Leading the Evolution ™ DATA SHEET ACUXUI® Business Challenge Many IT operations have to balance the need to extend their application’s reach and functionality with the ability to reuse as much of existing resources as possible. With AcuXUI, you can write a single graphical program and run it anywhere - on UNIX®, Linux®, Macintosh® or Windows®. Suppose users could run your program as a Java applet, what would that mean to your business? A larger market; Reduced maintenance; Happier customers. With AcuXUI, you execute graphical COBOL programs from a Java command line. This lets you run your program on any machine that supports the Java Runtime Environment. At long last, you can run the same graphical user interface (GUI) on virtually any operating system, and you can do it from COBOL. Product Overview AcuXUI is a user interface engine that allows graphical ACUCOBOLGT® programs to exhibit their user interfaces on multiple platforms, including UNIX and Linux. Rather than relying on Windows technologies to display graphical controls, AcuXUI takes advantage of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE), which can run on virtually any operating system. For this reason, you can run graphical ACUCOBOL-GT programs on platforms such as UNIX, Linux and Macintosh as well as Windows. Programmed accordingly, you can even run the same program, without modification, on all of these platforms. Key Benefits Give UNIX or Linux applications a GUI Deliver the same graphical program on multiple platforms Run your program on any machine that supports the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.5 or later Deploy COBOL programs from the Java command line and Eclipse Deploy COBOL programs from a Java applet on a Web page Detailed Feature Overview AcuXUI is a cross-platform User Interface engine, you can deploy AcuXUI in three ways: You can invoke it from a command line on the server You can combine it with AcuConnect® to run a COBOL program on a remote server You can run it inside a browser as an applet This lets you run your application virtually anywhere, any time. GRAPHICAL DEVELOPMENT Graphical elements - such as windows, entry fields and radio buttons - are described in the COBOL program with ACUCOBOL-GT. (GT stands for Graphical Technology). If you already have a graphical ACUCOBOL-GT program that is designed for Windows, you can run it under Java with just a few modifications. PORTABILITY With AcuXUI, your graphical programs are portable to any machine with the JRE version 1.5 or later. Most operating systems, including UNIX, Linux, Macintosh and Windows, support the JRE. Many mobile devices do as well. Linux and UNIX clients require a graphical desktop, such as X Server, to run the JRE. With such ubiquitous support, you can run your UI virtually anywhere. RUNS ON JAVA When you run your program with AcuXUI, the runtime directs the JRE to create graphical controls on a Java desktop. Although there are subtle differences between the Java and Windows desktops, most graphical controls run equally well under Java, and can be deployed in multiple environments using the same source code. JAVA APPLET DEPLOYMENT AcuXUI can be deployed as a Java applet to display a COBOL program inside a Web browser. This gives your end users the ability to access your program from any machine with a Web browser. (This deployment requires AcuConnect on the server. ) EASE OF USE Deploying graphical programs with AcuXUI is as easy as 1, 2, 3 1. You install ACUCOBOL-GT Version 8 on the server and you install a Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE) JRE version 1.5.0 or later on each client DATA SHEET | ACUXUI® 2. You prepare your program to use the supported features, controls, properties, and styles 3. You run your program from the Java command line on the server. Other Key Features Supports over a dozen graphical controls and features: Bars, Bitmaps, Check boxes, Combo boxes, Entry fields, Frames, Grids, Labels, List boxes, Menus, Push buttons, Radio buttons, Scroll bars, Status bars, Toolbars and Treeviews. AcuXUI also supports the W$ library routines, such as W$FONT and W$PALETTE, as well as the C$SYSTEM library routine. Product Specifications and System Requirements Graphical COBOL applications can be run on any platform with a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.5 or later. The possibilities include: UNIX, Linux, Windows, Macintosh AcuBench integration: AcuBench has been integrated with AcuXUI. You build your COBOL program and GUI as usual using AcuBench, then you click a coffee cup icon to run it with AcuXUI. You specify the name and location of the AcuXUI JAR file in the environment settings for the project. Debugger: AcuXUI supports the the “-d” option on the Java command line as well.
