Re: New objects missing in the build

Hello,

PowerGen V 6.5.0.12     &         PB V 10.5 build 5079.

I am new to PowerGen and am having issues with the build. The build does not include newly added objects from PVCS. Case is where an existing window gets a new userobject and datawindows. After I run the scripts, the build has the updated window but the new userobject and datawindows are missing.

I create the .OLF file and then try the sync commmand.I checked and found that the .olf file doesn't have the new objects and the log show me that the PVCS "get"s the new objects to the build directory. what am i missing?

here is part of the batch file.

Start /Wait I:\PwrGn105 /F=I:\%appname%\%apppath%.gen /O=I:\%appname%\%apppath%.olf /E /P >> I:\log\%apppath%_powergen.log
if exist I:\%apppath%\%apppath%.err goto :PBGENERR

Start /Wait I:\PwrGn105 /K=I:\%appname%\%apppath%.gen I:\%appname%\%apppath%.olf /RP >> I:\log\%apppath%_powergen.log
if exist I:\%apppath%\%apppath%.err goto :PBGENERR

TIA

Re: New objects missing in the build

If you are enumerating the objects in the OLF and you've added a new object the OLF has to change.  If you are generating it from PBLs, then those PBLs must contain the new objects.

If possible use the wild card syntax for the OLF.  This requires you to organize your directories so that all the objects for a PBL are found in a unique directory, but the benefit is that PowerGen, via the wild card OLF, will just import all the objects in the directory without needing to update the enumerated OLF.

Let me know if I can help further.

Phil

Re: New objects missing in the build

Is there an issue with PowerGen and Unicode text format of the *.sr? files? The files in Unicode format do not get imported into the libraries properly and hence cause the build to fail. which is the right format that works with PowerGen?

PowerGen V6.5 does not import Unicode files, just ANSI and HEXASCII.

PowerGen V7.0 which will be out shortly does.  We can make a pre-release available to anyone who needs it; contact us.
