-    CLUSTERING: WHAT IS STORED WHERE    

Clustering - What is stored where in UD6

UD6/CMtool driver is a direct replacement for string your Uniface Repository in Dbase III or SOLID, but it stores your source code in easy to read XML files, in a 'directory tree'.

This is not an Import/Export format, and does not require any change to how you work within the IDF.

Here is the basic directory structure, by default most directories contain 1 file per Uniface object, however this can be altered. For more detail please see details further down this page.

components.dir
model-name1.dir

What is stored in each directory

Uniface sources are grouped together with like objects, and then 'split' into logical elements.

For example a Forms and Component Varaiables (registers) go together, and are divided up by 'form name'.

The following sections describe the two most common ways of clustering the Uniface sources, followed by a detailed description of the mapping between the Uniface Relational Repository model and the UD6 Directory structure. Most of these settings can be altered using the UD6 configuration files.

One file per object

Global objects such as messages, and include procs can be stored individually or as a single file per library.

This example shows one file per message:

sources
globals.dir
control-panels.dir
device-tables.dir
include-procs.dir
messages.dir
TRUST-F_AFA_SATZ_LINE-D.XML
TRUST-F_AFA_VALUTA-D.XML
TRUST-F_AGIO-D.XML
TRUST-F_ANREDEBRIEF-D.XML
TRUST-F_ANREDE-D.XML
.
.
.

One file per library/language

Global objects such as messages, and include procs can be stored individually or as a single file per library.

This example shows one file per library:

sources
globals.dir
control-panels.dir
device-tables.dir
include-procs.dir
messages.dir
TRUST-D.XML
TRUST-USA.XML
.
.
.
