit, update, revert operations Page 29

42 Business Application Modeling (Model driven application development) Page 42

43 Business Application Modeling Design business applications using models Functional rather than architectural approach Developers describe features & behavior via design diagrams Business application diagram workflow Database diagram database schema and meta data Data diagram forms, reports & web services Architecture defined in templates Good for prototyping too Page 43

44 Business Application Modeling Models are part of application sources Part of the build process Always up to date For architects and developers Page 44

45 Business Application Modeling Architecture defined in templates User interface Constraints Business logic Web services Application state management Unifies ergonomics, code style & mechanisms Bespoke code <POINT> and <BLOCK> markers protect bespoke code during regeneration Page 45
