V4.0 FixPak3 Readme
PTF #: UQ56797
|
This VisualAge Generator V4.0 FixPak3 Readme file contains the installation instructions, product support, and limitation
information.
The VisualAge Generator V4.0 FixPak3 is cummulative and includes the V4.0
changes made for FixPak1 and FixPak2. If you did not already have the V4.0
FixPak1 and FixPak2 installed, you may install the V4.0 FixPak3 directly.
VisualAge Generator V4.0 FixPak3 contains enhancements, problem support,
and limitations for the following:
- Hotkey combination, Ctrl+M will toggle between Field Mode and Edit Mode.
- Access to Field Properties is enabled in Edit Mode. Keyboard access is
through the Define menu
- Mode stays in Edit Mode after adding new variable/constant fields with
Ctrl+3/Ctrl+6 hotkey combinations
- When viewing the field list (Ctrl+L), constant fields can now be identified
by the first 30 characters of text that they contain
- Current mode (Edit or Field) is displayed in the Map Editor Status bar
(bottom-left corner)
- New toggle option added to the Edit->Selection Menu which allow the
user to specify whether they wish to select fields (toggle is on) or text
(toggle is off)
- This Fixtest introduces two Java APIs which can be used to locate and fix
VAGen parts containing tab characters. In order to use the APIs you must
have the IBM VisualAge Generator Utilities feature loaded. The APIs can
be invoked from the VAJava Scrapbook window -- from the Workbench, select
Window->Scrapbook. Type the following in the Scrapbook window, then
select the text and select Edit->Run.
- com.ibm.vgj.fixutil.VAGenFixInterface.findTabs("ABC") - This method finds VAGen parts containing tab characters. The method
takes one parameter which is a package prefix. All packages in the repository
whose names begin with the prefix will be searched. The packages do not
have to be loaded into the Workspace. The latest edition of the package
is searched. Packages and names of VAGen parts containing tabs will be
displayed in the VAJava Log window.
- com.ibm.vgj.fixutil.VAGenFixInterface.fixTabs() - This method will fix VAGen parts containing tab characters by replacing
each tab character with a single space. All VAGen parts loaded in the Workspace
will be searched and fixed as necessary. After this method is executed,
you will need to version the changes.
VisualAge Generator V4.0 FixPak3 contains VisualAge Generator Templates
(VAGT) enhancements, problem support, or limitations for the following:
Various
bugs have been fixed (see the APAR section). The main improvements are listed
below:
- Data Element, Value Table editing. The tabbing between the cells works correctly
- package and project names in the parameters editors are larger and fully visible
- Relational Import: Temporary Tables (DB2/MVS) can now be imported
- New Naming Policy of the items in the UI-Record
The generated item names are more easy to read and take into account
muliple displays in one single interface unit.
- New Hooks
Several new hooks are available in the web transaction to customize
the initialization of the program, the server calls and the display.
- Concurrency management (timestamp or counter) is available in XFer &Converse.
- Error Handling is improved.
- Value table management is improved. No duplicate of the current value.
- Help List display is improved. The current item position in the list is
preserved.
- Column Labels are used in lists instead of default labels
- Access Level is taken into account in the lists. The definition of the
UI-Record is thus optimized (less fields)
Generation Improvement
- The Select Generator window in Java has been improved
-
VAGT Workbench:
- SQL low value and SQL high value (Workspace definition) are not exhaustively
checked; these attributes should not be empty (space is a valid value).
-
Web Generators:
- You may have to customize the code if you use more than one business object
in one interface unit. Various hooks are available.
- The updatable lists are not available.
-
GUI Generators:
- The '4GL' Client Logic Style (Workspace Parameter) is not implemented.
- Templates on Java Limitations
-
GUI Generators:
- On VisualAge for Java, you need to check 'Inherit BeanInfo of Bean superclass'
in the panel 'Options', under 'Visual Composition' to have your generated
GUI work properly.
- Relational Table: The 'read' concurrency management is not supported by
the client.
- Templates on Smalltalk Limitations
-
Installation:
After the load of the VAGT feature, the VisualAge Organizer may have
lost the current user. Ensure to set a current user before using the VAGT
feature (otherwise the menu items of the VAGT Tools menu will stay disabled).
-
Generation:
- If you use a workspace that was not defined with the QuickStart, it is
better to unload MdlQSRuntimeApp.
- Workspace: 'Target Services Application' and 'Target Visual Application'
parameters are not taken into account. Only 'Target Logic Application'
is used.
- Bidi:
Although VAGT is able to provide right-to-left organized views and
subviews, it depends on the abilities of VisualAge Smalltalk BiDi feature
for internal positionings:
- menus inside a menu bar
- columns inside a container
- tabs inside a notebook
-
Database Management:
When connecting to the database, you may have database connections
left open (an error -1445 appears), you should clean up SQL database connections
so you can execute the following code to clean up the SQL interface:SQLRequester
disconnectAll
| Note: |
Be aware that this will also roll back all units
of work. |

in the Smalltalk image. The FixPak files will overlay files in the file
directory tree structure where your current VisualAge installation resides.
For additional information, see the VisualAge Smalltalk webpage
VisualAge Generator Templates (Standard Functions) is installed with VisualAge
Generator Developer.
- Adding the VisualAge Generator Templates feature on Java:
If you already have VAGT 'standard' feature loaded (4.0 or 4.0 Fixpak 1
or FixPak2), then you should install an empty image. You can find an original
ide.icx in the VisualAge for Java CD, in ivj30\backup directory.
The IBM VisualAge Generator feature is a prerequisite of VisualAge
Generator Templates. If it is not already loaded, loading The VAGT standard
feature will also load the IBM VisualAge Generator feature.
- On the Workbench, select File>>Quick Start.
- On the Quick Start dialog, select Features on the left. Add Feature on
the right, and then select OK.
- Select IBM VisualAge Generator Templates 4.0 + FP3, and select OK
(this will take a few minutes).
- Close the Workbench, and, then, close the Log. You will be prompted to
save the workspace. Select OK to save the workspace.
- Loading the VisualAge Generator Templates feature on Smalltalk:
- Before starting the workspace, you should consider saving a copy of the
VisualAge Smalltalk image named abt.icx.
- Start VisualAge for Smalltalk.
- Select Tools>>Load/Unload Features... on the System Transcript.
- In the Selection Required window:
- Make sure that "Show other features" is checked.
- Select Other: VAGTemplates 4.0 + FP3 from the Available features
list.
- Click on the OK button. VisualAge Generator Templates will be imported
and loaded into your workspace. The load function will also ensure loading
of the prerequisites, VisualAge ODBC Database and DB2 CLI Database. This
could take up to half an hour to finish.
Once VisualAge Generator Templates is loaded, you will be prompted
to save your image. Click the Yes button so you won't have to load VisualAge
Generator Templates the next time you start VisualAge for Smalltalk. By
default, the image is saved as filename abt.icx. After the image is saved,
you might consider making a copy of the image file.
