_OptODE - ODE options

ODE tools can be controlled by a set of options, which are stored in the application database. Options might also be used by any other application using the ODE GUI framework.

There is a default option dialog copied to the project resource database when initializing a GUI project. In order to define an option schema for the application, one has to define a hierarchical classification/enumeration, which reflects the option structure. Each option is represented by a category definition, which may contain a default value in the condition field. The explanatory text can be shown in the option dialog.

Option definitions are used in order to initialize new user configurations in an application or to update user configurations after being extended. The name of the options or configuration template can be set in the DEF_CONFIG_TEMPLATE option in the configuration file passed to the application. The default name is _OptODE, i.e. as long as you call your option hierarchy (enumeration) _OptODE, the DEF_CONFIG_TEMPLATE option need not to be set.

Internal options (options in this hierarchy) might be defined also in the configuration file. All options defined on the top level belong to the ODE section and can be referenced directly by name. Sub-options defined in sub lists have to be references by their full hierarchical name (e.g. Options.Design.Autoinitialize.BottomMargin).

In order to initialize application options from option settings of the current configuration, initializeOptions() should be called in the doAfterHandleActivated() handler of the application ProjectContext class.

In order to read options from additional configurations, one may call initializeOptions() several times. This makes sense, when the application refers to some default and user independent options (e.g. email server access options).

When setting an upper option in the option hierarchy to ignore (case insensitive), all subordinated options will be disabled and application standards will be used instead. Normally, application standards should correspond to that what is described under default. Practically, the default describes the default value set for the option, which might differ from application defaults for undefined options.

int32 pStdProject :: doAfterHandleActivated ( ) {

// initialize common options

  initializeOptions("");

// initialize email options

  initializeOptions("__email");

  return(false);

}

Notes:

The default project context

When setting options in OShell or within an OSI script, options may refer to shell or script variables. In order to set constant string values, those have to be quoted.

OShell example: set Options.Documentation.HierarchyTopic='My top topic'

Enumarators overview

Enumerator details

  1. DSC_Language - Application language

    Application resources (labels, messages etc.) might be defined multilingual. In order to chose the language for running an application, this option has to be set.

    Default: English

    DSC_Language=German

    Code: 10
    to list
  2. DEF_CONFIG_TEMPLATE - Default configuration template

    In order to define default options and settings, the name of an enumeration can be defined in the resource database. The category names of this enumeration (sys_ident) refer to the option variables, the condition contains the default value for the option.

    By defining sub values, a hierarchical option schema might be created. Enumerations for configuration templates should be defined in the global namespace.

    The option template referred to by the name set in this option is used for initialization or updating application options.

    Default: _OptODE

    DEF_CONFIG_TEMPLATE=_EmailOptions

    Code: 11
    to list
  3. CONSOLE_APPLICATION - Console application

    This option is required for ODABA GUI framework applications in order to run an ODE application as console application. Typically, for running OSI debugger for ODE applications, this option has to be set to true (YES) in order to activate console input and output. When setting this option for an ODE application not being started as console application, setting this option to true may cause hanging application.

    When setting the console application mode to AUTO (automatic), the system decides whether messages are passed to console or the GUI applications output area.

    Default: AUTO

     Code: 12
    to list
  4. DefaultEncoding - Default text encoding

    The default text encoding is used in order to set properly coded values for STRING data type properties. Typically (default) is local encoding, i.e. the character encoding currently set for the computer. The may result in displaying invalid characters when data for STRING properties has been stored with different default.

    Usually, it is suggested not to use STRING data type but the more qualified encoder data types (ASCII, LATIN1, UTF8, UTF16, UTF32 or LOCAL). The option is also used for recoding error text information (Error::GetText()).

     Code: 15
    to list
  5. Implementation - Option for implementation

    Implementation options mainly affect the behavior of the ClassEditor. These Options influence, however, also the designer, when one may also implement classes (Application context classes.

    Implementation options affect initialization of implementation resources (classes, functions etc), naming conventions and behavior of the GUI.

    Default: ACCEPT

     Code: 22
    to list
  6. Documentation - Options for Terminus and documentation

    Below, specific options for terminus and document generation can be provided. Documentation options are rarely required and need usually not be set. When using document generation features, these options should be checked.

    Default: ACCEPT

     Code: 23
    to list
  7. Schema - Options for schema development
    Code: 24
    to list
  8. Design - Options for Designer

    Designer options control the behavior and default settings for the designer. Subordinated options need to be checked, only, when running the ODE Designer.

     Code: 25
    to list
  9. strech - Stretch

    Options.GUIFramework.Fonts._std_font.strech=2

    Code: 26
    to list
  10. GUI - GUI framework Options

    GUI framework options allow controlling appearance and behavior of a GUI application designed using the ODE GUI framework. Thus, GUI options are used by ODE tools, but also by any other application using the ODE GUI.

    Default: ACCEPT

     Code: 28
    to list
  11. Settings - Common GUI settings

    GUI settings are used to control, whether current position and size of lists, docking areas and other will be saved when closing an application and restored when starting the application again.

    An application is identified by the project name passed in the configuration file when starting the application, but not by the database accessed in the application. Thus, one may run, e.g. the Class Editor for different development projects, but you will get always the last settings for the Class Editor independent on the development project. In order to distinguish settings between different databases referred to one may assign a section name to the settings. In this case, settings are stored in the registry section passed as name.

    When setting this option to false (NO, false), no settings will be saved when closing the application. When leaving the option empty or setting it to accept (AUTO), "run Software-Werkstatt GmbH" is used as section name in the registry and settings are saved to this section.

    Default: AUTO

    Options.GUIFramework.Settings=IGNORE

    Code: 29
    to list
  12. DockArea - Save settings for docking areas

    When the option is set to true (YES, true), current settings for docking areas (size and position) will be saved when closing the application and restored when restarting the application.

    Default: YES

    Options.GUIFramework.Settings.DockArea=NO

    Code: 30
    to list
  13. Bookmark - Activate bookmarks

    Bookmarks can be used for lists and trees in any running application in order to explicitly remember entries of interest. In order to set a bookmark, an appropriate action can be activated via the standard context menu for trees and lists.

    When this option is set to true (YES, true), bookmarks are saved when closing the application and will be restored, when restarting the application.

    When running the same application for different databases, e.g. executing Class Editor for different development projects, bookmarks are stored independent from the development project.

    When bookmarks are not activated, bookmarks can be et while running the application but will not be stored when closing it.

    Default: YES

    Options.GUIFramework.Settings.Bookmark=NO

    Notes:

    Bookmarks are stored as navigation path in the tree and can be located later on, only, when the tree has coreresponding entries (same tree path).

    Code: 31
    to list
  14. History - Activate history

    The history is used for lists and trees in any running application in order to remember entries that have been selected in a list or tree. Each entry, that has been selected is stored to history automatically, when leaving the tree or list.

    When this history option is set to true (YES, true), history settings are saved when closing the application. Thus, history settings are available, when restarting the application.

    When running the same application for different databases, e.g. executing Class Editor for different development projects, history settings are stored independent from the referenced database.

    When history are not activated, the history is maintained while running the application but lost when closing it.

    Default: YES

    Options.GUIFramework.Settings.History=NO

    Code: 32
    to list
  15. MultiLineEdit - Store setting for multi line edit fields

    When this option is set true (YES, true), current settings, i.e. the current cursor position and visible area in a multi line edit field are saved when leaving the field in order to restore it, when displaying the same content again. Settings are stored for each instance that has been displayed in the area. The instance is identified by the local unique database identity (LOID).

    Settings are saved in the registry when leaving the field and will be restored also, when restarting the application.

    Default: YES

    Options.GUIFramework.Settings.MultiLineEdit=NO

    Code: 33
    to list
  16. Splitter - Save settings for splitter

    When the option is set to true (YES, true), current settings for splitter windows (size and position) will be saved when closing the application and restored when restarting the application.

    Default: YES

    Options.GUIFramework.Settings.Splitter=NO

    Code: 34
    to list
  17. DragAndDrop - Drag and drop settings

    This section contains some settings for controlling drag and drop behavior.

    Default: ACCEPT

    Options.GUIFramework.DragAndDrop=NO

    Code: 35
    to list
  18. TreeMove - Set Move as default when draging from a tree

    By default, objects dragged from a tree are copied instead of being moved. The move operation has to be activated by pressing the shift button in addition. In order to change the default operation to Move, this option must be set to true (YES, true). Than, the default operation is to move the dragged object. In order to copy it, the Ctrl key must be pressed in addition.

    Options.GUIFramework.DragAndDrop.TreeMove=YES

    Code: 36
    to list
  19. ApplicationTitle - Application title options

    Application title sub options allow controlling the information displayed in the application title. The following information might be displayed in the applications title bar:

        database_path : selected_project - application_name [selected_instance]

    Options are in effect for all ODE tools, but not for customer applications running in the ODE GUI framework.

    Default: ACCEPT

     Code: 37
    to list
  20. HideDatabasePath - HideDatabasePath - Hide database path in application title

    The database path is the database path for the database, which has been opened as application database. Typically, the is the path passed in the %DATABASE% option in the configuration file for the application. By default, the application database path is displayed in the title bar.

    Default: NO

    Options.GUI.ApplicationTitle.HideDatabasePath=YES

    Code: 38
    to list
  21. HideSelectedProject - HideSelectedProject - Hide name for selected project

    The selected project it the project currently selected from the project selection list or set as %CurrentProject% option in the ProjectManagement options section. By default, the project name is displayed in the title bar.

    Default: NO

    Options.GUI.ApplicationTitle.HideSelectedProject=YES

    Code: 39
    to list
  22. HideApplicationName - Hide the application name

    The application name is the name passed in the %PROJECT% option. By default, the application name is displayed in the title bar.

    Default: NO

    Options.GUI.ApplicationTitle.HideApplicationName=YES

    Code: 40
    to list
  23. HideSelectedInstance - HideSelectedInstance - Do not display selected instance in title bar

    Usually, the selected instance is added to the title bar, when the application sets the title() property for the project control.This can be suppressed by hiding the selected instance display.

    Default: NO

    Options.GUI.ApplicationTitle.HideSelectedInstance=YES

    Code: 41
    to list
  24. Actions - User defined action shortcuts and action state

    For each action described in the action reference a specific shortcut might be defined. In order to define a user or application specific shortcuts, the shortcut values have to be assigned to the corresponding action name as sub options for this option. Default shortcuts are described in the action's documentation.

    Instead of the shortcut, the action might be suppressed OT the initial action state might be set. In order to suppressor the action completely, the action state might be set to 'suppress'. "hide" might be for initially hiding this action. "disabled" might be set for disabling the action. These settings are not case sensitive and will overwrite the default shortcut.

    Setting a state for an action might be overwritten by setting states for specific action items implementing this action.

    Default: ACCEPT

    Options.GUIFramework.Actions=ACCEPT

    Options.GUIFramework.Actions.Delete=Ctrl+D

    Options.GUIFramework.Actions.DeleteSet=suppress

    Notes:

    An action is the name of the action to be executed, but not the name of the action item implementing the action. Thus, within a menu one may define a menuitem 'English' which calls the action 'SetLanguage'.

    Code: 42
    to list
  25. ApplicationIconPath - Path where the application icon file is stored

    By default, the path for loading the image is the current work directory. In order to refer to an image at a different location, one may pass the folder path containing the image in this option.

    Default: ApplicationIconPath=current_work_directory

    Options.GUI.Appearence.ApplicationIconPath=/home/images

    Notes:

    The path should only contain application icons. This is not the path for the common ODE action icons (DESIGNER_RES)

    Code: 43
    to list
  26. ApplicationIconName - File name for application icon

    The application icon will be displayed on the left side of the title bar in the project window. It will also be shown in title bars of all subordinated dialog windows.

    When a pixmap resource has been created with the name %PROJECT%_icon, i.e. Designer_icon for the project Designer, the icon is loaded from this resource. This is the suggested way for providing an application icon.

    When no appropriate pixmap resource has been defined or when another pixmap should be used, the complete icon (resource) name may be set via this option value. When referring to a file name, the file extension becomes part of the icon name.

    Default: ApplicationIconName=%PROJECT%_icon

    Options.GUI.Appearence.ApplicationIconName=ClassEditor.xpm

    Notes:

    The file passed as icon image has to be an .xpm file.

    Code: 44
    to list
  27. SplashPath - Directory containing the splash screen image

    By default, the path for loading the splash image is the current work directory. In order to refer to an image at a different location, one may pass the folder path containing the image in this option.

    Default:SplashPath=current_work_directory

    Options.GUI.Appearence.SplashPath=/home/images

    Code: 45
    to list
  28. SplashName - Name for the splash screen image file

    The splash screen is displayed during the loading phase of an ODE application. The top left corner of the splash image is used to display the loading status. Splash screen images should not exceed 800 x 600 pixel.

    When a pixmap resource has been created with the name %PROJECT%_splash, i.e. Designer_splash for the project Designer, the splash screen is loaded from the resource. This is the suggested way for providing splash screens.

    When no appropriate pixmap resource has been defined or when another pixmap should be used, The complete (resource) splash name may be set via this option value. When referring to a file name, the file extension becomes part of the splash name.

    Default: SplashName=%PROJECT%_splash

    Options.GUI.Appearence.SplashName=ClassEditor

    Code: 46
    to list
  29. Appearance - GUI application appearance options

    Appearance sub options allow defining start (splash) screen locations and application icons.

    Default: ACCEPT

     Code: 47
    to list
  30. NoticeSignature - Create option signature

    When updating notices, an author line may be inserted automatically before saving the notice:

    Username @ Thu, 27 Sep 2012 ~20h 

    This is the message added ...

    The signature makes sense, when extending notices always on top. No signature will be inserted when the signature did not change. In order to activate generating signatures, the option has to be set to YES (true).

    Default: NO

     Code: 48
    to list
  31. ProjectManagement - Option for the implementation project management
    Code: 49
    to list
  32. SystemIO - System input/output options

    System input/output options allow controlling the behavior of writing messages to the system output area and receiving information from there. System input/output is directed to console for console applications and to designated controls in GUI applications.

     Code: 50
    to list
  33. Progress - Progress display options

    Several utilities support progress information. The way of displaying progress information depends on the settings for the progress options in the SystemIO section.

    [SystemIO]

    Progress=display_type

    The Progress section is a subsection of the SystemIO section. Usually, progress information is configured in the SystemIO section defined in the configuration or ini-file passed to the utility. Within an ini-file, subsections are not supported directly and have to be defined by preceding section names:

    Progress=dots

    Progress.Distance=100

    Some utilities, however, do not refer to a configuration file. In this case, progress options might be set as environment variables, e.g.

    SystemIO.Progress=dots

    SystemIO.Progress.Distance=100

    The progress display types are not case sensitive. The following display types are supported:

    automatic

    Automatic progress information display tries to select the optimal way of displaying progress information, which depends on the number of items to be copied.

    percent

    Progress messages in percent display the estimated percentage of work that has been done. The option will be changed automatically to rotator, when maximum number of items is not supported by the utility.

    dots

    The dots-progress display just writes a series of dots. Typically, dots are displayed, when a number of items defined in the SystemIO.Progress.Modulo option has been processed.

    rotator

    The rotator displays an rotating line in the system output in order to show progress speed.

    time

    The elapsed time will be displayed on system output area.

    Code: 51
    to list
  34. Protocol - Additional protocol output

    Normally, program messages are written to system output area, which is the console for console programs and the output area control for GUI applications.

    In addition, system output might be written to a protocol file. When defining a complete path to a protocol file, system output will be written to this file, too.

     Code: 52
    to list
  35. Suppress - Suppress system output

    In order to suppress program output to the system output area, the suppress option might be set to true (YES).

    Default: NO

     Code: 53
    to list
  36. Distance - Display frequency

    The value determines the frequency of displaying the progress message. In case of percentage, it is the distance between two percent values (e.g. displaying a message each 5 percent). For all other progress display types it is the number of items to be passed before displaying the next progress message (e.g. display a progress message each 100 records copied).

    When not defining the Distance option, an optimal distance value is determined by the system.

    Default: 10

     Code: 54
    to list
  37. NewLine - Each progress message on separate line

    Display messages on the next line. When this option is set to false (NO), each progress message will be displayed on the same line deleting the content of the previous message. The option will be ignored, when the display type is dots.

    Default: NO

     Code: 55
    to list
  38. Remaining - Display estimated remaining time

    In order to display the estimated remaining time in after the type specific progress information, the option might be set to true (YES). The option will be ignored, when the display type is dots.

    Default: NO

     Code: 56
    to list
  39. Trace - Write progress massages to error log

    For displaying progress messages in the error log in addition, this option should be set to true (YES).

    Default: NO

     Code: 57
    to list
  40. Count - Maximum number of items

    When the number of items to be processed cannot be determined by the program, an estimated number of items can be set as progress options. This allows configuring specific processes by passing the estimated number of items to the function.

    Default: 0

     Code: 58
    to list
  41. overline - Overline property

    The option causes glyphs to be displayed with a line above, when the property is set to true.

     Code: 59
    to list
  42. _std_font - Font example

    The font settings below defines the font options, which might be defined in order to overwrite font settings for an application.

    In order to support users, fonts defined in an application should be referenced by understandable names and the number OS used fonts should be limited (not more than 5-10). Font names defined in the application might be added to the option template, which allows describing the fonts referenced. Moreover, this will prevent the user from making spelling errors when adding a font to the font option list.

    Options.GUIFramework.Fonts._std_font.ACCEPT

    Code: 60
    to list
  43. prefer_quality - Prefer quality property

    When defining a single number, it is used for both, width and height. When the drawing is larger than the given size, the drawing is uniformly scaled down so that it fits within the given size.

    When size ends in an exclamation point (!), then it is considered as desired size. When both dimensions of the drawing are less than size in this case, the drawing is scaled up uniformly until at least one dimension reaches size.

     Code: 513
    to list
  173. SUPPRESS_TM_CHECK - Do not check terminology object types

    In order to suppress terminology check for structures that have already been checked, this option has to be set to true. Since check doe sometimes not succeed, e.g. when referring to system types, terminology model object types cannot upgrade to database model types. In order to walk around this problem, one may set the checked state for the terminology object to checked before upgrading the type.

    Options.Documentation.SUPPRESS_TM_CHECK=YES

    Code: 514
    to list
  174. ExecuteProgram - Run document generation in a separate process

    Usually, document generation runs as application task, i.e. the application is busy until document generation has finished. In order to run document generation separately, this option has to be set to true (YES).

    Since document templates are loaded once, only, when running document generation within the application, changes in a template are used after restarting the application. The option should also be set for testing document templates, because than, templates are loaded each time when starting document generation.

    Default: NO

     Code: 515
    to list
  175. TemplateOutput - Output folder for document templates

  179. User - User name to authenticate with

    The user name is the user's email account name, which is used for authentication on the remote system. By default, user name is assumed to be the sender's name, but this not necessarily the case.

    When no User option is set, the application must pass user name and password to the Email::send() function.

    Options.Email.User=sender@example.com

    Code: 520
    to list
  180. Password - Password for email service

    The password set has to be a valid password in connection with the user names set in Options.Email.User.

    In order to avoid entering secret password information in the development database, an application option variable might be defined(e.g. Email_Password) , which can be set in the system environment and may be referenced in the Email settings. When sending an email, the password will then be replaced by the option variable.

    In case of external email program via command line defined in the Command option, the password is passed to the internal mail_pwd option.

    When no Password option is set, the application must pass user name and password to the Email::send() function.

    // in emeil options

    Options.Email.Password=%Email_Password%

    // in application environmanet

    set Email_Password=pa55w0rd

     Code: 530
    to list
  188. Incomming - Protocol for incomming messages

    The protocol for incoming messages is usually POP3 or IMAP. IMAP is supported only, when ODABA has been installed with cURL. Requesting IMAP and not having cURL does not support receiving mails.

    Options.Email.Incomming=POP3

    Code: 531
    to list
  189. Outgoing - Protocol for outgoing messages

    The protocol for outgoing messages is, usually, SMTP (or SMTPS). In case of not using cURL library. POP-login is required before sending a message via SMTP. This simplified way of sending emails may be forced by defining POP/SMTP as outgoing protocol. When defining AUTO, POP/SMTP is selected when cURL is not available and SMTP otherwise.

    In case of using an external email program via the command option, the option value is set to the internal mail_protocol option.

    Options.Email.Outgoing=SMTP

    Code: 532
    to list
  190. Command - Send email via command

    One way of sending emails when cURL library is not available is calling an email program (typically sendmail or executable curl). In this case, the command call has to be defined as option (Options.Email.Command). When a command has been defined, the mail is sent via the command most of other options defined below Options.Email are used to initialize command options. The command defined as option may contain the following command options (enclosed in %...%):

    • mail_host (Host): host (mail server) URL or ip address
    • mail_protocol (Outgoing): protokol name (smtp, smtps ...)
    • mail_port (PortOut): port number for outgoing mail
    • mail_options (Options): variable options that might be added to the command
      • mail_user (User): user account for mail server
      • mail_pwd (Password): mail account password

        • The following options might be used in the command, but are, usually, not necessary. The information is passed by internal Email class properties:

      • mail_sender: senders email address, which is either the user or the address set by Email::sender() property(e.g. john.paul@company.com)
    • mail_receiver: receiver's email address, which is usually set by Email::receiver() property(e.g. paul.john@company.com)
    • mail_header: mail header, which has been created internally. Data for the header is provided by several Email class properties as body(), htmlBody()
    • mail_subject: message subject without header, which is usually set by Email::subject() function
    • mail_message: complete message, which is constructed internally (header, text, appended items)

    Options.Email.Command=curl %mail_protocol%://%mail_host%:%mail_port% %mail_options% --mail-from "%mail_sender%" --mail-rcpt "%mail_receiver%" -u %mail_user%:%mail_pwd% -T %mail_message%

  191. ACTIVITY_LOG - ACTIVITY_LOG - Settings for activity log file

    The Section allows configuring activity log file behavior. The activity log file may be configured for recording or replaying activities. When recording user activities, each action done within an application is written to an activity log file. Activity log files may contain activities for several users. Later, one may replay the recorded activities for one or more users.

     Code: 535
    to list
  192. PATH - Path for the acivity log file

    The activity log file PATH option refers to the activity log file to be created or replayed. One be record any number of session within the same activity log file. When recording activities for several sessions, the file must be accessible for all involved users.

     Code: 536
    to list
  193. USER - User name

    When writing multiple session log files, each session should be identified by a process id (session number). In order to assign a session to a certain user, a user name is stored in activity log records. This is, usually the system login name. When setting the USER option while recording a session, the defined user name is recorded instead of the login name.

    When replaying activity logs (REPLAY=YES), the USER option might be set in order to filter activities for a specific user. When running several applications on the same machine or under same user login, it suggested using the SESSION option for replay rather than the USER option.

    Code: 537
    to list
  194. REPLAY - Replay activities

    In order to replay activities, this REPLAY option has to be set to YES. When the option is set, the application immediately starts running the activity log file defined in the the PATH option. When the option is not set, replay may be started explicitly by pressing Ctrl-F12.

    Default: NO

     Code: 538
    to list
  195. SPEED - Replay speed

    When replaying an activity log, all actions are executed immediately without considering real time relations. In order to take into account the time relations (especially when replaying actions for several users in an activity log file), one may define a speed factor using the SPEED option. 1 defines the original speed, i.e. replay works nearly the same as the original user's session. Higher numbers will increase replay speed by the factor defined in this option.

    In order to replay the session as fast as possible, 0 (default) may be set as speed value.

     Code: 539
    to list
  196. START - Start time for replay

    In order to start the replay process at a certain time, the time value may be set in the START option. This allows synchronizing several user sessions stored in an activity log. Several replays may be started by setting the same start time. In this case, all activities are executed relative to this start time, i.e. asynchronous applications behave similar as in the original situation.

    START=10:30

    Code: 540
    to list
  197. SESSION - Session number

    Sessions within an activity log are defined by application start and end (operation 'A' and 'a'). In order to replay a certain session, one may pass the session number (process id) in the SESSION option. Passing 'ALL' or 0 will replay all sessions in the activity log file.

    Code: 541
    to list
  198. STEP - Number of lines for stepwize execution

    In order to run an activity log file step by step (line by line), one may set the STEP option (typically to 1). One may use any other value for running a defined number of lines in one step. For running the next block of activity log file lines, the action ActionLogRun has to be activated (ctrl+alt+F12).

    Setting the value to 0 will replay all lines in the action log.

     Code: 542
    to list
  199. LevelIndent - Level indent

    When editing code a default level indent may be defined for indenting lined within brackets (e.g. {...}). Line indent is a string that contains usually spaces or tabs ('\t'). The string has to be enclosed in double quotes.

    "  "

    "\t\t"

    Code: 543
    to list
  200. DefaultLineBreak - Default line break

    Depending on operating system, the default line break is either \n (Linux) or \r\n (Windows). Usually, the default line break is set according to the operating system conventions. In order to support different target systems (e.g. producing windows files on Linux systems) line break encoding may be set explicitly.

    \n

    \r\n

  213. OSI - ODABA Script Interface Options

    Several options for ODABA Script Interface (OSI) allow activating additional script features. Most OSI Options have to be set in configuration file or envirenment and cannot be changed in running applications.

     Code: 557
    to list
  214. debug - Activate script debugger

    In order to debug OSI functions, this option may be set to true. The option may be overwritten by the -DB option when calling OSI or OShell.

     Code: 558
    to list
  215. exceptions - Default exception handling mode

    The default exception handling can be changed by using the exceptions directive in an OSI function or setting the OSI exception option to a valid exception handling mode before starting the application:

    accept: When, setting exception handling to accept, the line throwing the exception is executed by assuming NULL values or the operand(s) causing the exception.

    ignore: Setting exception handling to ignore,causes the statement throwing the exception to be ignored. Processing continues with the statement following.

    exception: is the default setting, which causes the function to continue with the nearest ON_ERROR block in the calling hierarchy.

    Code: 559
    to list
  216. nullvalue - Null-value handling

    In order to change the default for NULL-value handling when running OSI functions, the OSI nullvalue option or environment variable might be set to one of the valid values.

    exception: In case of exceptions, OSI throws an exception when a null-value is passed as paramenetr or used as calling object. Control is passed to the next ON_ERROR block in the calling hierarchy (as long as exception handling does not define different behavior).

    accept: When setting null-value handling to accept, the line is executed and a null-value is passed to the function.

    ignore: When setting null value handling to ignore, instead, the line will not be executed and processing continues with the next statement.

    Default setting is exception. Invalid settings will be ignored.

     Code: 560

  217. trace - Trace OSI function calls

    In order to measure time used for function calls, a trace option may be set. Default trace options may be set by the trace option. Default settings may be overwritten in OSI functions using the #trace directive. Tracing function calls allows measuring time but also listing function calls sequences. When combining trace options, those must be separated by comma.

    top: Measures total time for function calls that are called as top functions, which is typically the case when calling a function via OSI utility or when calling an event handler in a context class. Usually this option is used to measure time used by context class functions. The option should not be combined with all.

    all: Measures total time for all function calls. The measured time is the total time, i.e. when calling sub functions, their time is included. The function does not measure time used for ODABA API function calls. The option should not be combined with top.

    interface: Measures total time for API function calls

    hierarchy: this option should be set in #trace directive, only in order to trace function calls within a certain function call.

  218. stack - Stack limit

    For detecting recursion errors (infinitive recursive function calls), one may set the stack option, which limits the number of stack frames for calling OSI functions.

    Usually, a stack limit of 100 or 200 should be sufficient for running most OSI applications: When no stack limit has been set, the number of stack frames is not limited.

    [OSI]

    STACK=100

    Code: 562

  219. run - Run without inital break

    In order to start an OSI application without breaking at first statement, the run option may be set to true. When not being set, the debugger breaks at first OSI statement, which also might be a selection condition or a context function.

    [OSI]

    RUN=YES

    Code: 563
    to list
  220. calls - Trace function calls

    When setting the OSI option calls to true, Function calls are written to system output. In order to write function calls to a file, the output must be redirected.

    Code: 565
    to list
  221. ODABA_TEST - Test option

    The test option has to be set to YES (true) in order to accept structure definitions that are not yet set to "ready" but checked. Usually, structure definitions are set to ready, when a project status is changed to "in production". Before, data type definitions are set to "checked", but not to "ready".

     Code: 566
    to list
  222. library - OSI source file path

    A folder containing source files for OSI functions can be provided for loading OSI functions from the library folder. OSI files defined in the library folder are loaded prior to OSI functions loaded from the resource database. Thus, one may overload implemented behavior defined in the resource database.

    Several directories or files may be passed separated by semicolon. Each path may refer to a file, directory or directory with a file mask.

    [OSI]

    LIBRARY=myProject/osi/Person.osi

    LIBRARY=myProject/osi/*.osi;common/osi/*.*

  223. REPLACEMENTS - String replacements

    Specifc text replacements may be defined while importing or exporting data. When exporting data, by default it will be is converted to c-string, i.e. new lines, tabs and quotes are replaced by escaped characters (\n, \t, \"). When defining replacements, c-string conversion will be disabled and replacements are executed.

    Any number of replacement rules may be defined separated by semicolon (;). Source and target string are separated by colon (:). Special characters as new lines, tabs or backslash have to be escaped.

    [DATEX]

    ; replacing quotes by double qoutes and new lines by '\n'

    Replacements=":"";\n:\\n

    Code: 568

  224. SKIP_TRANSIENT - Ignore transient properties

    Wen the option is set for data exchange, transient properties are not exported. Since transient properties are never importes, this option has no effect fro import operations.

     Code: 569
    to list
  225. NO_REPAIR - Suppress auto-repair

    ODABA automatically performs repainring indexes and instance references when detectng an error (e.g. when an instance had been deleted but not removed from the index). In order to suppress auto-repar, this option has to be set to true (or YES).

     Code: 570
    to list
  226. BUFFER_SIZE - Data exchange buffer size

    In order to optimize data exchange, a buffer size might be defined. The data exchange buffer size must be at least as large as the longest property value in the external file. Usually, this are BLOB or large text fields. In case of BLOB fields (e.g. images), the size is doubled compared with the size in the database.

    Default: 64000

     Code: 571
    to list
  227. EventNotification - Event notification handling

    The option refers to the event notification state. When event notification state is enabled (option set to true), all events/actions passed to any kind of GUI context class are passed to project context function eventNotification(), which has to be implemented in the application project context.

    The feature can also be en- or disabled in an application by calling ProjectContext::eventNotificationEnabled().

     Code: 573
    to list
  228. SaveAfterValueChanged - Save data after value has been changed

    In order to save instances that have been changed via GUI form, save has to be called explicitly or the edit form has to be closed or filled (with same or new instance data.). In order to force the GUI framework storing data always when leaving a field that had been changed, this option has to be set to true.

    The feature can also be en- or disabled in an application by calling ProjectContext::saveDataEnabled().

     Code: 574
    to list
  229. ReplyTo - Reply address

    Usually, the reply address is the same as the sender address. In order to use a different reply address, this option has to be filled. When this option is set, it will overwrite the reply address that might have already been set in header attribute Reply-To.

  231. FileAssociations - File associations

    File associations may be defined in order to associate an action with a file extension. In order to run different actions for the same file extension, for each extension any number of additional actions may be defined. Usually, the action passed to the command open, which will open the file according to its extension type. One may, however, pass any other action name and parameters, which are supported by the program called for the file extension. Typical actions are edit, print, browse and find. When the required action is not defined, the call defined as default for the extension is used.

    File associations have to be defined in an option section FileAssociations, which has to be provided in the configuration file or via database option settings. The structure of this section is as follows:

    FileAssociations

    extension default_call

    action_name action_call

    action_name action_call

    ...

        extension (section for next extension ...)

        ...

    The option hierarchy has three levels, which requires extended ini-file specification or use of xml configuration files, instead.

    extension - name of extension (e.g. odt for open office documents)

    action_name - name of action to be executed. For a file association, any number of actions may be defined. Typical actions used under Windows are open, print, browse, but any other kind of action may be defined.

    action_call, default_call - fuction call for the required action

    Action call strings may contain following placeholders:

    • %f - replaced by complete file path
      • %d - replaced by directory path
      • %p - replaced by parameter(s)
    • %a - replaced by action name

    The call string may also contain any number of option settings as %option%., which are replaced by appropriate option values before calling the application.

    When no action has been passed to the function, the default call as being defined for the extension option is used. The default call is also used, when passing an unknown action. When passing an unknown action and not defining a default call, the function throws an exception.

    When the context handle does not refer to a valid context instance the function throws an exception.

    FileAssociations  ACCEPT

    Notes:

    File associations are used by the odaba::BaseContext::executeShell() function.

  232. File - Intermediate file

    When delivering an email, the message is (by default) passed via pipe (standard input) to the email program. In some environments and some email programs do not support streaming the message. In this case, the message may be written to an external (intermediate) file at the location defined here. Instead of of piping the content, the internal mail_message option will be replaced by the file name, which might be passed to the mail program as parameter.

    Options.Email.File=%HOME%/message.txt

    Code: 583
    to list
  233. Send - Send email

    In order to suppress sending emails, this option may be set to false or NO. Suppressing emails makes sense in case of testing email send processes.

     Code: 584
    to list
  234. WaitPointer - Set wait pointer image

    The function allows setting a wait pointer by passing an image name or style type. Passing a name, the resource database has to contain an image definition with the passed name (not an icon). Passing a number allows setting a default cursor according to QT cursor definitions.

     Code: 586
    to list
  235. WORK_DIRECTORY - Current work directory

    The option allows setting the current work directory at the beginning of a process. The Option has to be defined on the top level iin the ini-file or as environment variable.
