2406.0. "OA$SITE_LIB_SHARE vs appl$SITE_LIB_appl_SHARE" by BERN02::MUELLERS () Fri Mar 12 1993 08:59

    Hello!
    
    I just created an application in terms ALL-IN-1 understands the verb
    application. It consists of two application areas SMU_GERMAN and
    SMU_SHARE. Afterwards I created some forms and scripts to test if all
    the mechanisms are working correctly.
    
    Now I have two questions:
    
    1. How will the application FMS libraries be opened? Is it necessary to
    enter the libraries in the user's profile (.FRMLIB)?
    
    2. Do scripts residing in SMU$SITE_DO_SMU_SHARE will be included in
    CMTXL and therefore will be found when accessed by users. If there are do 
    scripts in SMU$SITE_LIB_SMU_SHARE they will not be found. Does this mean 
    that I have to modify the search list of OA$LIB manually or is there a 
    better supported way to do it?
    
    Thanks for any suggestions!
    
    Stefan

	Stefan, CM does not place any restrictions on how you make your application available to end-users. This also means that it does not do anything aid the decision on how to do it. It really depnds on how your application has been written. If your text elements are being refernced implicitly then you will need to put your elements in the TXL or point to them via OA$FILE_SEARCH_ORDER. If you reference them explcitily then obviously they will be found regardless of where they are. Forms. If your application has an entry point then you can create an initilaistaion script that will open up the forms librbraries using OA$FORM_SEARCH_ORDER. Look at the CM_INIT_ENVIRONMENT.SCP and the system manager init scripts for examples of how to do both of the abobve. HTH, Kevin
2406.2	Some more questions...	BERN02::MUELLERS	Stefan A Mueller 761-4864	`Fri Mar 12 1993 16:22`	17
	Kevin, Thanks for your answer. It's exactly what I needed. But I have some more questions: 1. OA$FILE_SEARCH_ORDER: for unprivileged users it's OA$LIB:. Does this mean, that TXLs are always looked up before the search order? 2. OA$FILE_SEARCH_ORDER: how to change for 'normal' (unprivileged) users? I searched down all the .msg files in OA$BUILD but didn't find this symbol. I also couldn't find a *.A1$ESO which name does not begin with CM. 3. OA$FILE_SEARCH_ORDER: of how many characters may this symbol consist of? Stefan
2406.3	Its a special symbol	FAILTE::64551::LAAHS	An accumulation of Celts	`Mon Mar 22 1993 15:00`	26
	> 1. OA$FILE_SEARCH_ORDER: for unprivileged users it's OA$LIB:. Does this > mean, that TXLs are always looked up before the search order? There is another special symbol called OA$TXL_SEARCH_ORDER that can take a value between 0 and 3. This determines whether the TXL is search before or after OA$FILE_SEARCH_ORDER and whether the CMTXL is searched before or after the A1TXL. > 2.

It is a special symbol like OA$PROFILE_blah etc. To change it interactively you need either access to CM or the interactive privilege. Typically you would set it up in an initialisation script for the application. > 3. OA$FILE_SEARCH_ORDER: of how many characters may this symbol consist > of? Good question. The only answer I know is 'lots' :-) Kevin
