Libraries Tab
The Libraries tab is used to define dependencies on other 4GL library applications. An OpenROAD eClient application is always dependent on the OpenROAD eClient CAB (oraxp.cab). ABF applications transformed into OpenROAD using TransForge will also be dependent on the OpenROAD Transformation Runtime CAB (complib.cab).
You can also create your own user libraries, CAB files you package using the MakeCAB utility. The eClient library applications must be defined as a 4GL Library on the Control tab of the MakeCAB utility when they are generated.
Creating 4GL Libraries is a common and convenient way to publish foundational applications that may be shared among several applications. Foundational applications are typically the OpenROAD image files that are part of the included application list of the OpenROAD image file contained in a 4GL Control application.
This tab contains the following fields and controls:
OpenROAD eClient runtime control version number
Specifies the OpenROAD eClient version number required by the application. The contents of this field is included as part of the OpenROAD eClient OBJECT tag in the generated HTML file.
You can enter a version from the keyboard or click Choose to open a lookup dialog containing the OpenROAD eClient versions from the [Oraxp Versions] section of the makecab.ini file. You can select a version and click OK, or click Cancel to exit the lookup dialog.
You can add new versions to the makecab.ini file by clicking Add on the lookup dialog. Added versions must contain both a unique version and description. They are permanently added to the end of the [Oraxp Versions] section of the makecab.ini file and displayed at the bottom of the lookup list.
URL of the OpenROAD eClient control
Specifies the URL of the eClient CAB file (oraxp.cab) on your web server. You must place this CAB file on your web server before you can run any OpenROAD eClient applications. This file is located in your %II_SYSTEM%\ingres\eclient directory.
Transformation Runtime is required
Specifies whether your application requires the OpenROAD Transformation Runtime. ABF applications transformed into OpenROAD with TransForge require that this option be selected.
Transformation Runtime control version number
Specifies the Transformation Runtime version number required by the application. The contents of this field are included as part of the Transformation Runtime OBJECT tag in the generated HTML file. You can enter a version number from the keyboard or click Choose to display a lookup dialog containing the Transformation Runtime versions from the [Complib Versions] section of the makecab.ini file. You can select a version and click OK, or click Cancel to exit the lookup dialog.
You can add new versions to the makecab.ini file by clicking Add on the lookup dialog. Added versions must contain both a unique version and description. They are permanently added to the end of the [Complib Versions] section of makecab.ini file and displayed at the bottom of the lookup list.
URL of the Transformation Runtime control
Specifies the URL of the OpenROAD Transformation Runtime CAB file (complib.cab) on your web server. You must place this CAB file on your web server before you can run any OpenROAD Transformation Runtime-based applications. This file is located in your %II_SYSTEM%\ingres\eclient directory.
User Libraries
Lets you specify a 4GL Control Library XML project file containing the 4GL Library application required by this application. Click Add to navigate the directory structure and select a project file.
