Tools and Providers

GENESIS64's Workbench can save all of your tools, application providers, and settings with your projects in their project files so that you can reopen and reuse the project easily.

 

A project is typically stored where the servers are running but, in actuality, several servers may need to be accessed in order to run the different displays at an enterprise. As long as you have defined the servers' connections, those connections are stored with the project, too.

 

Centralized security allows all GENESIS64 operations to be secured, which can be adopted by OEM customers. Security Server limits access permissions to projects and plug-in, including file access to create, modify, or read only. Historical data are secured with an audit trail. It also allows you to secure OEM operations. For more information, refer to Security.

 

The Workbench is designed for concurrent configuration by multiple development team members over the internet. It follows the optimistic concurrency model; there are no database locks. Multiple application servers and databases can be configured simultaneously. An additional ICONICS Workbench Toolkit can also be used, to create plug-in from third-party and OEM content providers.

Providers in the Workbench

Development and runtime modes of all installed and licensed ICONICS GENESIS64 products can be accessed and used in the Workbench.
