Developer notes
Documentation viewer (doc.p):
- I am using MS Frontpage to edit the documentation pages.
- By using the doc.p program to display the docs there is no need for any
static pages for the Pluspack.
- The doc.p viewer program will substitute for the location of the Webspeed
static files if other than "Webspeed31A".
- It also substitutes links in the Frontpage docs to make it remain dynamic
through the browser.
- I wish to keep the documentation dynamic so I can later substitute other
stuff.
RCS:
- Unfortunately it's barely tested and I have little experience in using it
trough the Pluspack.
- It might need a total redesign as for how I've designed the task-system.
It's based on the Roundtable method.
- There's currently no Deployment Manager, making it unusable as Roundtable
replacement.
- I wish to create a RCS database in the plus directory for xref's etc for
Roundtable functionality.
Compatibility:
- This version is not compatible with Webspeed 2.1, because of extensive use
of dynamic queries.
- It should work on all platforms, but unfortunately the testing has been
limited to NT/W2K due to availability of hardware.
-
PLUS Database: (my wish for future expansion)
- I'd like to have a database (automatically configured) for Pluspack data
in the PLUS directory.
- It should automatically synchronize with ubroker.properties and
conmgr.properties using file-date-timestamp.
- It should keep program data for include/xref data for Roundtable
functionality
- It can be used to configure the FFW toolpack and other stuff in
ubroker.properties.
- It can be used for deployment help for saving and automatically
configuring ubroker.properties and conmgr.properties.
-
Broker-less operation mode: (my wish for future expansion)
- "/scripts/pluspack.exe/"
- I wish to create a messenger that automatically starts one Progress
process and communicates with it using Sockets.
- It would enable an Explorer like functionality using HTML and Webspeed
code.
- This can be used for stopping starting the admin-service remotely, and
killing processes left behind.
- This could eventually be an HTML alternative for the adminservice.
- This could enable us to use the web for Data-dictionary functionality.
