Enable Runtime Explorer (or simply Rex) is a runtime component that helps developers with their development, debugging and technical support work. The introduction of our new Automatic Source Change technology means that those frustrating iterations between runtime and designtime are now ancient history! Read the article in PBDJ!

Enable Source Change

Security and accuracy are a priority for automatic source changes. Each code change is a documented ESC transaction, so it can be undone and repeated. Before each modification, the relevant libraries are automatically backed up by ESC. SCC systems are also supported, with automatic check-out if desired.

ESC’s sophisticated parser easily identifies the code to be changed, checking the consistency of old values to avoid possible conflicts with concurrent developers. In addition, ESC overcomes tolerance issues to ensure the accuracy of move/resize coordinate changes.

New Development Cycle

Working in runtime, you often find problems with the business logic, properties, SQL statements, the user interface etc. Before now, this marked the start of the trial-and-error cycle:

• observe the unsatisfactory result
• exit, abandoning the current state
• make best-effort code changes
• run the application, log in and re-open the necessary windows (thus restoring the state of the application)
• repeat until happy (…or exhausted!)

Rex eliminates this trial-and-error effort, improving productivity and accuracy. Now you see the problem, fix it with Rex, review your changes and then let ESC apply them automatically to your source code. It really is that simple! Click here to see the rolling demo.
