Learn how the right tools can enhance efficiency for your business.
Efficient database management is essential, directly impacting both cloud and on-premises systems. Robust tools are necessary to manage and manipulate data seamlessly, ensuring smooth and efficient operations. This blog explores some of the latest advancements in database access tools available in Prophet 21. These tools provide greater flexibility, ease of use, and integration capabilities, making database management more accessible and efficient even when moving your business to the cloud.
The User-Defined Tables (UDT) feature allows you to create custom tables within Prophet 21, offering a flexible solution for storing and managing unique business data. You can define columns, set data types, and establish constraints, ensuring structured and validated data. The UDTs are integrated with the Odata API, facilitating seamless data retrieval and manipulation through the Prophet 21 API. This integration supports the development of custom applications and automations that interact with user-defined tables, enhancing database system.
Integrating UDT with Report Studio, along with the ability to create portals and widgets, enhances the application’s reporting and visualization capabilities. You can join UDTs with existing data sources to create custom reports, providing deeper insights into operations for informed decision-making. Displaying this data in portals and widgets on the home screen ensures critical information is always accessible to relevant stakeholders, optimizing database operations and improving overall efficiency.
The Stored Procedure Executor is a critical tool that allows you to run stored procedures directly from Prophet 21. This is especially beneficial for cloud customers lacking access to SQL Management Studio. Users can schedule the execution of stored procedures, automating routine tasks without manual intervention. Additionally, this solution supports the submission of custom stored procedures for review and inclusion, streamlining database management processes and reducing reliance on external tools.
The Business Rule Executor extends the Prophet 21 application’s capabilities by allowing you to run business rules outside specific events, either on an ad-hoc or scheduled basis. This helps automate routine tasks while ensuring consistent application of business logic across the organization. By leveraging the Prophet 21 API for inserting, updating, and deleting actions, the Business Rule Executor ensures secure and controlled database operations. This enhances the application’s extensibility, so businesses can implement complex business workflows without custom development.
Business rules can automate decision-making processes within your organization by creating pre-defined conditions and actions that execute automatically, providing operational consistency. These rules manage UDT, update environments, and handle API licenses; this reduces manual intervention, minimizes errors, and frees up workforce resources for more strategic activities.
The advancements in database access tools for both Prophet 21 cloud and on-premises environments offer significant benefits for your businesses. Tools like the Stored Procedure Executor, UDT, and Business Rule Executor enhance data management and automation of routine tasks, while integrating with reporting and visualization tools to provide actionable insights. By adopting these tools, businesses can simplify operations and stay one step ahead of the competition.
