Cognos PowerHouse Web

IBM® PowerHouse® Web is a server-based application development environment to write business-critical programs.

Using IBM Cognos PowerHouse Web in conjunction with IBM Cognos PowerHouse 4GL, you can now build Web applications using the same robust, tried-and-tested, tools already used by thousands of organizations to build their core business-critical applications.

• Develop a fully functional Web program, with add, search, change and delete capabilities, using as few as four statements.
• Central to PowerHouse 4GL is a strong data dictionary, where you define all of the corporate data you want your applications to be able to read or write.
• Valuable business rules can be included, such as data validation checks and formatting, together with user help and expanded descriptions.
• Sophisticated business data processing models.
• Referential integrity, audit trails and cascading deletes are just three examples of the type of business rules which the processing models can automate for you.
• Write applications that have full read/write access to both relational and non-relational data – within the same program.
• PowerHouse generates a default HTML interface for each program. It also provides options for you to include familiar edit controls, such as checkboxes, radio lists, and drop-down pick lists, in the default HTML interface.
