Hi, I've a question on Creating an Application, esp. Creating an Appli- cation Area. I've created an testapplication for 'learning' how to use the new CM functionality. Where I defined the following Base root dir: USER02:[APPLICATION.EHR] Site root dir: USER02:[APPLICATION.EHR.SITE] Then I've executed the Script OA$LIB:CM_DEFINE_APPLICATION_LOG. So, now I do create an application area App. Code: EHR Area Code: TEST Area: EHR_TEST Receive Area: REC_EHR_TEST Base root dir: USER02:[APPLICATION.EHR] Site root dir: USER02:[APPLICATION.EHR.SITE] and the initialization continues. The DirectoryStructure is set up correct. But now here's a point, where I'm confused: After all logicals of this Area were defined, I thought that the Directories would be created too, but they are not. E.g. The Directory for the Live Area wasn't created. Must I create all Directories by myself (by hand), or have I forgotten something??? Sorry, for this 'Stupid' Question, but it's a very brand new way of live for me. Best regards Charly

Hi Charly, You have to create the directories (i.s. the Live and Base locations) by hand. When CM creates the application area it takes care of the CM necessary directories (DEV_*), but not the Live and Base ones. The confusion might start as CM indeed defines 'possible' Live and Base location entries in CM$AUTH$LOCATIONS. This is only done to help you a little bit. You can disable this by specifying 'N' to the field 'Default authorized locations:' when creating an area. This is usefull if logicals already exist (old applications), or you don't like the algorithm used by CM. If you specified 'N', you have to enter the Live (&Base) locations yourself. Keep in mind that the logicals used must exist, the directories pointed to by the logicals must exist and last but not least possible libraries (form, HELP) should exist. Ciao, Simon |
