The following steps outline the basic tasks required to develop a Results application:
- Develop or acquire the application databases. OpenEdge Getting Started: Database Essentials explains how to design and develop an application database.
- Define the application configuration. The "Application configuration" section describes how to define an application and configure Results for the development of an application.
- Develop integration procedures and integrate them into Results. The "Integration points and procedures" section explains how to customize Results using integration procedures.
- Develop feature procedures and integrate them into Results. The "Features" section explains how to use features to extend Results.
- Perform any necessary predeployment application administration. For example, you can set up users, query directories, and provide security for the Results application. Chapter 2, "Administering Results," provides more information about the administration tools available in Results.
