Solutions Console

26th April 2005

The Solutions Console is a joint initiative by QA Technologies (QAT), Information Engineering Technology (IET) and Jumar Solutions Europe (Jumar) to provide an enhanced interface for plug-in organization and presentation within the CA Gen toolset.

The Solutions Console partners have developed a comprehensive range of Plug-ins designed to enhance CA Gen. These Plug-ins provide solutions in the areas of development, reporting, configuration management, product integration and application integration and much more.

What are Plug-ins ?

Plug-ins are applications accessed from the CA Gen toolset. Because the application is launched from within the context of the Gen toolset, it is able to directly access and update the open model. Plug-ins work with Gen 6.5 and above.

How can I benefit from the Solutions Console ?

The Solutions Console provides a place to organize your plug-ins and manage a single up-to-date view of a full range of complementary plug-ins for CA Gen.

	Free plug-ins	The Solutions Console partners will be providing a number of free plug-ins via the console, the first of which are already available.
	No limitation in the number of plug-ins installed	Today, the Gen toolset is limited to 20 plug-ins. The Solutions Console supports an unlimited number of plug-ins.
	No toolset cluttering	Instead of having several menu items corresponding to different plug-ins, the user only needs to have the Solutions Console installed to have access to all plug-ins provided by the participating vendors.
	Improved communication	Provides a graphical and always up to date environment for customers to read and learn about the available solutions from all participating vendors. A live update feature will ensure that the announcements and content are always up to date.
	Improved Administration	Provides an administrative function to manage a Favorites list.

How much does the Solutions Console cost ?

The console is free.
