$RESOURCES_OUTPUT
Specifies the location to which Uniface compiles objects, and from which objects are read by the Uniface test environment.
$RESOURCES_OUTPUT { = } {Path\}Directory
Arguments
Path\Directory—directory path and name; if a path is omitted, the Directory is placed in the working directory.
Defaults
| Assignment file: | ide.asn |
| Section: | [SETTINGS] |
| Default value: | none |
Description
If $RESOURCES_OUTPUT is specified , the compiled objects are written to the specified path as separate files in the standardized directory structure. This is usually a directory, but it can also be an archive file (.uar).
Note: Specifying a UAR file can carry a performance penalty. In an environment where multiple users write to a shared location, it can cause locking problems. It is usually only useful when preparing an application for deployment.
Redirecting Files
The $RSO path setting can be used to redirect non-standard resource files listed in the [FILES] section. For example:
myfile.txt = $RSO:TXT/*.txt
This assignment resolves the path of myfile.txt via the path specified by $RESOURCES_OUTPUT.
Example: Using $RESOURCES_OUTPUT
; ide.asn [SETTINGS] $RESOURCES_OUTPUT = usys:project\RSO
When preparing application files for deployment, it can be useful to compile objects directly to a UAR file. For example:
; ide.asn [SETTINGS] $RESOURCES_OUTPUT = usys:project\myapp.uar
Example: Directing Output to a Remote UAR
If you want to compile to a remote UAR, you need to edit both the ide.asn and userver.asn. For example:
; ide.asn [PATHS] $TCP TCP:|remote_host|user|password [SETTINGS] $RESOURCES_OUTPUT = $TCP:myapp.uar
userver.asn
[FILES]
myapp.uar path\to\the\myapp.uar
