The Solumina Software Developer Kit (SDK) enables developers to build and maintain custom microservices, APIs, and front-end applications that complement or extend the Solumina iSeries solution. Using the SDK, you can layer on additional validation logic to Solumina’s backend, build new frontend layouts around existing features, or even build completely new custom features. The SDK provides access to the Solumina iSeries ecosystem, allowing the creation of custom microservices and the writing of APIs with custom code. The custom code is written in separate applications that are deployed in the iSeries containerized environment. Since the standard Solumina code is not modified, it doesn’t create issues with upgrading later. The Solumina iSeries SDK provides developers with a simplified way to create microservices, APIs, and frontend applications, enabling custom functionality that supports your business-specific needs. It allows you to build custom microservices or applications that work with your Solumina implementation, such as a tool crib management app. Write custom code without modifying the standard Solumina code, avoiding costly upgrade challenges in the future and integrate Solumina with virtually any other mission critical system in your IT landscape.

Features:

Backend SDK The Backend SDK is a server-side framework for custom microservices and a replacement of Java extensions methodology. It handles queries and calls, like the way a list of parts issues is populated.

• Developers need familiarity with Java, Maven (to automate the project’s build), Spring Boot (an open-source Java-based framework used to create microservices), and the fundamentals of implementing REST APIs with Spring Boot. Frontend SDK The Frontend SDK makes it possible to change the user interface, like adding a custom button to handle the display, as well as to authenticate and pass ID and session credentials received from Solumina to the backend.
• Developers need familiarity with JavaScript as the programming language used for UI, React (a JavaScript library for building user interfaces), the React ecosystem of libraries, and Redux, an open-source JavaScript library.
