Table maintenance is one of those necessary elements of most applications. However, the investment of valuable time and resources to create and maintain unique user interfaces for each table isn't necessary because the same can be accomplished with rapid automation using QAT DDM.
DDM stands for “Dynamic Data Maintenance”. It provides automated web interfaces to manage either dynamic or physical application tables using a rich web 2.0user interface. For example, QAT DDM is used in the Agility BPM™ product to provide maintenance support for complex data structures, and has also been a strategic element of several very successful customer projects at QAT because of its ability to automate user defined data elements.
Dynamic Tables - Dynamic tables are virtual tables (vs. physical database tables). In the case of dynamic tables, DDM stores the data structure as metadata (i.e. using a normalized database structure) and provides a modern web interface to maintain that data. Multiple columns can be defined and maintained and it includes support for simple one-to-many relationships. In this case, both the storage and the user interfaces are automated by QAT DDM.
Physical Tables - Physical tables are also supported by providing a modern web interface to maintain the data. In the case of physical tables, the table structure is defined to QAT DDM, but the web interface to maintain that data is provided by the product.. Data maintenance is provided by data sources, which include Gen Common Action Blocks, dynamic SQL and hand-written processes.

Modernization Results
The QAT Genesis modernization process results in applications that have not only been modernized in the traditional sense, but also made more open and agile at the same time. Business and IT are more aligned and far more productive as a team by allowing the business to control the work processes and IT to control the database and system integration.
A core concept of QAT Genesis is to introduce business process
automation within the modernized application.
This is a powerful solution that enables the business
to enhance and change
their application in significant ways without relying on IT for every change. The modernized application
suddenly becomes more flexible for the
business and the cost of the projects are more aligned with the benefits.
