EDP provides the following on request:<br />
• the available data tables and their characteristics<br />
• the fields and the keys of a specific table<br />
• meta information on the database and on different data types<br />
(enumeration, references)<br />
Here are some of the uses of EDP:<br />
• Quick creation of simple evaluations<br />
• Data queries from other clients<br />
• Enabling external programs easy data access<br />
• Running infosystems and exporting data<br />
• Exporting data in HTML and XML<br />
• Editing any master files<br />
• Editing business transactions<br />
• Reading and translating message texts<br />
• Creation of any number of individual programs which have read and<br />
write access to abas ERP via the programming interfaces ActiveX and<br />
JEDP<br />
ActiveX<br />
You can also read and edit data objects in abas ERP via the ActiveX<br />
interface. It is possible to obtain read and write access to the abas<br />
database from any MS Windows workstation (e.g. MS Office). In<br />
addition, the features which have been implemented for the EDP interface<br />
can also be used for the ActiveX interface.<br />
Java API JEDP<br />
As additional programming interfaces there is a Java API for read and<br />
write access to the abas database via EDP. This provides the same<br />
functions as the ActiveX interface, but can be run in every Java<br />
environment independent of the platform.<br />
Data export / Data import<br />
You can use the edpexport.sh tool if you need to access data from abas<br />
ERP more quickly, e.g. if you need to edit the data from an ASCII file<br />
using an external program. It is used for the direct and easy output to text<br />
files via EDP.<br />
The program edpexport.sh is based on the EDP interface and, therefore,<br />
you have all of the selection options which are available in the abas ERP<br />
core or the EDP interface. Using this you can export all data from abas<br />
ERP and also multifaceted meta data. Using the program edpinfosys.sh<br />
you can run infosystems and export their results. Using both programs<br />
you can format the exported data in many ways in order to simplify the<br />
further processing in other applications.<br />
