GOAL:
How to integrate Roundtable with Architect
GOAL:
How can I get Roundtable within Architect to allow admin functionality?
FACT(s) (Environment):
OpenEdge 10.1B
FIX:
Customers who use OpenEdge Architect instead of OpenEdge Studio do not want to have two development licenses (Architect and Studio) in order to use Roundtable.
Roundtable integrates with OpenEdge in the following ways:
With OpenEdge Studio, the Roundtable Windows client runs and called the Progress Desktop (_desk.p). Whenever a programmer works on a program, the appropriate Progress program is called (Procedure Editor or AppBuilder). The Roundtable Windows client has all Roundtable functionality - from developer controls (check in/check out), etc) to creating releases, deployments, etc.
With OpenEdge Architect, a free Roundtable plugin is downloaded to work within the Architect environment. The Roundtable plugin has developer functionality (check in/check out, etc), but not admin functionality (create releases, deployments, etc). The Roundtable plugin will call the appropriate Progress program that is needed. In order to get full Roundtable functionality, the Roundtable Windows client is needed. The Roundtable Windows client will fail (by default) when started, as it is looking for the Progress Desktop program to start, which does not ship with Architect. To work around this failure, the customer can update their registry so that Roundtable calls AppBuilder vs the Desktop program. This will allow the use of the Roundtable Windows desktop and a full functioning Roundtable environment with just OpenEdge Architect installed. Because both Roundtable programs, Windows client and Architect plugin, can use the same Roundtable repository, the developer can use either Roundtable interface. Development functions can be done within Architect and administration functions can be done from the Roundtable Windows client.
The registry change that must be made to allow this is the change the value of the StartupProcedure key in the following registry section with "_ab.p":
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Roundtable\10.1B\Startup\Startup]
