Step 3: Making the passive image the current image

If you do not already have a passive image, add one by following these steps:

  1. In the System Transcript, select New Image from the XD menu.
  2. In the Image Properties window, change the following values:
    1. For Image Type, select the correct type of image for this passive image. The choices include--
      • MVS
      • MVS Simulation (OS/2 Target)
      • MVS Simulation (Windows NT Target)
      • Windows NT
      • OS/2
      • OS/400
      • UNIX
      • MVS (Empty)

      This selection is important because it loads the correct configuration map into your passive image. This example uses the choice MVS.

    2. For Image Name, enter the name of this passive image. This example uses the name Native MVS Target.
    3. From the Installed Features list, select which features of VisualAge Smalltalk Server you want pre-loaded into this passive image. Note that if you choose not to load certain features at this time, you can load the features into the image later.
      Note:Certain features are incompatible with other, previously selected features. When you choose to load two features which cannot be loaded into the same passive image, at the same time, you will get an error message indicating that the two features cannot be loaded together. For example, Interactive Debug Using TCP/IP cannot be loaded with Interactive Debug Using CPI-C.

      After pressing the OK button, the newly selected feature will no longer be highlighted. In order to successfully select this feature, the incompatible features named within the error message must be deselected.

    4. When you have a development image and a passive image running at the same time, your screen can be filled with many windows. If you want the windows of only the current image to be displayed, click the box next to Hide Windows. For example, if you change from the development image to the passive image, all windows of the development image will be hidden while all passive image windows will be displayed.
    5. For information about setting the locale, see Appendix D, National Language Support for CICS/ESA, IMS/ESA, OS/390, or OS/400 or the IBM Smalltalk Programmer's Reference.
    6. Press OK to create the passive image.

Image Properties window

When you switch to the passive image-- whether you have just created it or it has been previously created-- the XD Transcript window opens. The XD Transcript is to this passive image what the System Transcript is to the development image. The XD Transcript looks like this:
