Client-server based application in the dyalog APL environment

ABSTRACT

This paper is concerned with the problem of creating server-based application for the Dyalog APL environment on the example of "Agent". The "Agent" is a new common tool for the portfolio management system SOFIA® (product of APL Italiana®), and GAMA (product of Infostroy). Briefly, "Agent" can be called as a "third arm of a customer" or an "extra user". This application executes the user-defined tasks in the system based on a specified schedule. The task is any operation (or a sequence of operations), which the user can produce in the portfolio management systems.There are three parts of the "Agent":• The "Agent" itself, which is a database server and application manager.• The "Control application" is the user interface and the client to the Agent's database.• The "Slave application" is the subsystem managed by the Agent to process tasks.
