DevTools

DevTools

DevTools functioned as a streamlined interface to admin console capabilities in TRIRIGA. The creator developed custom classes implementing key admin functions, integrated them via classloader, constructed workflows, collaborated extensively with a UX Developer, and released it as a perceptive application.

Features

  1. Clear cache
  2. Download any type of logs
  3. Download Data and Label translation files (post-export from TRIRIGA's globalization manager)
  4. Download large OM Packages
  5. Generate excel reports of OM Package items with object types and names
  6. Unlock users locked out of TRIRIGA
  7. Access system statistics including "Workflow events pending" and "Workflow instances recorded"

The creator aspired to incorporate workflow instance management tools but this remained unrealized.

Usage Context

Most customer servers are managed by dedicated SRE (Site Reliability Engineering) teams, who sometimes oversee the admin console to prevent developer mishaps. DevTools enabled developers to independently execute safe server functions previously restricted to SRE teams, reducing coordination overhead for both groups while maintaining system security and stability.
