GXserver Release Candidate: GeneXus Server, the new product by Artech that is evolving together with GeneXus X Evolution 1, introduces a revamped interface with a very friendly look & feel that, among other new features, has an IDE that handles the following languages: Spanish, English, Japanese and Portuguese.

It includes a KB viewer that allows you to open a KB directly on the Server and navigate it using only an installed browser. It is also possible to administer the Server from the browser, in order to configure how authentication will be managed, install User Controls, and so on. In sum: ALL the knowledge can be navigated similarly to how it is done in the IDE (you can try it at http://gxserver.genexusx.com/genexusserver or view screenshots at GXserver Screenshots: The Tip of the Iceberg).
 

This viewer feature adds power to GXserver as a tool for knowledge sharing and team work, even with geographically distributed teams, among other advantages.

GXflow with BPMN:

Processes modeled through the Business Process Diagram now support the BPMN (Business Process Modeling Notation) standard. This notation standard is supported by most tools available on the BPM market, and that's why it has become well known within the community of process analysts, whose members have found a common way to exchange models. This new notation will give users more expressiveness when representing processes, which translates into more flexibility for presenting their reality.

Power and intelligence in Queries

The Query Viewer Control can now be loaded from Data Providers, which is particularly interesting because it allows you to share them for several purposes. Even more astonishing is that the Query Viewer Control knows how to display these data just by specifying the Data Provider from which to obtain the data. It's worth noting that the Query Viewer has a feature that makes it possible to pivot on the Web, and its main functionality is to give end users the ability to analyze data. However, these data can be loaded not only from Data Providers, but also from Query Objects. The latter have more power: they support more features, aggregation formulas and expressions.

Large KBs and complex environments:

GeneXus’ performance, use of resources and overall usability have been improved, especially when it comes to working with large Knowledge Bases, providing more agile development and testing cycles (even when compared with GeneXus 9). All support limits have been expanded.

In addition, multiple "Form Classes" are supported, as are multiple generators per environment. Regarding this particular topic, several improvements have been introduced for iSeries or mixed environments (iSeries and .NET or Java).

There have been conversions and developments with tens of thousands of objects, which give proof of the stability and robustness of this version.


Become a Beta Tester
In this stage, beta testers also play a key role.
