DataFlex Package ManagerBram Nijenkamp, Data Access EU

In the Data Access Download Center, you find a lot of DataFlex extensions, libraries, samples, tools, etc. Each of them works with a specific version of DataFlex, while your workspaces may span multiple versions.

Is there an easy way to manage this all? Yes, with the DataFlex Package Manager! A Package Manager is a tool that automates the process of maintaining your workspaces when adding components to it. The Package Manager will be released after the full release of DataFlex 2023 but see what to expect - at SCANDUC 2023!

16:10 - 16:20
Tips& Tricks - Row Level HashesMichael Mullan, PTI - Packaging Technologies & Inspection

In environments where compliance is very strict, DataFlex systems must be protected from tempering with data via external access. Row level hashing, and validating upon use, can do this and guarantee that the data as it was saved, is represented in the report. This technique is used to store pharmaceutical test result data to be compliant with US CFR Title 21.11.

16:20 - 16:30
Tips& Tricks - Offline registrationMichael Mullan, PTI - Packaging Technologies & Inspection

We have implemented a “registration” system for our application to force the installers to keep on file the installation dates and places, so we know who is using our software. Has a QR code generator, and registration can be done from a mobile phone where the PC with the installation is not permitted access to the internet.

Day 2 Friday, March 17th
09:00 - 09:45
Mixin MagicJohn Hartley, Freedom IT AB

DataFlex allows us to design our code to be reusable and we do that by creating classes. We can subclass existing classes to override or extend their behavior or create completely new classes. DataFlex offers an alternative technique for adding new behavior to a class; importing a class protocol. John’s presentation highlights a few design problems where this advanced technique might be useful and attempts to solve them with some simple mixin-magic.

09:45 - 10:15
Whats in Vincents drawerVincent Oorsprong, Data Access EU

Soon, NIS2 will become effective, and it will affect a larger group of organizations, specifically in health care, finance and (mind!) IT services. More specifically: You, as manager of an IT company, will be held responsible, and non-compliance may result in fines at 10 million Euro, or 2% of your net annual revenues.
