e-Primac is
a web browser user interface to the Primac system. This session will
cover features of the new e-Primac and why Primac users
should plan on migrating to it. Release 12 is the foundation release
underneath e-Primac, so migrating to e-Primac will
have different ramifications, depending on the release in use. |
|
| |
|
|
e-Primac uses
IBM’s Redback as a COM object to connect to the IBM U2 database
and MS IIS as the webpage server and a mixture of Microsoft ASP,
XML and JavaScript to create a webpage for each existing Primac screen.
The underlying file structures, reporting, and business logic processes
do not change from Rev 12. |
|
| |
|
|
Topics covered will include:
|
|
| |
|
|
 |
Road map of the sequence
of events for migrating to e-Primac from 10A, 10B, 11, or
12. From this, you will be able to determine your starting point
for moving forward. |
|
| |
|
|
|
Rules of thumb for sizing the web-server
on which e-Primac will reside - most likely a separate server
from your main PRIMAC server; web server software required, Redback
licenses. |
|
| |
|
|
|
Technical considerations – bringing
user-written modifications forward; customization of e-Primac |

The goal
of this year’s Panels is a little different from previous years.
Not only will we discuss what is working, but we’ll also discuss
what is not working and how the system needs to be changed to take
PRIMAC to the next level.
From each session we will be compiling the top 5 suggestions / recommendations
that are needed to take PRIMAC to the next level. All of the suggestions
and recommendations will be prioritized at the PUG Business Meeting.
The final prioritized list will be given to Vercom. Once Vercom knows
the amount of annual PMR revenues for 2004, it will be able to commit
a defined portion of that toward these PUG requested projects. Vercom
is committed to reviewing and sizing each project, then developing
the most important ones first. Vercom’s R&D priorities
are a based on not only PUG input, but also market trends, and competitive
offerings and directions. Don’t miss out on this opportunity
to express your ideas! |
