New Features in EPC 870 version of the Framework

Framework on iPads and Android Touch Devices

Framework web applications can be run on iPads and Android touch devices. To enable touch friendly functionality required in touch devices, use the web startup URL parameter TOUCH= to start your Framework application.

See Touch Device Considerations.

Web Configuration Assistant

The Web Configuration Assistant helps you configure the Framework for your web servers when you are starting VLF web development for the first time.

The web Configuration Assistant can be accessed from either the (Framework) menu, or from the (Framework) --> (Framework Properties) --> Framework Details tab.

It can be used instead of the Framework developer preferences and VLF Administrator Console, if preferred.

VLF-WEB Enhancements - Stronger WAM Support

You can now create mini filters using WAMs. See RDMLX for a WAM Mini Filter.

WAMs can handle Web Application help. See Help Text for Web Applications and the shipped WAM UF_SY0002 for a basic example.

Weblets that use the jQuery UI visual design themes can now be used in VLF WAM Filters and Command Handlers. Simply use vlf_layout_v2 as the WAM's layout Weblet and apply a jQuery Theme to the WAM. See LANSA for the Web Guide for more details about Theming WAMs. Other style changes may be experienced when using vlf_layout_v2.

VLF-WIN administrators can now produce a .csv (comma separated variable) file which contains a complete list of all the users on the system and their authority to every object on the system. This file can be viewed in MS Excel.

To produce the report, use the User Authorities Report File button on the VLF-WIN (Administration) --> (Users) screen.
