Invoking Actions on Event Occurrence-System & Printing Events Introduced

•    Prior to this release the Events Form Accept and Focus were introduced. In this Release there has been major enhancements in the Event Framework as a whole. Under this framework specified Actions can be triggered on the occurrence of a particular Events. The Events are implicit which can be classified broadly into System Events and Object Specific Events. The System Events introduced are System Start/End and Company Load/Close. Object Specific Events introduced are Before/After Print.

Collection Enhancements

1. Using External PlugIns as a Data Source for Collections

•    Tally now provides a TDL interface to obtain datasets in Collection from external Plug-Ins.

These Plug-Ins are written as DLL’s which can be used to fetch external data (ie either from Internet or from external Database etc). These DLL’s should return a valid XML which can be easily mapped into TDL Collection. In other words, TDL program can provide simple string value and/or XML to the DLL function. The DLL gives XML data as an output. Collection takes this data and converts into objects and object methods which can be accessed in TDL like other objects.

DLL collection will be very useful in the following scenarios:

1. Display stock quotes from the internet

2. Get data from different formats like CSV, HTML

3. External device interfaces

4. Weighing scale interface

5. RFID Barcode scanner

6. Petrol Pump device interface

7. Foot fall count

8. External application interfaces

9. GAS distributor application

10. To get attendance details in Pay Roll through swipe

Etc Etc ..

2. Dynamic Table Support using Unique Attribute

•    The Unique attribute of Collection definition is used to control the display of unique values in

the table for a specified method based on values selected from the table previously in a field. The display of values is changed dynamically based on the field value. The unique attribute has been enhanced to add a new sub attribute in the syntax which is used to specify another field object method which also participates in controlling the uniqueness of values in the table.

3. Using Variable as a Data Source for Collections

•    The collection attribute Data Source is enhanced to support ‘Variable’ as data source. Now

variable values can be gathered as objects to the collection. When the Data Source is a Compound variable with multiple levels, the same is available in Collection as a complete object hierarchy.

Evaluating expressions by Changing the Object Context- $$ReqOwner Introduced

•    Any expression in TDL is evaluated in context of Interface and Data Object existing at that instance. There are many context changing functions available in the platform. They change either the Interface Object context or Data Object context. In order to change a particular object context, functions like $$Owner, $ReqObj etc are used. In this release a new function called “ReqOwner” is introduced which is used to change the Interface(Requestor) Object context one level up the chain.

Variable Framework with Compound Variables Introduced

•    Variables are context free light weight data structures which can store values. They assume

an initial value at instantiation and can change during the program execution. The variable framework has been completely revamped to support Compound Variables. Prior to this release we came up with list variables where it was possible to store multiple values of the same datatype within a list. With the introduction of Compound Variables now it will be possible to store multiple values of different datatypes within the same structure. Each member of a compound Variable can either be a simple variable, a list variable or another compound variable. The nesting can extend upto any level. Compound variables are very useful in all cases where it is needed to store and manipulate multiple variables of different type as a unit.

Third Party Applications Using Tally Licensing Mechanism

•    Third Party Applications can validate the Request Response Interaction with Tally using robust

License Mechanism built in Tally with various approaches. The below approaches can be used

by the Third Party Applications to retrieve & validate the License Information from Tally based on the level of Security desired.

License Info Retrieval using Open XML

The Third Party Applications will be able to send an XML Request to call platform function within Tally which is used to retrieve the required License Info from Tally. This is a less secured option as the license data will be available over an Open XML.

License Info Retrieval using Encoding Procedure built in a TCP

The Third Party Application will send a Validation String within the XML Request. At Tally’s

End, the validation string and the required License Info will be encoded using the procedures

(Non Standard) built inside the TDL. The converted Strings will be sent back within the XML Response to the Third Party Applications which will decode the strings at their end.

License Info Retrieval using Encryption Functions provided within Tally

The Third Party Application will send a Validation String within the XML Request. At Tally’s

End, the validation string and the required License Info will be encrypted using the function

$$EncryptStr provided within the platform. The encrypted Strings will be sent back within the XML response to the Third Party Application. The Third Party Application will be able to decrypt the Strings at their end using the standard DLL shipped by us for Decryption.

License Info Retrieval using Encryption Algorithms built using Third Party DLL’s

The Third Party Application will send a Validation String within the XML Request. At Tally’s End, the validation string and the required License Info will be encrypted using an External DLL which can have its own Encryption Routines. Tally uses the Function CallDllFunction to return the encrypted strings to Third party Application within XML Response. At Third Party Application End, decryption algorithms will be required which can again be provided inside the same DLL used for encryption.
