Publication Release: 4.10 ProvideX ODBC Int roduction ProvideX ODBC products deliver third party access to ProvideX data. They enable any ODBC-compliant application on any Windows platform to communicate with your ProvideX database from any location on the network. Currently, two ProvideX ODBC configurations are available for download: • Local ODBC (with read only or read/write capabilities). • Client/Server ODBC (TCP-based, part of the Professional or eCommerce bundle). These products are available separately from the base ProvideX installation and require separate licenses, installation files, and activation procedures. Contact your dealer/distributor or visit the ProvideX website at www.pvx.com for the latest information on ODBC product options and licensing. This document discusses the basic concepts and features of ProvideX ODBC. It covers installation and configuration procedures for both local driver and client-server versions, defining/accessing data files, and use of the ODBC driver to access ProvideX data from other languages and applications.

Reviewing & running 2 A&W events Alerts & Workflow Version 10 These instructions are designed to be used with version 10 of Sage Alerts & Workflow; if you are using an earlier version, please upgrade to v10 before proceeding. When Your Action is Required Whenever you are required to take an action in configuring A&W, you will see text formatted in the following manner: ➢ Click on the “Perform Email Test” button in the toolbar. Technical Requirements For installation & configuration: ➢ Familiarity with Windows Services ➢ Knowledge of ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) ➢ Email account configuration knowledge ➢ Familiarity with the Sage 100 database schema ➢ Crystal and/or SSRS report design (to design events that generate forms & reports) A&W events can be configured to write information back into a database; to do so, A&W embeds the following API toolsets which require corresponding expertise: 1 ➢ RESTful Web Service API ➢ Visual Basic Scripting engine ➢ SQL Statement execution ➢ Stored Procedure execution ➢ Program (*.exe) submission ➢ XML generation ➢ Exporting data to flat files (e.g., csv) Alerts & Workflow does not need to be installed on the same server as Sage 100.

If you want to try something, just use the playground page. The simpler markup is easily accessible via quickbuttons, too. Basic Text Formatting DokuWiki supports bold, italic, underlined and monospaced texts. Of course you can combine all these. DokuWiki supports **bold**, //italic//, __underlined__ and ''monospaced'' texts. Of course you can **__//''combine''//__** all these. superscript You can use subscript and , too. You can use <sub>subscript</sub> and <sup>superscript</sup>, too. You can mark something as deleted as well. You can mark something as <del>deleted</del> as well. Paragraphs are created from blank lines. If you want to force a newline without a paragraph, you can use two backslashes followed by a whitespace or the end of line. This is some text with some linebreaks Note that the two backslashes are only recognized at the end of a line or followed by a whitespace \\this happens without it. This is some text with some linebreaks\\ Note that the two backslashes are only recognized at the end of a line\\ or followed by\\ a whitespace \\this happens without it.

    Liste de langages de programmation Le but de cette liste de langages de programmation est d'inclure tous les langages de programmation existants, qu'ils soient actuellement utilisés ou historiques, par ordre alphabétique. Ne sont pas listés ici les langages informatiques de représentation de données tels que XML, HTML ou YAML. Par ailleurs, cette liste répertorie les langages de programmation, et non leurs implémentations -ou "Framework"- (par exemple : JRuby et IronRuby sont deux implémentations différentes du même langage Ruby).
