- WOW Quick Start

To create a WOW application, developers only need to follow the four steps found in the WOW Builder: 1) Setup Connection; 2) Setup Application(s); 3) Setup Operations; 4) Run.

1. To create a connection, simply select (1) Setup Connections. Information on setting up different connections can be found HERE This quick start uses IBM i (aka AS/400) but other databases can be used as well. Specify your exact IP address and a valid UserID and Password.

2. Create a new Application (select the connection created in step 1)

3. Create a SQL Operation to select the sample “Employee” data. Operations belong within an Application. Any number of Operations can be created within an application. Operations become "Menu Items" that you can click on to run.

Execute the application by clicking step 4 “Run” and the WOW utility will launch the new application in a browser as shown below:

Your SQL is sent to the database for execution, the results are returned as HTML and JavaScript to the browser.
