Sorry Ingo,

Forgot about that.
All the more reason to buy this feature then :-)

Regards,

Theo

thanks uli

below is the absolute basic code which is working fine and able to get trx file now

.. in V9, you can get from the help file the following info:

$ude export

In Uniface 9 you can configure a (dummy) version control interface. In the clustering preferences you can define that you want each component exported to a separate file. Not sure if this was already possible in Uniface 8

Hi all,
Above code helped me to get trx of individual forms.
Now when I try to take back up of entire repository  in trx file (for eg way we do from utilities>>export) I am unable to do.

In the execute trigger I am putting below code, but it doesnt work.
Does anyone have idea what shall be the exact values for registry

$90 = ""
$91 = ""
$92 = ""
$93 = ""
$94 = ""
$95 = ""  
$96 = ""
$97 = 1
$99 = 192
$98  = "test.trx"

It does not work that way at all:

You have to do the same as you do in the EXPORT form:

If the field is empty, nothing will be exported.

For each object type you need a separate perform (with GOLD*) to get all occurences.

Dont't forget to enable the append option.

Thanks so it means in 8.4 I need to do it manually.

ok and in 9..4 is it possible by using $UDE  to take export of entire IDF in screen?

Basically I want to schedule backup of the entire repository on weekly basis

NO, why manually ???

All you have to do is to export any object of the list with GOLD* as a profile.

even $ude is based on OBJECTS so it is the same story (and icomp is still supported in V9)

If you want to save some time, fill out your export form using selct all and enter your file location.

then use "Create Shortcut"

Double-Click on this icon will open a filled export form

Due to a BUG, the "Components" and "Variables" are not checked,

either check them manually or press "Select All" again

Then all you have to do is to press "Export".

Why manually?

Just use the commandline with the /CPY option to export all entities od a data model

so you can do the job with: /CPY IDF:*.DICT XML:MYEXPORT.XML

The Uniface Reposirory resides (according to nthe 8.4.01 REF.PDF) in 4 Models

Table 1-1   Application models of the Application Objects Repository
DICT $IDF
PRINTER $SYS
SYSENV $SYS
TEXT $UUU

Hi Lalit,

you can write a little piece of code accessing UFORM and for any found component
start an individual export.

Uli

You posted it under "Uniface 8" so here is a V8 solution, which runs under uniface 9 as well:

One option is to use the "icomp" please read the complete article (http://march-hare.com/puuu/undoc/icomp.html).

Depending of the object you will export the registers you will need are:
 

¹To complete the component export operation you should do after the icomp :

$96 = 26
$94 = <componentname>
$95 = "I"
93 = "!DEFPARAM" ; ! is <gold>!
$92 = "P"
perform "icomp"

² Specify &!DEFPARAMS in the include name profile (&! Are <gold>&<gold>!

i tried the program and it works when i give the componant name , but when i try to export all the forms in IDF its not working .

I think i shd get the formname and then put it in a loop so that we can extract .trx for the same ?

Hi Lalit,

100% correct:

just build a form based on the entity UFORM.DICT,
select all the forms you want to export and traverse the occurences
start your single-trx-export component with each componentname (fieldname: ULABEL.UFORM)

To load the metadictionary into your development environment, start

.....\\idf.exe   /ins meta

Exporting multiple components to separate files
Uniface 8 & 9

Step 1:
Go online and find a free version management tool that is SCCI based.
You do not need to install it if you just want clustered exports, you just need the .DLL.
(I use igloo.dll)

Step 2:
Goto Utilities -> Preferences -> System
Enter the location of the DLL.

Step 3:
Press the Clustering? button.
Adjust the settings to your own taste.

Step 4:
When doing an export, make sure the option Use File Clustering Defaults is checked.

Step 5:
Check your result.

I have also uploaded a PDF with the revelant screen shots.

Hi Theo

Finding a "free version management tool that is SCCI based" is not the problem :-)

But you need an extra licence in UnifAce to use the SCCI :-(
