This release includes the following:

        Jargon Replicator - Version 2.2
 

1. If there is a user preferences file "default.4pr" in the preferences directory (normally "./jrprefs"), then that default.4pr will be loaded when Replicator starts. This provides the ability to have a standard system-wide set of preferences values, which could include a custom images directory instead of "jrep/client". To create it, just run Replicator, set the values to whatever system defaults are desired (on tabs 1 and 2), and on tab 2 click "Save Preferences", then save as "default.4pr".

2.  The list of table names on the first tab ("Action Specs") now suppresses the new V9 Progress system tables whose names start with "SYS", and only shows application table names.

3.  At startup, Replicator will look for a "jrep.ini" file in the host working directory (./jrep.ini). This new ini file has multiple name/value pairs, including values that allow you to:

• Specify the user preferences directory  (default is "./jrprefs/"). NOTE: this was the ONLY thing in the jrep.ini file in previous versions, and it did not use a name=value syntax. Replace any old jrep.ini file with a copy of ./jrep/model_jrep.ini and modify the parameters as desired.
• Specify the directory to use for template files (default is "jrep/template").
• Specify a comma-separated list of fieldnames to be excluded (skipped) when generating a maint/query for a database table These field names can be wild-carded, using the Progress "matches" pattern syntax (default is an empty list).
• Specify a comma-separated list of fieldnames that should be put on a final tab in generated programs. These field names can be wild-carded, using the Progress "matches" pattern syntax (default is an empty list).
• Specify the name to put on the final tab, if any (default is "Misc").

4.  The radio button "Convert frames to tabs in a tab panel" is now the default choice. Previously, it was defaulting to the other choice ("Convert frames as separate frames").

1. Format of the host "jrep.ini" file has changed to provide more configuration options.

• Database fields with a "View-as" phrase other than "fill-in" or "editor" are being skipped during replication since the routine does not know how to handle these other component types.

On the client, remove the "xml\jrep" subdirectory and the "images\jrep\system" subdirectory. Do NOT remove the "images\jrep\client" subdirectory as this is used by generated client procedures (if button images are defined in those procedures).

On the host, remove the files within the "jrep/" subdirectory. Also remove the "jrep/template" subdirectory. Do NOT remove the "jrep/include" directory as that is used by generated host procedures and must be retained in order to compile and run the generated programs.
