Changing the Propath Setting Within a Project
You might find it necessary to change the Propath setting for existing procedures of an AppObject or SubAppObject. You can accomplish this by deleting and adding these procedures again within your project. However, this results in the loss of any customizations. To accomplish this without losing data, the Open Client Toolkit provides the Change Propath tool.
On Windows platforms, you can use this tool through the Change Propath dialog box in GUI ProxyGen. On non-Windows platforms, such as UNIX, you can use the tool by running the
ChangePropath
utility.ChangePropath
is a Java utility installed with the Open Client Toolkit that you execute with the following syntax:
project-file
The project (.pxg) file for the proxy whose Propath settings you want to change.
propath-file
A text file containing a pair of strings for each Propath component you want to change, using the following syntax, where OldPropathDirectory is the current Propath component string and NewPropathDirectory is the replacement component string:
NOTE: Each Propath component string must reside on a separate line
Thus, suppose you have a proxy whose project file is
Employees.pxg
. You might create a text file namedPropath.txt
with the following content:
Then run the following command:
The component
/appsv2/SimpleQueries
replaces/appsv1/SimpleQueries
and/appsv2/ComplexQueries
replaces/appsv1/ComplexQueries
in the Propath for every procedure included inEmployees.pxg
NOTE: This utility is not recommended for use with Windows operating systems, even though it is accessible on these platforms. On Windows platforms, use the Change Propath dialog box in GUI ProxyGen instead.
