Re: SilverDev; RPG ILE web development centralized on your IBM i

Thanks Marie-Line.

I should have re-read my notes before posting. However, I do remember the cold reception I got when it was realised that MyDesk needed to be installed on all the PC's already equipped with internet browsers. I was so disappointed : I'd just looked at CGIDEV for the first time and it seemed that the SilverDev solution was so much simpler from the point of view of an RPG programmer like myself. One big problem though was that I never actually got the thing up and running, as I needed help and coordination from the system people who were not very keen. With CGIDEV, I was able to download, install and get an application working witout that help.

Hi David,

I've been working with Silverdev for many years, and I can
assure you that
you do not have to install modifications on the PCs.
The programs are written in RPG IV and run on the i, the
screens are
stored on the i,
and when you have to modify something on a screen you just
have to compile
it in the designer, and it works without compiling the RPG again.

All you have to install on PCs is the "emulator", called MyDesk.

If you change the version of Silverdev on your i, it will apply
automatically on the PCs when users get connected.

Silvedev was really the right tool for us to give our
applications a
graphical interface without giving up the stability and security of
applications running on the i.

We looked at this maybe 3 years ago before the English
translation was ready. I was quite excited about it but when
admin found out that every modification of an application
would need to be installed on every PC that used it, the idea
was dropped. I don't know if anything has changed since.
