The IFS Solution Developer 2 is a tool created to simplify the life for all IFS developers. The Solution Developer is an extension of LCS Customization Projects using, and improving, our methodology, AQS - Application Quality Standards.
The Solution Developer is the natural starting point for all development in a customization project or support situation as it provides an integrated view of all files in the customer solution. Files in the IFS Applications archive, the customers Harvest environment and the individual users work folder are displayed in one integrated view.
The Solution Developer supports all actions necessary for Harvest 7 brokers, in R&D and in the Consulting and Support organizations.
The Solution Developer automates code merge. This can be merging a patch, merging a customization in an upgrade project or merging a customization copied from another customer. This can also be the application of component patch sets from Service Packs. Solution Developer uses Delta Engine for diff analysis and code merge.
The Solution Developer supports the process of delivering code to customers, all the way from fetching files connected to a LCS Customization Project's delivery to the deployment of customized and patched code into the Customers database and runtime folder for windows clients. For apps 8 the Solution Developer can prepare all middle tier and IFS EE client code to be deployed using the IFS Installer.
