[Openroad-users] Included applications at runtime

[Peter van Bennekom]

Chris,

 

Our application has over 70 apps each with a unique set of included images (some are generic some are very specific) - the functionality I like to offer is that the client can hook in on any user event (exit, setvalue, etc) with writing code outside our standard component - client can perform its own validation.  Creating tens of dummy applications is not very user friendly and may become maintenance problem (since it is now included in standard product we overwrite source at new release - easily correctible but not best situation)

 

Thanks, Peter

Peter,

 

Why not always provide a dummy application/procedure when you deliver your application.  Then you always know that the procedure exists - even if you dummy procedure just does a return.

 

Then your user can simply replace you dummy image to implement theirs.  The additional benefit of this is in application supporting.  If there is any doubt about whether a problem exists in your code or the clients you can simply ask them to reproduce the problem with your dummy application in place.

Hi peter,

 

I have looked for that too. Without any luck.

The only way that I could come up with, was to search the directories: Current dir, II_W4GLAPPS_DIR, II_W4GLSYS_DIR, II_SYSTEM/ingres/w4glapps

Folks,

 

How do I get the list of included applications at runtime for a given application?  I want to check if a certain app exist - our customers can customize our product as they see fit and at runtime I want to see if an app exist - if it does I want to call a predefined procedure.

 

I have tried to see if ParentApplication has an attribute but I cannot find any thing - I tried .inclApps (you never know) but that did not return anything.  Source code database is not available in runtime environment. And I prefer not to write output to disk and then read / parse it (may run into all sorts of rights issues...).

 

Any help greatly appreciated.

 

Peter
