Command Line Method of Creating Numbered Application Versions (VersionApp)
To create numbered versions of an application, start the VersionApp utility by entering the following command at the command line:
w4gldev versionapp database application [-nowindows] [-uusername] [-Lfilename]
[-p{abort|ignore|version}] [-w{ignore|version}]
[-rremark] [-f] [-l]
[-T{yes|yes,min|yes,logonly|all|all,min|all,logonly|no}] [-Ttitletitle] [-A]
The following parameters and flags are available from the command line:
database
Specifies the name and location of the database in which the application resides
application
Specifies the name of the application to create a numbered version for
-nowindows
Lets the application run without the window manager running. This option does not provide full batch mode execution, because some interaction with the application still may be required through the Trace window.
-uusername
Lets you use this command as if you were another user, username.
Note: You, not username, own all files created by OpenROAD.
-Lfilename
Specifies the name of a log file. If the log path specified is not a full path, the file is created in the %II_SYSTEM%\ingres\files directory. You may include the following replacement parameters in the file name.
%p
Replaced by the Process Identifier (PID)
%d
Replaced by the current date in YYYYMMDD format
%t
Replaced by the current time in HH_MM_SS format
-poption
Specifies how to handle your private versions of components in the application. Options include:
abort
Directs OpenROAD to abort the command if there are private versions
ignore
Directs OpenROAD to ignore the private versions and use the highest numbered version of the component in this version of the application
version
Directs OpenROAD to save all your private versions and give them version numbers
Default: abort
-woption
Specifies how to handle the saved versions of components that have been changed since you created the last highest version number of that component. Options include:
ignore
Directs OpenROAD to ignore the saved versions and include the highest numbered version of the components. This option fails if there are no numbered versions of the component.
version
Directs OpenROAD to save the working version of the component as a numbered version and include it in the application version
Default: version
-rremark
Defines a remark for the application version
-f
Forces compilation of all components in the version
-l
