What is X-UP?

Definition of X-UP

X-UP is a Java-based low-code platform that operates on web application frameworks like Spring. It allows for the easy creation of server-side business logic for various data sources. Additionally, it integrates with the Nexacro platform to provide an optimized environment for application development.

This platform defines the logical structure for data collection, processing, and storage, and provides components for efficiently handling data from various data sources. Additionally, it offers development tools, APIs, and libraries that support service development and execution, enabling faster and easier application development.

Features and Capabilities of X-UP

X-UP supports Enterprise Mashup functionality, which combines various services to provide new services. Through this, it allows for the collection and fusion of data from multiple data sources in different formats, enabling the delivery of services in various ways.

Development with X-UP is done using the X-UP Builder development tool, which allows developers to create logic for collecting data from different data sources and analyzing different data formats. Additionally, logic can be easily constructed through simple mouse clicks, drag-and-drop actions, and value input, maximizing development efficiency.

While typical mashup applications focus on fetching data from specific resources, X-UP goes beyond simply acquiring data. It offers the ability to process data, generate new data, and update existing resources with the newly created data.

• Various Data Sources

  • Supports a variety of data sources (DBMS, SAP, OData, COBOL, OpenAPI, WebService)

• Powerful Development Productivity

  • Provides a WYSIWYG GUI tool based on Eclipse (X-UP Builder)

  • Offers various DataSource Invokers and Functions

  • Enables quick and easy model development based on real data

  • Provides various Event Interfaces and the ability to add custom logic

  • Includes debugging functionality

  • Supports automatic code generation and Wizard functionality

  • Supports JUnit Test Case generation for test automation

• Data Fusion and Reusability

  • Supports Data Merge from various data sources

  • Provides Invoke and Functions for creating services for each data source

  • Allows the reuse of developed service models in other models

X-UP Architecture

X-UP consists of the X-UP model, X-UP Builder, and X-UP Server library.

• X-UP Model: A unit of logic for collecting and merging data

• X-UP Builder: A development tool for creating X-UP models to collect and merge data

• X-UP Server Library: A library for running X-UP models within a web application project

System Architecture

X-UP operates on a Web Application Server, and services are developed through X-UP Builder.

Architecture

X-UP is structured as an OSGI bundle based on the X-UP Core.

• X-UP Core - Supports the management of X-UP bundles, resources, transactions, and more.

• X-UP Global Event (AOP) - Applies the principles of Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) to provide join points for method execution. For the targets being executed, this can be configured for event items within the X-UP Model being developed.

• System Manager - Provides an environment to manage and control X-UP.

• Data Source - Handles connections with legacy systems and is structured as a consistent connection pool.

• Type Control - Handles input/output processing for Nexacro communication specifications and legacy data transformation.

• Invoke - Processes legacy data using data sources according to predefined rules.

• Function - Functional modules commonly used within the X-UP Model.

• X-UP Model - A service unit developed through the X-UP Builder.
