AePlus Workbench
It provides developers with a user friendly front-end through which they can
perform various development activities like running AE program in normal or debug mode,
viewing logs, viewing output files, browse source code etc. all from one point.
AePlus Workbench has following features:
- Run AppEngine as Normal at Client (On your Desktop and not thru Process Scheduler).
- Run AppEngine with Debug at Client (On your Desktop).
This is preceded by an internal AePlus compile that produces debug version of AppEngine.
- Run AppEngine as Normal at Server (Thru Process Scheduler).
- Run AppEngine with Debug at Server (Thru Process Scheduler).
This is preceded by an internal AePlus compile that produces debug version of AppEngine.
- Run AppEngine as Normal or with Debug, at Client or at Server with Source Code
Database being different to Target Database (where AppEngine Runs).
This is preceded by an internal AePlus compile that produces AppEngine in Target Database.
- Take Snapshot of AppEngine for Version Control. This also creates AppEngine
source code in text and list format contaings all the
Sections, Steps, Actions, Sqls and PeopleCode.
- Analyse/Browse AppEngine Source Code in text/list format.
- Since AppEngine source code is also made available outside PeopleSoft database,
you can Analyse/Browse multiple AppEngine source code in your preferred
text editor.
- View AppEngine Log File.
- View AePlus Log File.
- Quick indication to developer when AppEngine program is completed.
- No need to go thru Web for testing, debugging AppEngines programs.
- Context sensitive on-line help.
- Support of MRU (recall AppEngine program and its settings from Most Recent Used list).
- User-friendly GUI interface.
- Uses PeopleSoft UserId (e.g. PS or VP1) to connect to database.
Does not require sysadm username/password.
- No additional connectivity (like ODBC) is required.
- When executing AppEngine in debug mode notifies the developer if PeopleSoft
Cache is not up-to-date.
If running at client (Desktop), provides an option to delete the cache before
running the AppEngine program.
- Ability to compile selective PeopleCode with debug facility.
- Ability to rerun debug session without going to internal AePlus Compile.
