QUESTION What application should you specify when generating archival code? ANSWER Create a new application, ex. MyArchivalApplication, and generate archival code to it. You don't want to generate archival code to the application that you plan to package and distribute to your customers (it will be larger than it needs to be). You can always delete the generated methods if necessary. To create your archival application, do the following: (1) From an application manager, create the archival application. Change its prerequisites to include AbtBuildViewsApp, plus the application you are generating code for. *(2) From an application browser, find the archival application - Select Classes->Add->Extension - Select the class for which you are generating code * This step applies to VisualAge Standard only, and is a workaround for problem in Version 1. Do not need to do this step if running VisualAge version 2.0. (3) Open the part in the Composition Editor or Public Interface Editor. (4) Select Generate archival code from the File pull-down menu. (5) Select your archive application's name as the target for the generated code. Note: We recommend a one-to-one correspondance (an archival app for each one of your apps). Remember ... if you want to share code, you will have to fileout BOTH applications -- the original and the archival.
