Re: [U2] Business ?
To add to the other good replies We are a Unidata shop. Our core product is currently written in SB+ with a Java Servlet/JSP web interface that uses Redback (and some UniObjects). This app is being re-written in DesignBais but will still have a section (Employee Self Service) written in Java Servlets, UOJ, and Angular JS. Our core product is a mission critical Payroll/HR application for the PEO industry (Employment outsourcing the in USA). We also sell and build a variety of other products for the PEO industry that integrate with or support the core product. With the exception of a small PostGres database in one of the add-on products, there is no SQL spoken here. Most everything is stored in Unidata. We've recently merged with one of our partner companies who uses the eXist XML database. As we integrate the products over the next year or two, that data (eXist and Postgres) will be moved to Unidata. Also, outside of Unidata/UniBasic, Java is the main technology used for building solutions here. This was the case long before Oracle bought out Sun. Other than relying heavily on Java we don't use any Oracle products.

Re: [U2] Business ?
Yes, they are a large UniData house producing software and services for the PEO market, based mainly in Plymouth MA and with other regional offices in the States. They use SB+, DesignBais and a wealth of other tools. They are also a great bunch of people :) Brian -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of jeffrey Butera Sent: 28 March 2014 19:55 To: U2 Users List Subject: [U2] Business ?

[U2] Business rules, unknown to business users
Several times I've run into business rules that I find embedded in code, that are so old, that no one can remember why they were implemented or what they could possibly mean to the business. I'm thinking of encoding in some routines, a way to output the rules it's using on a periodic basis (like once a month?) so that business users are made aware of what the rules are, and can therefore comment on what they should be, or what should be removed. Anyone do this? Or have thoughts about what I'm proposing? ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
Re: [U2] Business rules, unknown to business users
My thinking is that while it is a solid idea, it would be an uphill battle at best. There are several challenges. First, how to represent the business rules so that they are clearly communicated to and through non-technical personnel. Second, to ensure that the human readable business rules are stated in such a way as to remain materially compliant to what the code is actually doing without handicapping either. Often times the most efficient way to handle something isn't exactly the most easily translated into human readable terms; an insertion sort for example. That technique in particular also could be grouped into a discussion of practical granularity. Then there's the whole issue of compliance to the standard by a team of developers, as well as compliance to the conceptual issues by the team of non-technical people, and the bridge that must necessarily be in place between the two camps to make it all work out. And finally there is the consideration of what this might cost the business organism in time and hard coin and how to measure the return on that investment.
