RESTWEB SERVICES 920 N e w f e a t u r e W D W B WM WEB SERVICE ENTRY POINTS: CODE ANALYSIS TO GENERATE THE DOCUMENTATION WEBDEV automatically generates REST web service documenta- tion in OpenAPI format. The web service entry point documentation is automatically gener- ated by analyzing the code of the web service procedure. Benefit of this new feature in version 2024 : Automatic documentation APPLICATION SERVER 921 N e w f e a t u r e W D W B WM REMOTELY UPDATE RUNNING APPLICATION SERVERS In version 2024, you can remotely update one or more Application Servers. This update can be run: • from the WEBDEV administration application, via Remote Desktop Connection • from the WEBDEV server administration website When a more recent version of the Application Server is available, (major or minor update) the administrator shows an update notifi- cation and allows choosing the new version. Once selected, the new version is automatically installed. No further action is required. Time savings are proportional to the number of Application Servers installed. Benefit of this new feature in version 2024 : Less actions required 922 N e w f e a t u r e W D W B WM AUTOMATICALLY UPDATE RUNNING APPLICATION SERVERS In addition to the previous new feature, it is now possible to make Application Server updates fully automatic. Updates can be made as soon as a new version of the Application Server is available on the WINDEV website. Updates can also be performed when a specific condition is met. You can define this condition, for example by setting the desired version. This version must be present on an HTTP server. You can define the automatic update detection frequency, as well as the day and time these updates should be installed. For example, Sunday at 3 AM, or every hour every day, etc. Benefit of this new feature in version 2024 : Less actions required 923 N e w f e a t u r e W D W B WM AUTOMATICALLY RESTORE A WEB- SITE AFTER AN UNEXPECTED ERROR In version 2024 , when a site encounters a fatal error (connection failure, unexpected update, fatal programming error, etc.), the Ap- plication Server automatically restores the site. An incremental backoff strategy (n attempts every 10 seconds, then n attempts every minute, then n attempts every hour) and a maxi- mum number of retries, allow you to seamlessly restore websites. If the page that encounters the error is an SEO-ready page in Ses- sion mode, it will be refreshed when restored. Benefit of this new feature in version 2024 : Less actions required. 924 N e w f e a t u r e W D W B WM LOAD BALANCING BETWEEN ALL ACTIVE ACCOUNTS In this shared hosting system, all acounts benefit from the same CPU resources A highly anticipated feature in the Application Server is the ability to fairly distribute CPU resources between WEBDEV accounts. By default, the Application Server distributes workload evenly between all active accounts at a given time. Therefore, any resource-intensive process will not slow down the websites of other accounts. No account can take over the CPU. Benefit of this new feature in version 2024 : Fair distribution of CPU performance Continues page 88...
