Are you considering upgrading or have recently upgraded to Synergy/DE 11? Phil Bratt presents some of the features included in this new version and why you should be taking advantage of them. Topics covered here include new system requirements, REV11 licensing, enhanced security, improved resilience, and many of the new features in Synergy 11. This webinar was presented on November 20, 2019.

One of the most common things that the developers of Synergy applications have been focusing on in recent years is opening up their Synergy databases for use by other applications, typically for reporting, dashboards and other BI-related objectives. To assist developers Synergex have created a sample environment that replicates Synergy data to a SQL Server database in near-to-real-time, and all of that code is available via an open source license. This session will walk you through the capabilities of that environment and show you how to get started with data replication.

Representational State Transfer (REST) is an architectural style that defines a set of constraints and properties based on HTTP. Web Services conforming to the REST style provide interoperability between computer systems on private networks and the Internet. Adopting the principles of REST has quickly become the accepted way of exposing flexible, easy to use, performant, and secure APIs and building applications that consume those APIs. Whether you’re building a desktop, server, web, or mobile app, RESTful services almost certainly have a place at the very core of your development strategy.

Use load testing to identify concurrency failures.

No Single Point of Failure

This presentation will focus on various new features that have been added to Synergy/DE in recent versions and will also present information about features and enhancements being delivered in the up-coming Synergy/DE V11.

One of the most anticipated new Synergy/DE features is the automation of the distribution of license keys to new and existing systems, and we’re getting very close to releasing that feature now. This presentation will walk you through what the new “REV11” licensing environment is capable of and will demonstrate it in practical use.

When you upgrade to REV11 licensing, or add products or users to an existing license, your license server will automatically download and install your product keys on the next weekly poll. If you need your product keys immediately, you can force your license server to update your keys using SynConfig. If you need more help, please contact support@synergex.com

When you install REV11 licensing on a new Synergy License Server, you'll have to enter an install code. This video will show you how you can do this using the SynConfig utility, or by using lmu -install. If you need more help, please contact support@synergex.com

REV11 licensing brings big changes to Synergy/DE license management. REV11 licensing is used with Synergy/DE 11, and it can also be used with Synergy/DE 9.3-10.3 via the REV11 licensing upgrade package. Learn more about REV11 at https://www.synergex.com/rev11-faq/

Roger Andrews, Marty Lewis, and Jeff Green discuss the biggest security threats today and how to protect ourselves from these threats. https://www.masergy.com/blog/the-top-five-cybersecurity-threats-to-watch-out-for-now/ https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/hub/4095338/microsoft-lifecycle-policy https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata https://www.openssl.org/policies/releasestrat.html

In our last video we showed how to move between data types. In this video we illustrate how to move data between different routines. This video uses functions to demonstrate, but you'll also learn a bit about subroutines and methods too! This is also your introduction to parameters and the 'n' data type.

Synergy DevPartner Conference 2018: During the workshop, we’ll walk you through creating a Harmony Core-based RESTful web services API from the ground up. We’ll provide you with the Harmony Core framework and documentation, along with some sample data and a repository that describes that data, as well as some samples of “back end” code that represents things you might already have in your own environment (like library routines and xfServerPlus methods you’d like to reuse). Beyond that, it’s up to you. You’ll work in a Synergy development environment (using Visual Studio 2017 as your IDE) to build a RESTful web services API from the ground up. We won’t build any client applications during the workshop, but we’ll show you how to debug and test your APIs using a couple of different approaches: Visual Studio’s unit testing capabilities and a third-party HTTP test client application.
