Productization module

Does anyone know what this is?

Seems it may enable Javascript Runner event action.

My SWAG is that it’s for partners who develop their products on top of Kinetic. @Callum_Stott can answer if Precise uses this module for things like their Advanced Project module. His Monday is ending now, so we may have to wait for a bit.

I am not aware of us using the Productization module, or any features activated by the module, anymore.

IIRC, it was used to enable us, and others with the module licensed, to effectively develop Windows Form / Classic UI custom layers in a layer between Base and Customization layers - which was very important at the time as layer stacking was not supported as it is within Kinetic UIs.

Not that I am aware of. We used to have access to some additional JavaScript running capabilities within Application Studio, in the very early Kinetic days, along with everyone else but AFAIK, they weren’t limited to any specific license and were removed for everyone at the same time. I did at one point do a find all search to see if I could find any references to the old widgets in base forms and similar and was not able to.

In general, we aim to use standard Application Studio approaches whenever practical. When we have had to execute JavaScript code, AFAIK, it’s always been via the same approaches mentioned within other threads here.

maybe its an obsolete license now but does appear that they used it’s guid to hide the JSRunner action

I believe that I am describing this correctly… if you have this module, you have the ability to create a “product” level of customization.. this comes between the base code and the custom layer…

. . . . Personalization layer - Your users’ personalization
. . . Custom layer - YOUR customization - you can customize botht he base and product layers
. . Product layer - a special type of customization
. Base code - all the base code that is delievered with each version

so… most customers will not need to have this.

Nice find. I have just had a look, and I can see that ‘ep-embedded-app’ / ‘Javascript runner widget’. It’s not what I was thinking of that we used previously (a JavaScript event node). We don’t currently use it. From what I can see, I think it is more embedding applications rather than running JavaScript within the main form.

We might be doing some more rich Kinetic UI extensions/customizations to help visualize more Project and Contract data in the new year. If so, I expect we will review this and all other avenues. If/when I am able to share details, I’ll try to here.

I’m not sure if you are correct on your description of what “productization” is or is not, but I’m not worried about that.

What I am interested in, is the js runner widget, which is very much misnamed.
(No… it’s not a javascript widget lol)

What it actually is, is an embedded app widget (iframe) with built in epicor plumbing for bidirectional comms, and even publish and subscribe.

I am VERY much interested in this, and how to purchase it. The design time is locked behind that license, but it’s obviously not even finished for that piece (design time) anyway after looking at the code lol. The json portion does work though.

Would you mind doing some digging and get whatever info you can find on how we can legally make that module available for use?

It’s pretty awesome.
