Deliver faster — without sacrificing control
Build & Extend
Whether you’re rebuilding or evolving, Genero Enterprise accelerates development with high-productivity tools that adapt to your pace and your stack. From visual modeling to structured code, your team stays efficient — and in control of every layer.
You can design working applications in days, not months. Visual modeling accelerates prototyping. Reusing your existing logic reduces risk and cost. And when needed, developers can go deep — extending everything with clean, structured business code.
Available Development Tools
Business Application Modeler
Design full application workflows, forms, and menus visually. Generate ready-to-run code based on your database schema. Perfect for prototyping or building core modules fast.
Report Engine (GRE)
Automate high-volume document generation — invoices, certificates, regulatory forms — from inside your applications, using predefined templates.
Genero BDL (Business Development Language)
A modern, structured language built on the foundations of Informix 4GL — optimized for business logic, with concise syntax, built-in SQL, and portable cross-platform deployment.
Form Designer
Create or modernize user interfaces with full support for graphical widgets, layouts, and accessibility — all while keeping your .per forms.

Available Development Tools
Open architecture. Controlled complexity.
Integrate & Connect
Business applications rarely operate in isolation. Whether you need to exchange data, call external services, or modernize your data stack, Genero Enterprise includes built-in tools to connect securely and efficiently — without adding layers of integration debt.
You can expose your business logic as REST or SOAP services, consume APIs from modern platforms, and move across database engines — all from the same codebase. Integration becomes a feature, not a bottleneck.
Available Development Tools
Genero Web Services
Expose internal functions as REST or SOAP services.
Consume third-party APIs using built-in support for JSON, XML, HTTP requests, and token-based authentication.
Multi-database drivers
Connect natively to Informix, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle, and SQLite.
Switch engines without rewriting your application logic. Support for ODBC connections included.
SQL abstraction layer
Write portable SQL statements directly inside your business logic.
Handle multiple database systems with consistent code across environments.
Built-in communication libraries
Work with files, streams, web requests, and structured data formats using native language features — no need for external extensions or custom connectors.

Quality and reliability — built in.
Test & Operate
In enterprise environments, stability matters as much as speed. Genero Enterprise includes native tools to help your teams test applications thoroughly and operate them reliably, across platforms and usage scenarios.
From automated functional tests to runtime monitoring, everything is designed to help reduce errors, shorten feedback loops, and keep systems stable — whether you’re running a single business app or a full portfolio.
Available Development Tools
Genero Ghost Client
Automate functional and regression tests by simulating real user actions — without rendering the user interface.
Ideal for continuous integration workflows and load testing.
Genero Application Server
Run your applications across desktop, web, and mobile channels from a single backend.
Manage sessions, handle UI updates, and ensure consistent execution with a stateless architecture.
Genero Runtime Environment
Execute portable p-code compiled from your business logic.
Maintain consistent behavior across Linux, Windows, and Unix — with no system-level adjustments.
Integrated event handling
Manage UI logic and workflows using structured dialog blocks and event loops — reducing boilerplate and avoiding fragile code patterns.
Built-in logging and monitoring
Capture key application metrics, errors, and user activity through integrated logs. Improve observability and simplify troubleshooting.

Synchronize & Deploy
Genero Enterprise fits into modern DevOps workflows. Whether you work with Git, run automated pipelines, or deploy to the cloud using containers, you can integrate Genero into your existing processes — or adopt new ones at your own pace.
Deployment doesn’t require a rewrite. You control how updates are built, tested, released, and scaled — across environments and platforms.
Available Development Tools
Genero Container Interface
Use official Docker images to package and run Genero applications in containers.
Compatible with orchestration tools such as Kubernetes and optimized for DevOps automation.
Genero command-line tools
Compile, run, and package applications using terminal-based utilities.
Scriptable and CI/CD-ready for consistent, repeatable builds.
Git and CI/CD integration
Version all source files natively with Git.
Connect to Jenkins, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps and other automation systems to trigger tests and deployments.
Environment-specific configurations
Deploy the same application across development, staging, and production environments using environment variables or script-based overrides — without modifying the code.
Built-in logging and monitoring
Automate the entire delivery cycle — from compilation to release — using shell scripts and build jobs.
Combine with Genero Ghost Client to run tests before deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Power Your Dev Lifecycle
Frequently Asked Questions
Power Your Dev Lifecycle
Do I need to use Genero Studio to develop applications?
No. While Genero Studio offers an integrated environment for modeling, coding, and debugging, all source files are plain text and can be edited in any tool — including Visual Studio Code or Vim. Compilation and testing can be scripted using command-line tools.
Is the platform tied to a specific database?
No. Genero Enterprise includes native drivers for Informix, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQL Server, and SQLite. You can switch databases without rewriting your application logic. ODBC is also supported for additional engines.
Can we use our existing CI/CD pipeline with Genero?
Yes. Genero provides command-line tools for compiling and packaging applications. These tools integrate easily with GitLab CI, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, or any CI/CD system.
What kind of applications can I build with Genero Enterprise?
You can build modern business applications — from transactional back-office systems to mobile field apps — using a single codebase. Genero supports desktop, web, and mobile interfaces, as well as high-volume reporting.
Do I need to rewrite my existing Informix-4GL code?
In most cases, no. Genero BDL is backward-compatible with Informix 4GL. Existing business logic can often be recompiled directly, and then extended or modernized step by step.
How is application quality ensured during development?
Genero Ghost Client lets you automate functional and regression testing without rendering the interface. This is especially useful in CI environments. You can also test manually using standard tools or integrated debuggers.
Is the runtime environment stable and maintained?
Yes. Genero applications are compiled into portable p-code and executed on a cross-platform virtual machine maintained by Four Js. Updates and security patches are delivered regularly.
Can Genero applications scale for large user bases?
Yes. The Genero Application Server is designed for enterprise workloads. It supports session management, load balancing, and stateless architectures compatible with scalable deployments.
Can I deploy to cloud environments or containers?
Yes. Genero provides official Docker images and supports deployments to public or private clouds. Applications can be containerized and orchestrated with Kubernetes or similar tools.
Does Genero support modern integration (APIs, REST, JSON)?
Yes. Genero Web Services enables your applications to expose and consume APIs using REST or SOAP. JSON, XML, HTTP calls, and token-based authentication are natively supported in the language.
