Enhancing the HP e3000 User Interface

Flexibility
Qedit’s flexible design accommodates a wide range of work methodologies “out of the box.”
For more in-depth customization, Qedit comes with its own scripting language (the “Qedit
Scripting Language” or “QSL”) which allows users to customize the software so that it
understands their IT environment: servers and configurations; IT processes; and departmental
rules and standards. Rather than forcing the IT department to change to suit the software, Qedit
can be customized to suit each company’s environment. Users can write Qedit scripts to address
common editing tasks, which can be integrated into a Qedit for Windows menu to become site-
specific commands.
Process Automation
The second cornerstone of the Qedit Scripting Language is process improvement. The QSL can
be used to automate any repetitive task that has an editing component. For example, say, every
week you make a change to a particular file that needs to be propagated to a number of servers.
A short Qedit script can be deployed to deliver the file to the necessary computers at a specified
time—in a hands-free operation.
System Management Issues
One of the big concerns for MPE Systems Managers is their HP e3000 security. Qedit for
Windows does not put the system at risk for unlimited access. Qedit obeys the access rights
granted by the system manager and offers full login security (username and password) provided
by MPE/iX. Qedit for Windows is also compatible with most third-party security packages such
as Vesoft’s Security/3000. System management is also simplified by the fact that the Qedit for
Windows server does not need an HP e3000 batch job running in the background. On HP-UX,
the Qedit Server runs as a standard daemon process.
Windows Integration
Qedit for Windows can be configured as the editor of choice for other Windows applications.
For example, Microsoft Internet Explorer can be configured to use Qedit as the default editor
instead of Notepad. Qedit for Windows is also integrated with other HP e3000 software such as
Bradmark’s MPE Command Center and Pete Vickers’ GUI/3000.
