What are the three tiers in GW application architecture - ANSWER Data, application, presentation (or user interface/web clients) In which tier are the following used? PCF Files, Gosu, and Data model entities? - ANSWER Presentation, application, and data respectively For each of the following, identify if it is stored as a database table, as a table column, or not stored in the database at all: a) An entity (such as ABContact) b) A physical data field (such as ABContact.CreateTime) c) A virtual data field (such as ABContact.FullName) d) A foreign key field (such as ABContact.AssignedUser) - ANSWER a) table b) column c) not stored d) column (foreign key column) For each of the following, identify if it is stored as a database table, as a table column, or not stored in the database at all: a) an array key field (such as ABContact.Contact Notes) b) a typelist (such as VendorType) c) a typekey Field (such as ABContact.VendorType) - ANSWER a) not stored in the database b) table c) column (foreign key column) Name two circumstances in which you would execute the gwb genDataDictionary command. - ANSWER When you install app and when you extend Data Model (and are concerned with data model validation beyond schema validation in Entity Editor). If you modify system permissions or some other aspect of access and would need to regenerate the Security Dictionary. How many ETX files can a given entity have? - ANSWER One ETX file per entity in most cases. What datatype do you enter for fields that will store... a) String values? b) Boolean values? c) Numbers with decimal values? - ANSWER a) varchar b) bit c) decimal Which datatypes require columnParam subelements? - ANSWER a) decimal requires precision and scale b) varchar requires size When does a GW app actually modify the physical structure of the database? - ANSWER Physical structure of the database is only modified during start-up. Describe some of the differences between the files in the MetadataTypelist and ExtensionsTypelist folders - ANSWER Metadata: OOTB typelists. Not-editable. TIX and TTI files. Extensions: contains editable items, developers are able to make modifications here. TTX and TTI files. Define the broad purpose for each element category: a) atomic widgets b) container widgets c) locations - ANSWER a) display individual elements of data and/or functionality b) group atomic widgets into logical groups c) define how users move from one place in app to the next What does a PCF file define? - ANSWER A container widget or location and its contents What does each PCF editor convention mean? a) A container widget shaded light blue b) a light green line c) a red background - ANSWER a) container widget is referenced by the current PCF file and its contents are contained in another file b) for currently selected widget tool, a new widget of that type will be placed in the current location c) the PCF file has an error in it How do you deploy PCF changes? - ANSWER Navigate to UI and hit Alt + Shift + L OR you can restart the server OR you can log in as admin and reload files from Internal Tools Reload page. What must you specify in a widget's "value" property? - ANSWER You must specify the field in the data model that the widget is bound to. When would you see the keyword "as" in the value property? - ANSWER When the container's base object is subtyped, and the field to which the widget is bound is at one of the subtype levels. What is a display key? - ANSWER It is an abstract display value referenced by a widget's label property. It can have one or more language-specific values, and when the UI is rendered, the value matching the user's language is used. If you create a widget and specify only the ID, name, and label, is the widget visible? Editable? Required? - ANSWER The widget will be visible, not editable, and not required. For a standard input widget, how do you implement a "long" date format? - ANSWER Within the label in Studio, you can select the property to "long" for date format. For the object "myContact" of type ABContact, what is the dot notation for the object's: a) Preferred currency? b) Notes? c) Level of experience of my contact's assigned user? d) Mobile phone (if it is a person)? - ANSWER a) anABContact.PreferredCurrency b) anABContact.ContactNotes c) anABContact.AssignedUser.ExperienceLevel d) (anABContact as ABPerson).CellPhone A Detail View that displays data must have at least one root object. Why? - ANSWER Input widgets of a Detail View must reference some object in order to specify where the data they display comes from. This object must be the root object, or an object related to the root object. Therefore, in order to display data, a root object is needed. A Detail View that displays data must have at least one input column. Why? - ANSWER Input columns are used to organize atomic widgets in Detail View. Every input widget must be in an input column. If a Detail View displays data, then it has at least one input widget, which means it must have at least one input column. What determines if a Detail View is reusable or not? - ANSWER If a Detail View is declared as the parent object of a PCF file, then it is reusable. It can be referenced by any number of other containers.
