FiveTech Software tech support forums

Antonio,

My application has been "under revision" for the past year. Now it is tested full time in an actual business where it is used throughout the day, non-stop.

This is the version which is built with Harbour and Microsoft Visual Studio 2013.

Other than the expected bugs from such a large application ( EXE files run about 10 MB in size ), and such massive internal optimization, it is running quite well. My client is very happy with the performance, and soon we will put it into far more companies.

I'm glad we made this shift. I have a parallel build using xHarbour ( .com ) for compatibility with older ADS systems, and it runs perfectly also. However, I think Visual Studio is still the wave of the future, especially with the new direction of Microsoft.

Next step ... cloud based ( ??? )

Tim,

I am happy to know that you are satisfied with the results

Cloud based... There are many possibilities. You can review FiveWeb

FiveWeb is completed and working ?

Do we have a solution for Web developement like Xbase++ ?

Antonio,

Gagan from India has developed a complete cloud based ERP using FiveWeb:

He explained in his posts that they are very satisfied with the results.

Unfortunately there are very few users using FIveWeb. Maybe if you start using it it will grow as much
as needed same as you did with the ADO RDD and after all, FiveWeb is free

FiveWeb is free and available from:

It works CGI ? Isnt this a security problem in most sites?

How do install it to test ?

Can we use any rdd with it?

Can we maintain live connections (sessions) ?

Antonio,

> It works CGI ? Isnt this a security problem in most sites?

No, it is not in case if you are authorized. I keep FiveWeb examples at dreamhost in USA where CGIs are allowed
and it is quite cheap:

> How do install it to test ?

You can develop and try FiveWeb locally on your own computer, (which it is perfect for development)
I suggest you to install XAMPP:

Activate apache once XAMPP has been installed. Once your app is working fine, then you copy
your FiveWeb app in dreamhost or alternative of your choice. FiveWeb both support Windows
and Linux.

> Can we use any rdd with it?

Yes, of course. You can use any RDD or code that you want to.

> Can we maintain live connections (sessions) ?

See how PHP does it and think about a similar way with Harbour.

The key to understand FIveWeb is to understand that there are processes that run
in the server only, and some other processes that run in the browser only.

Combining these two forces, you can do increible things with FiveWeb

What if you have to install the package in the customer's server (the most likely, at least here in Italia)?

I also use CGI sometimes but I think it's not the way to go.

Enrico,

It depends on your needs and on your budget, as if you own a dedicated server then you can do whatever you want or need on it

Building this with Harbour / MSVC 2013, it all loads and appears to work well. However, if I take the scroll bar slider and move it to the bottom, then click on a record to highlight it, I get the following error:
Error description: Error ADSCDX/5018 The handle given was not recognized by Advantage. Verify specified handle is open/active.
The error is generated from Database.prg, line 156.

Thanks for pointing out this problem. Calling OrdKeyGoTo() when the Alias is unordered, is resulting in run-time error in Harbour version of ADSRDD whereas there is no error when using xHarbour version of ADSRDD. Suitable work-around is now incorporated in xbrowse.prg and database.prg of FWH15.10
