Using FOP to Handle Formatting of Large Text Blocks in DataWindow Output

Visual Guard: Role Based Access Control solution

With Visual Guard:
• Add security features to your PowerBuilder and .NET applications
Define which end-users can access your applications.
Manage roles and permissions to determine what what users can do within the application.
• Make Security independent from the application development lifecycle:
Grant permissions anytime while the application is in production.
• Delegate access management to end-users with a web console, and free the hands of the development team.
• Comply with reporting and auditing requirements (SOX, CMMI, ITIL):
Who has permissions? Who granted them? Who did what in the application?
• Fast and simple integration in any new or existing application.
