The platform’s log, optimization, and management infrastructure enable the system to be monitored at all times and from any location, analyzing various processes and quickly correcting or optimizing possible problems in system administration.
Data Security
The three-tier architecture allows the database to be separated from the user network and the internet.
The use of an optimized internal communication protocol makes unauthorized attempts to interfere with the application server harder.
The system’s flexible and easy-to-use network architecture can easily incorporate firewalls.
Advanced authorization infrastructure prevents data and processes from being viewed and executed by unauthorized people.
The users’ data is also protected against access over the internet through VPN and SSL.
High Efficiency With Three-Tier Architecture
The Canias-ERP system has a three-tier architecture consisting of a client, an application server, and a database. This three-tier structure offers the following performance features:
The client tier does not contain codes related to the business process. This tier is only responsible for using the user interface. Accordingly, the hardware requirements for the client are also low.
With the Canias-ERP Load Balancer, multiple application servers can run simultaneously. The distribution of load by Load Balancer guarantees a constant level of performance and safety.
The application server can be scaled for companies of all sizes.
Optimized communication algorithms reduce data traffic and provide a high transfer rate.
TROIA is a fourth-generation (4GL) programming platform and language for business applications developed on Java platform by IAS. The Canias-ERP system is developed with the TROIA programming language which makes it a Java-based ERP solution.
TROIA, an object-oriented command language, can be easily learned in a very short time by people with decent technical competence. TROIA is similar in many ways to modern programming languages such as Java and .NET. The system can be programmed in just a few steps with the most effective database-oriented applications and over 500 commands and can be immediately put into use.
The TROIA development environment is fully integrated into the Canias-ERP application. No additional software or tools are required to adopt or develop new applications. The source code created with TROIA is saved and managed in a relational database. The developments done using TROIA are transformed into binary (Binary) code and are interpreted by the application server and executed on the server in Java runtime environment.
Quick Development Of Forms And Reports
The forms (screens, dialogs) and reports used in the Canias-ERP system can be easily modified or re-created. New dialogs and reports can be created with the design tool in the TROIA IDE. Buttons, database fields, checkboxes, graphic elements, tables, images, etc. are the standard components in TROIA. These components can be easily positioned with a drag-and-drop feature on a dialog window screen. The business processes and the behavior of the components can be easily improved by the easy and flexible structure of the TROIA language and the automatic completion feature (Intellisense) and the help infrastructure of the TROIA IDE.
Effective Development Environment
The TROIA IDE and Hotline Management System support all steps in the software development process. All changes made under a development project are recorded through this system. TROIA allows detection of errors through its Code Trace system, profiles, and workflow monitoring (Debug), and contributes to the minimization of possible errors during the development of the application.
Individual Report Design
The report wizard, pivot, and graphical report design tools in the user interface and the report design tool in the development environment can be used to quickly generate reports that can be accessed by individual users or all users. These reports can be created in PDF, HTML, RTF, XLS, or plain text format and printed, sent by email, or saved to the Document Management module.
Multi-Language Support For Worldwide Use
An important feature of Canias-ERP software is the multi-language support provided by the integrated translation tool. With this tool, all screen texts and notifications can be translated to all other languages without redevelopment. All screens (dialogs), reports, and messages are displayed in the language selected by the end-user when logged in to the system. Likewise, all reports can also be printed in the desired languages. (Controlled by the language code.) On the platform, several languages are supported thanks to Unicode Support (UTF8 and UTF16), including non-Latin languages such as Chinese, Korean, Persian, and Arabic.
Adaptation Of The Standard Application To Company’s Needs
A customer with the Canias-ERP Maintenance Agreement has unlimited access to the entire source code of the application and can adjust the system to their own needs. Thanks to the concept of ‘Cross’ in TROIA, the changes made affect the corresponding function derived from the standard code, and not the standard code itself. This ensures the consistency of the standard version, even when customer-specific, complex changes are made. In other words, customer-specific adaptations continue to remain after updates.
Platform Independent Database Structure
Database components such as tables or table directories that are used in the application with Online Database Administration (ODBA) can be managed and edited with the help of visual tools. Other functions of ODBA are to transfer tables and data between the same database or between different database systems and execution of structure synchronization between the table definition and the actual table structure on the database.
