ACCELL Key Features

ACCELL/SQL

ACCELL/SQL is an integrated rapid application development suite for building a wide range of character, host and Web-based applications. ACCELL/SQL delivers sophisticated, data-rich applications on time and on budget – providing application developers with the most productive, easy-to-use development suite for getting applications built fast. In certain cases developers can reduce their application development time by 50 percent due to ACCELL/SQL’s powerful components.

Using ACCELL/SQL, development teams can easily construct sophisticated datacentric forms and business logic with minimal development time.

Building on its reputation as one of the most productive and fast application development tools of its kind, ACCELL/SQL enables IT organizations to quickly deliver high-performance client/server applications with built-in intelligence.

ACCELL/Web

ACCELL/Web, the newest product of the ACCELL family of rapid application development systems, transforms ACCELL/SQL applications into fully graphical native Web applications in just a matter of days or weeks. For a fraction of the cost and time it would take to rewrite an ACCELL/SQL application for the Web, ACCELL/Web quickly and easily provides a graphical interface to existing business applications and makes them viewable in a browser anytime, anywhere. Additionally, ACCELL/Web uses the same, proven ACCELL/SQL application code, significantly reducing application maintenance costs and increasing developer productivity.

ACCELL/Web provides the ability to develop and deploy Web applications based on existing ACCELL/SQL applications with only minor modifications to the original application logic. Using the Java platform, ACCELL/Web modernizes character-based applications for the Web environment without a rewrite of the application, as the new ACCELL/ Web applications share the same proven ACCELL/SQL applications already used in production today.

ACCELL IDS

ACCELL IDS (Integrated Development System) is a UNIX-based application development system designed to maximize developer productivity through a tightly integrated combination of 4GL technologies. ACCELL/IDS is specifically designed for use with the Unify DataServer ELS database.

With ACCELL/IDS, developers can efficiently solve programming tasks using:

  • Visual application generator
  • Complete 4GL
  • Unify DataServer ELS

Developers can create application prototypes quickly with the ACCELL/IDS visual application generator, and efficiently convert them into business applications without having to start from the beginning of the application development process. With the application generator, up to 80 percent of most business applications can be completed using a simple fill-in-the-blanks approach. ACCELL/IDS features event-driven 4GL that allows developers to program-by-exception, writing code only for custom functions not built with the application generator. The 4GL of ACCELL/IDS reduces programming time significantly compared to conventional 3GLS.
