Q& a – Wavemaker Demo/Training Webinar – March 15, 2016 Q& A – WaveMaker Demo/Training Webinar – March 15, 2016 Q: Is there a workflow engine ie BPMN v2 A: WaveMaker has strong integrations with APIs, web services and SDKs. You can integrate with rules engine platforms like JBPM and Drools using their Java SDKs (jars) or through their ReST APIs. You need to do this only if the workflow requires very complex workflows. Otherwise, the native capabilities of the WaveMaker should be enough to take care of your app requirements. Q: on oracle db's there are schemas, which should be considered...what is important to consider regarding to that (schema)? do I have to import the tables over each schema or is there a way how to import the whole tables (over all schemas)...? A: WaveMaker allows you to import tables from multiple schemas. See the image below. This is the second step of importing an Oracle DB. [Steps: Import > Database > Select Oracle > ….] Q: Can we provide read only access to a user group? A: For instance if you are dealing with an editable grid, which has an add/save button, all you to do is to hide the button for users with a specific role. If you are dealing with a specific widget then you can use the conditional read-only option as shown below. Here you need to write a one-line javascript as shown below, where the users with the role “rolename” will be presented a read-only birthdate. Q: Can we integrate the application for SSO ? A: You can configure SSO easily through the following approach. Many of our customers are using SSO with custom security module. The authentication token can be validated for access. Also we are coming up with in-built support for SSO using soon. Q: how to connect to external database such as AWS /MySql? any ports or other considerations? A: If you are using WaveMaker Online, then connecting to MySql database hosted on AWS should be easy. Make sure to have the IP and port publicly accessible and relevant database permissions are there. You just need to give the PUBLIC_IP details in your connection string, when you are trying to connect. See image below. This is the second step when you are trying to import a MySql DB.. Q: Hi.. How about chart integration.. like the Healthcare Dashboard you showed.. Does WaveMaker include charts? WaveMaker has a good collection of chart widgets as shown in the image below. These are D3JS based charting widgets that can provide automatic count, aggregations and groupings. You can use the following link to know more about using these widgets - http://www.wavemaker.com/learn/docs/chart- widgets/. If you want to integrate a 3rd party widget into WaveMaker, you can use prefabs to do that as shown in this blog post. Q: Grid inside Grid. Filtering Sorting Data in Grid and Pinning like Excel is possible A: Nested grids are not currently supported. Filtering and sorting data inside grid is possible. Pinning of grid headers is possible. Q: Can I integrate custom code from github? If you are talking about an entire application getting imported into WaveMaker, we don’t support that. But if you are talking about specific business logic represented as java classes, you can import that into WaveMaker. You can either make a jar file of these classes and do an Import > Jar or you can create java-services and copy paste the code. Q: how we can upload excel data into tables? A: We are in the process of making this facility out of the box in the platform. But as we do it, you can use the java service feature to import excel data into WM. Check out this blog - http://www.wavemaker.com/rad/import-ms-excel-documents-into-wavemaker/. This blog is slightly dated with respect to the screen shots, but the approach remains the same. Q: Could the java service return Object in his method A: Yes you can return an object from a java service. It presents a JSON view for the UI binding. you need to have a java object with proper bean definition. setter and getter methods and default constructors. This will present each properly to be bound on UI fields. See the sample java class below: public class TestObj { private String a; private String b; //constructor public TestObj(){ } //getters and setters for variable ‘a’ public String getA(){ return a; } public void setA(String a){ this.a = a; } //getters and setters for variable ‘a’ public String getB(){ return b; } public void setB(String b){ this.b = b; } } Once you have the java service properly defined, the variables will start appearing in the binding screen as shown in the image below: Q: Once I'm done with my RAD efforts, how do I move my app (i.e. its code) into my "regular" IDE (e.g. Eclipse) to enable peer code reviews and extensions, testing (unit, functional, and regression testing) and formal validation for regulated sectors/industries A: WaveMaker Enterprise (WME) allows you to integrate with your organization version control system (Git, SVN, etc). And then use your IDE to direclty access the code from VCS. You can also export your code to IDE using Export Zip facility as shown in the image below. Check out this blog which talks about maven support for WaveMaker projects - http://www.wavemaker.com/latest/maven-support-for-wavemaker-projects/. This blog is slightly old, but the process still remains the same. Q: Overlay of screen is available? A: This feature is not available out-of-the-box. Q: Can you use sql azure databases in a application A: WaveMaker supports any database supported by hibernate. Sql Azure is compatible with hibernate. Q: Are there any possibilities for source control (git, svn, cvs)? and do we have an ability to bound CSS (themes)? A: We have integrated version control system (VCS) in our platform. We support Git, SVN, BitBucket. Check out the this URL for more details - link http://www.wavemaker.com/learn/docs/version- control/ . In the platform you can see the VCS items listed under the VCS menu as shown below: Q: Does wave maker natively support multi tenancy or is this up to the developer A: We don’t have any out-of-the-box multi-tenancy support. There are multiple ways of achieving multi- tenancy though. Enabling any approach is very easy in WaveMaker. One of the approaches could be as follows: 1. Create a tenantid column in all your tables 2. On user registration, set a static variable to an unique tenantid. Also store that into the user table. 3. When your end user logs in, set the tenant id static variable from the user table. 4. For all your queries, makes sure to have the following where clause “WHERE tenantid = :tenandId” and bind the :tenantId to tenantid static variable. 5. In your UI, make sure that the data that shows up is only for a particular logged in user. Q: What other deployment platforms other than AWS. Heroku? Etc.. A: For WaveMaker Online, we support instant deployment to AWS at this moment. We have plans to support Google App Engine soon. With WaveMaker Enterprise (on-premise), you can enable WaveMaker Cloud in your own infrastructure and have an instant deployment configured. Q: Is there ORM? If yes, how it works? I mean instead of going to DB may I start to define ObjectStructure? A: WaveMaker uses Hibernate and Spring for the generated apps. Hibernate is the most popular ORM framework. So yes we use ORM. You have to define your structure using our DB designer. Q: Can you generate pdf reports or excel reports A: Our release by April end will have integrated PDF generation and support for excel. Until then you can do the following: 1. Import a open source library (jar) like https://pdfbox.apache.org/ 2. Create a java service that accepts the contents as an input parameter and outputs a pdf file. The java service will call the libraries imported in step 1 to do that. 3. Bind the java service to button (called Generate PDF) on-click event. This way the button click will call the java service and output a pdf .

  • Cloud Computing: a Taxonomy of Platform and Infrastructure-Level Offerings David Hilley College of Computing Georgia Institute of Technology
    Cloud Computing: A Taxonomy of Platform and Infrastructure-level Offerings David Hilley College of Computing Georgia Institute of Technology April 2009 Cloud Computing: A Taxonomy of Platform and Infrastructure-level Offerings David Hilley 1 Introduction Cloud computing is a buzzword and umbrella term applied to several nascent trends in the turbulent landscape of information technology. Computing in the “cloud” alludes to ubiquitous and inexhaustible on-demand IT resources accessible through the Internet. Practically every new Internet-based service from Gmail [1] to Amazon Web Services [2] to Microsoft Online Services [3] to even Facebook [4] have been labeled “cloud” offerings, either officially or externally. Although cloud computing has garnered significant interest, factors such as unclear terminology, non-existent product “paper launches”, and opportunistic marketing have led to a significant lack of clarity surrounding discussions of cloud computing technology and products. The need for clarity is well-recognized within the industry [5] and by industry observers [6]. Perhaps more importantly, due to the relative infancy of the industry, currently-available product offerings are not standardized. Neither providers nor potential consumers really know what a “good” cloud computing product offering should look like and what classes of products are appropriate. Consequently, products are not easily comparable. The scope of various product offerings differ and overlap in complicated ways – for example, Ama- zon’s EC2 service [7] and Google’s App Engine [8] partially overlap in scope and applicability. EC2 is more flexible but also lower-level, while App Engine subsumes some functionality in Amazon Web Services suite of offerings [2] external to EC2.

  • Annual Report 2018
    Annual Report 2018 January 2019 In 2018, the Foundation expanded its definition of Cloud Foundry, shifting away from prioritizing the Application Runtime in order to spread awareness of the many projects that comprise Cloud Foundry technologies. This new messaging aligned with the 2018 vision for interoperability, a theme that underpinned all Foundation content. The interoperability of Cloud Foundry was evident across the ecosystem -- in the technologies integrated into the platform itself to the technologies with which Cloud Foundry integrates to form a multi-platform strategy. This year, the Foundation launched a Certified Systems Integrators program, announced new Certified Providers Cloud.gov and SUSE, accepted interoperable projects Eirini and CF Containerization into the Project Management Council and published four research reports -- while planning and hosting two major Summits and six Cloud Foundry Days. Like the platform itself, the Cloud Foundry Foundation has reached a new level of maturity and continues to evolve. Cloud Foundry Foundation Annual Report 2018 2 2018 Highlights TECHNICAL & COMMUNITY • Interoperability: Two new projects were accepted by the Project Management Committees in order to further integrate Kubernetes with Cloud Foundry technologies. CF Containerization, initially developed and donated to the Foundation by SUSE, is designed to package Cloud Foundry BOSH releases into containers and deploy those containers into Kubernetes. Eirini, proposed by IBM and seeing contributions from IBM, SUSE and SAP, is working towards allowing operators and product vendors to use Kubernetes as the underlying container scheduler for the Cloud Foundry Application Runtime. • 2018 Certified Providers: In 2018, Cloud.gov and SUSE joined the list of certified providers of Cloud Foundry, bringing the total to eight -- the other six being Atos, Huawei, IBM, Pivotal, SAP and Swisscom.

    ENHANCED DATA SECURITY ON CLOUD BASED USING ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM, ELLIPTIC CURVE CRYPTOGRAPHY & BLOWFISH ALGORITHM 1 2 Neetu Sharma , Monika Kansal 1Asstt. Prof. , ABES Engg. College GZB (India) 2 Asstt. Prof. , ITS College GZB (India) ABSTRACT With the advent internet in the 1990s to the present day facilities of ubiquitous computing, the internet has changed the computing world in a drastic way. It has traveled from the concept of parallel computing to distribute computing to grid computing and recently to cloud computing. Although the idea of cloud computing has been around for quite some time, it is an emerging field of computer science. Some of the major firms like Amazon, Microsoft and Google have implemented the “CLOUD” and have been using it to speed up their business. In this paper we will discuss Distributed scheme and Different algorithm to provide security of the data in cloud to prevent Data access from unauthorized access. Keywords: Cloud Computing, Security Algorithm, For Security I. INTRODUCTION Cloud computing can be defined as a computing environment where computing needs by one party can be outsourced to another party and when need be arise to use the computing power or resources like database or emails, they can access them via internet. Cloud computing [1, 2] is a recent trend in IT that moves computing and data away from desktop and portable PCs into large data centers. The main advantage of cloud computing is that customers do not have to pay for infrastructure, its installation, required man power to handle such infrastructure and maintenance. The rapid deployment [1] of cloud computing promises network users with elastic, abundant, and on-demand cloud services.

Characteristics for a service to be considered “Cloud” are: o On-demand self-service. The ability for an end user to sign up and receive services without the long delays that have characterized traditional IT o Broad network access. Ability to access the service via standard platforms (desktop, laptop, mobile, etc.) o Resource pooling. Resources are pooled across multiple customers using virtualization (the ability to increase computing efficiency). Services that can apply for resource pooling: data storage services, processing services and bandwidth provided services. o Rapid elasticity. Scalability and fast provisioning a cloud service or application isn't limited to what a particular server can cope with; it can automatically expand or contract its capacity as needed.

  • Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Application Platform As a Service, Worldwide 24 March 2016 | ID:G00277028
    Gartner Reprint https://www.gartner.com/doc/reprints?id=1-321CNJJ&ct=160328&st=sb (http://www.gartner.com/home) LICENSED FOR DISTRIBUTION Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Application Platform as a Service, Worldwide 24 March 2016 | ID:G00277028 Analyst(s): Paul Vincent, Yefim V. Natis, Kimihiko Iijima, Anne Thomas, Rob Dunie, Mark Driver Summary Application platform technology in the cloud continues to be the center of growth as IT planners look to exploit cloud for the development and delivery of multichannel apps and services. We examine the leading enterprise vendors for these platforms. Market Definition/Description Platform as a service (PaaS) is defined as application infrastructure functionality enriched with cloud characteristics and offered as a service. Application platform as a service (aPaaS) is a PaaS offering that supports application development, deployment and execution in the cloud, encapsulating resources such as infrastructure and including services such as those for data management and user interfaces. An aPaaS offering that is designed to support the enterprise style of applications and application projects (high availability, disaster recovery, external service access, security and technical support) is enterprise aPaaS. This market includes only companies that provide public aPaaS offerings. Gartner identifies two classes of aPaaS: high-control, typically third-generation language (3GL)-based and used by IT departments for sophisticated applications such as microservice-based applications; and high-productivity, typically model-driven and used either by IT or citizen developers for standardized application patterns such as those focused on data collection and access. Vendors providing only aPaaS-enabling software without the associated cloud service — cloud-enabled application platforms — are not considered in this Magic Quadrant.
