Notrix

Notrix, a 4GL for Lotus Notes, lets you do complex manipulation of Lotus Notes data WITHOUT Lotus Notes API or 'C' programming. As a Lotus Notes database administrator or applications designer, you quickly develop applications that easily manipulate Lotus Notes database documents and their fields.

Within Lotus Notes, you compose a program document, store it in a Notes database, and schedule it to run automatically on the Lotus Notes server via the Lotus Notes Name and Address Book. The program accesses Lotus documents by searching views and manipulates fields by reading/writing documents in a Lotus Notes database. Notrix runs on the Lotus Notes server and uses the Lotus Notes front-end.

Notrix Features an Event Manager, an active information agent that provides real-time 'roll-up' and movement of Notes documents along with real-time update of activities within both Lotus Notes and related external sources (such as DB/2 database, for example).

Notrix implements REXX, IBM's powerful command processing language that possesses a rich set of built -in functions. Over four million users know of its advantages, which include readability, available source code, and easy source-level debugging. Notrix extends the REXX language to work within Lotus Notes, also adding 23 high level functions that make it simple to manipulate Lotus Notes databases.

KEY FEATURES/BENEFITS

• Notrix is completely 'Notes-centric' and takes advantage of Lotus Notes replication and security features, giving you a distributed code base and a secure development environment.
• Notrix does not require knowledge of the Lotus Notes API or complex 'C' programming so that the development cycle is reduced by 80%, saving hundreds of hours and thousands of pounds in outside consulting and technical support time.
• With the Notrix Event Manager, you build Notrix applications that automatically trigger when documents in Lotus Notes Databases are opened,updated or deleted. Also a job log provides an audit trail for system management tracking purposes.
• Notrix supports Notes features such as Access Control Lists (ACLs), where Notrix can be used to automatically update Notes ACLs for example. Support for Rich Text Fields is also included.
• Notrix eases the implementation of large Lotus Notes data manipulation projects as it utilizes standard REXX Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs) to minimize programming time and provides sample programs to enhance ease-of-use and supply instant productivity.
• Notrix is server-based; no additional software is required on the Lotus Notes client, which means that any Lotus Notes client (Windows, OS/2, Macintosh,etc.) can be used - on a LAN or dial-up.
• An online help database, Notrix Online, is included with each copy of Notrix to streamline the development process.
