GDX Server Development Roadmap

, 3 min read

GDX-Server is a centralized data exchange server for ProfDia/ProfDiaF/ExProg environments. It connects company locations through a modern REST API, enabling seamless project data flow across an entire organization.

By now the main focus in the development is on the Pro and Enterprise Levels. Additional features especially in the Basic Level will be added at a later point

Shape the Future of GDX Server

Active users with a valid GDX-Server license can take part in the development process. Pro and Enterprise subscribers can suggest new features and help prioritize what gets built next.

We are planning to provide access to a GTR Matrix Server for active subscribers - a direct line to the development team at GTR.

Planned Features

Features are marked with one of three priority levels:

  • In Development - currently in development
  • Next up - approaching active development
  • Planned - confirmed, not yet scheduled
  • Under consideration - likely but not committed

Basic — Included in All Tiers

Web Interface Localization Planned Multi-language support for the web interface.

Automatic License Renewal Planned Automatically applies follow-up licenses on subscription renewal.

Project Dashboard Under consideration Full Project Dashboard as a replacement or addition to NCPro_DB (ProfDia Database GUI)

Pro / Enterprise

Project Management Web Interface Planned

Upload and download projects via browser.

MDE Data Query Web Interface Planned Tabular query of machine data collection records with CSV export.

Statistical MDE Data Analysis Planned Server-side statistical evaluations of machine data - no local processing required.

MDE Data Report Generation Under consideration Templated report generation for machine data analysis via TemplatePro.

Machine State Visualization Under consideration Dashboard showing states of known machines. Auto-discovery from time tracking entries with blacklist management for decommissioned machines.

PostgreSQL Support Under consideration PostgreSQL as an additional supported database engine.

Enterprise
