| # Copy software components procedure details This section describes the copy software components details. Step 1. Copy components in a software environment The procedure begins by copying the software components of the source package VRC (e.g. tcB60_a) into the into the new package VRC (e.g. tcB60O_a_cus1). Start the Copy Software Components to New Package VRC (ttadv6265m000) session. In the Selection Range group box, define the range of packages and languages for which you want to copy the software components. In the VRC group box, define the target VRC and the source VRC that contains the software components. For example, the target VRC is the VRC code of the LN Common (tc) package in the new customization environment B60oacus. Under Options, select the appropriate check boxes. For example, you can make sure that the link between a form, report, or menu in the source VRC is also copied to the target VRC. On the Components tab, select the components that you want to copy to the target VRC. Click Copy to start the process. Step 2. Create the run-time data dictionary for labels LN stores language-dependent software components, as labels, per package VRC. The labels must be compiled for use at run time. To compile your new environment’s labels: Start the Compile Labels (ttadv1243m000) session. In the From and To fields for Language, define a range of languages whose labels you want to compile. Use the From and To fields for, Package, Version, Release, and Customer, to define the range of package VRCs whose labels you want to compile. Tip: Always compile the labels for an entire package. If your bshell is running on a different machine than the data dictionary, you can either select the: Install files on remote machine option, to install the label dump, and index files on the same machine as the data dictionary. Install files on local machine option, to install the label dump, and index files on your local machine. The label dump and index files are only available to users that use your local machine. Click Compile. The compiled labels are stored in the ${BSE}/lib/labels directory. The label files (and label index files) will be used to display labels on forms, menus and reports at run time, for users of the language for which you compiled the labels. Step 3. Create the run-time data dictionary of the components in a package combination You must create a run-time data dictionary for the new software environment that contains the new package combination’s software components. For example, you create the runtime data dictionary of the customization environment’s package combination b60oacus. Create Runtime Data Dictionary (ttadv5210m000) In the Options group box, select the appropriate check boxes for your new environment’s package combination. In the Selection Range group box, enter the package combination for which you want to create the run-time data dictionary. You must also define a range of sessions. For example, the run-time data dictionary is created for the new package combination b60oacus. Click Create Runtime to start the process. Note: If you have selected the Print Errors check box, you can view the errors in the log file in the ${BSE}/log/log.reconfig directory. The Select Device (ttstpsplopen ) session starts, in which you can select a printer to print the log file. Step 4. Compile the program scripts and library scripts of the copied components The next step in the procedure is to compile the program scripts and DLLs of the copied software components into the new package, e.g. VRC tcB60O_a_cus. Start the Compile Program Scripts / Libraries (ttadv2230m000) session. In the VRC fields, enter the package VRC to which you have copied the software components. In the Prog.Script/Library field, define the range of program scripts and libraries that must be compiled. In the Program Script Type field, select the program script’s type. Based on your specific requirements, select the appropriate check boxes under Options. For example, you can select in the Compile field to compile all scripts or only the new scripts or functions in the new package VRC. In the (Syntax) error messages to file field, enter the path name where the errors and events that occurred during the compiling process is stored. Click Compile to start the process. Step 5. Compile the reports of the copied components The following step compiles the report scripts of the software components that are copied into the new package VRC. Start the Compile Reports (ttadv3240m000) session. In the Package and VRC fields, enter the package VRC to which you have copied the software components. In the Language fields, define for what languages the reports of the copied software components must be compiled. In the Report fields, define the range of reports that you want compile. In the Compile field, select a compilation option. In the (Syntax) error messages to file field, you must enter the path name where the errors and events that occurred during the compiling process is stored. Click Compile to start the process. Step 6. Create the run-time data dictionary of the forms and menus You must also compile the forms and menus for the new environment’s data dictionary. Start the Create Runtime Data Dictionary (Forms and Menus) (ttadv5214m000) session. In the Selection Range group box, you must define the package VRC language for which the run-time data dictionary of the forms and menus must be created. Select the Forms and/or Menus check box(es) and then define the appropriate range of forms and/or menus. In the Dump field, you can select a selection method for the forms and menus for which the run-time data dictionary is created. For example, you can create the data dictionary only for the forms and menus in the selected VRC. Click Create Runtime to start the process. If you have selected the Print Errors check box, you can view the errors in the log file in the ${BSE}/log/log.reconfig directory. The Select Device (ttstpsplopen ) session starts, which you can use to select a printer to print the log file. Step 7. Install Infor Web Help for the components in the target environment To make online Help available for your software, you must install Infor Web Help on a Web server in your domain.
