Programming Tools<br />

Objectives - In this chapter we will equip you with specific tools that will enable you to<br />

understand and build e.<strong>net</strong> solutions applications faster and with greater ease. We will<br />

discuss the Software Development Kit (SDK) and the e.<strong>net</strong> Diagnostics suite.<br />

You now have a better idea of what e.<strong>net</strong> solutions programming requires. Before we<br />

examine the various classes and methods available in e.<strong>net</strong> solutions, we need to introduce<br />

a few tools that will greatly assist your learning of and programming with e.<strong>net</strong> solutions.<br />

Most of this chapter will be focused on the e.<strong>net</strong> Diagnostics suite that can be installed as<br />

an add-on to the core SYSPRO 6.0 system, from Issue 010 and onwards.<br />

4.1. SYSPRO Software Development Kit (SDK)<br />

One of the biggest programming resources already produced by SYSPRO for<br />

programmers and developers is the Software Development Kit Documentation. This is<br />

accessible from within the SYSPRO program (click on help, then click on SYSPRO<br />

SDK). This will load the SDK documentation help file, which is full of information and<br />

resources related to programming and development in e.<strong>net</strong> solutions.<br />

To access the latest version of the SDK from the online SupportZone, use the<br />

"Developers" link from the Key Topics drop down list and select Open/Download: SDK<br />

Documentation<br />

The SDK documentation will be more useful to you once you have finished reading this<br />

book. It is an excellent reference resource and we encourage you to make full use of it as<br />

part of your learning process.<br />

4.2. e.<strong>net</strong> Diagnostics Suite<br />

With the release of SYSPRO 6.0 Issue 010 comes a great diagnostic and programming<br />

tool, the e.<strong>net</strong> Diagnostics suite. This is a stand alone addition to the SYSPRO system that<br />

will aid you in using e.<strong>net</strong> solutions business objects and creating and testing code your<br />

own applications.<br />

In the following sections we will be referring to use of the e.<strong>net</strong> Diagnostics suite,<br />

particularly in regard to forming XmlIn and XmlOut statements and testing particular<br />

custom Xml statements. It is also a useful tool for familiarizing yourself with the business<br />

objects available for programming with e.<strong>net</strong> solutions.
