Appendix E. Enabling a Workframe/NT project for TeamConnection

TeamConnection lets you create a Workframe/NT project that has TeamConnection options as well as a set of TeamConnection actions.

Workframe/NT doesn't use the TeamConnection dialogues. Instead, WorkFrame/NT uses monitored commands to invoke TeamConnection.

You must perform the following steps to integrate TeamConnection with WorkFrame/NT:

1.Install VisualAge C++

2.Install the TeamConnection Client

3.Make a backup copy of the WorkFrame Con®guration File which is named vacpp.iws. This ®le is located in the MAINPRJ directory where VisualAge C++ is installed.

4.Replace or merge the WorkFrame Con®guration File with the TeamConnection version of this ®le.

If you have made changes to the WorkFrame Con®guration File named vacpp.iws, you can use the TeamConnection Merge tool to view the differences between the two ®les and selectively merge the text into a single ®le. You can run the TeamConnection merge tool from a Windows command line. The syntax is:

TCMERGE FILE1 FILE2

Note: It is very important that you make a backup copy of the WorkFrame Con®guration File (vacpp.iws) before making any changes to the ®le. Any changes made to the con®guration ®les will not be migrated to a future version. Errors in the con®guration ®le can prevent WorkFrame/NT from operating correctly.

5. Reboot to activate the WorkFrame/NT changes.

Setting up your project options:

All TeamConnection commands are monitored from inside an editor session. Environment variables are used to specify valid parameters for the project actions.

To set or change environment variables within WorkFrame/NT, from the Project's View pull-down menu, select Settings Environment Variables.

You can use the following environment variables:

TC_FAMILY

The TeamConnection family. Required for all commands.

TC_USER

The current TeamConnection user. Required for all commands.
