The first time you start VisualAge, you must connect your development image to the manager library file. The process of connecting your image to the development library is referred to as recaching method pointers. Simply put, recaching method pointers synchronizes the contents of your client development image file with the Smalltalk source code that resides within the manager library file installed on the server.
Note: | If you have installed VisualAge Smalltalk Enterprise stand-alone, your manager library file is installed on your client workstation. Nevertheless, you must establish image ownership and recache method pointers. |
You will be presented with a message that says, among other things, Do you want to recache the method pointers? Selecting Yes causes a progress indicator to be displayed during the recache phase. When complete, an informational message is displayed. Select OK to continue.
