Genero Enterprise 5.01  Now available

Irving, Texas – February, 28th 2025

We are pleased to announce the release of Genero Enterprise 5.01. Get ready for offline operations
with Genero Web Apps and DB Sync, a high-level database synchronization service. You can also take
advantage of additional functions.

• Genero Web Apps
• DB Sync
• Additional improvments
• Genero Enterprise 5.01 Compatibility

1. GENERO WEB APPS   
                                                                                                                                                                     

Offline-Ready Applications for Access from Anywhere.

Genero  Web Apps (GWA) empower users to run lightweight, offline-ready applications directly within
a browser — no server connection needed. Perfect for challenging environments like remote areas or
industrial spaces, GWA keeps data flowing smoothly even when connectivity is limited.

KEY BENEFITS

• True Offline Functionality: Built-in SQLite database stores data locally syncing with the server
  when a connection is available.
  
  
• Simple Deployment: Applications can be packaged, downloaded, and deployed using a GAS or
  web server without the need for app store approvals, cutting delays and streamlining updates.
  
  
• Multi-Platform: Genero Web Apps applications work seamlessly across desktop, mobile, and
  webbook platforms, providing flexibility for any device.
  
  
• Seamless User Experience Across Devices: Genero Web Apps behaves like a native app,
  supporting users with offline capabilities across desktop, iOS, Android, and more.
  
  

PRACTICAL USE CASES

• Reliable Offline Workflows: Ideal for scenarios like remote data entry, inventory management
  in warehouses, or on-site field operations where connectivity is intermittent.
  
  
• High scalability: No permanent server connection. The workload is offline in the browser and
  scales to millions of connections (e.g. Offline ordering to the server when local data entry is
  completed).
  
  

SERVER CONNECTION

Your applications work perfectly offline, nevertheless you can get or synchronize your data on your server.

• via REST web services,
  
  
• via REST database synchronization service (DB Sync).
  
  
• via “runOnServer” Front Call:  Execute Server-Side code with Remote Display.
  
  

2. DB SYNC(*)   
                                                                                                                                                                     

Powerful Database Synchronization for Offline Environments.

DB Sync equips users with a high-level database synchronization service
that efficiently reconciles local data with a central server, making it ideal for applications operating offline.
Whether gathering data in no-network zones, industrial areas, or buildings with signal interference,
DB Sync keeps data safe and ready to sync whenever connectivity is restored.

KEY BENEFITS

• Smart Sync Control: Easily configure specific tables, data filters, and synchronization strategies
  for each app, ensuring efficient data handling.
  
  
• Advanced Conflict Management: Built with optimistic concurrency control, DB Sync gracefully
  manages concurrent data changes.
  
  
• Designed for Offline-First Environments: Engineered to support reliable operation in
  low-connectivity settings, DB Sync allows users to work offline and then sync their data seamlessly.
  
  

PRACTICAL USE CASES

• Field Operations and Remote Workflows: DB Sync enables robust offline data capture for field services, warehousing,
  and inspections in areas with limited or no connectivity.
  
  
• Resilient Data Collection Systems: Ideal for applications like inventory management or site assessments where
  consistent, reliable data capture is critical, even without network access.
  
  

3. ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS   
                                                                                                                                                                     

• GENERO IDENTITY PROVIDER ENHANCEMENT
  
  The Genero Identity Provider proposes additional features to handle disconnected applications
  (GMI, GMA, GWA).
  
  
• GENERO APPLICATION SERVER ENHANCEMENT
  
  The Genero Application Server proposes new features to ease CORS management issues.
  
  
• VS CODE EXTENSION OPTIMIZATION
  
  VS Code extension uses now the language server technology. This implies fast responses
  on VS Code front-end request:
  
  • go to references is aware of all files in the workspace.
  • diagnostic is now sensitive for inter-module dependencies.
  • No more .42m file creations for the extension.
    
    
• LATEST SUPPORTED DATABASE VERSIONS
  
  
  • Oracle MySQL 8.4 LTS (Long Term Support).
  • Informix 15 using CSDK 4.50.

4. COMPATIBILITY   
                                                                                                                                                                     

• All future bug fixes will now be carried out on Genero Enterprise 5.01 and not on version 5.00.
  
  
• The P-Code 5.01 is fully compatible with version 5.00. Existing applications compiled with 5.00
  can be run with version 5.01.
