CMiC Software Environment

CMiC Enterprise is a web-based software package, meaning that it runs through an internet browser. As with all web-based software, the type of web browser and the version of the web browser is relevant to its smooth operation. Currently, Enterprise operates through Microsoft Edge, and the latest versions of Firefox and Chrome.

The following screenshot is a sample of a screen used to launch Enterprise.

Development Tools

The left-hand section of the screen, Development Tools, in the screenshot above, provides tools for customizing Enterprise software to suit your specific needs. For example, there are tools to build custom Treeviews, queries, processes, dashboards, etc. 

There are two lists of options available: Select a Tool and Select an Environment. The first list is for selecting the development tool to run. Several of these tools are described in more detail in the Customizing Enterprise Console article. The second list is for choosing in which environment to operate the tool.

Once the two options have been selected, press the [Launch Dev Tools] button, underneath the Choose An Environment list, as shown in the above screenshot.

R12 Software

Under the right-hand section of the screen, R12 Software, in the screenshot above, there are two lists of options available: Select a Product and Select an Environment.

The first list is for selecting the CMiC product to run, and its options depend on the products purchased by the company. The product covered in this article is Enterprise Console, which is used to launch both ADF and JSP screens.

The second list, the Select an Environment list, is for choosing which environment you want Enterprise to operate in. There are at least two environments (i.e. two distinct databases) in which Enterprise can operate, for instance, PROD and TEST. One or more environments would be used for actual company operations, and others would be used for testing and training purposes.

Once the two options have been selected, press the [Launch Software] button, underneath the Select an Environment list, as shown in the above screenshot.
