Newbie Question...how do I get to they code?

Post by commatom » 20 Mar 2009, 14:06

I have a question.

Im brand new to GUPTA. I am helping out on a project, I am a database developer. My client has a Centura application sitting on SQL Server. I want to fix some bad SQL but I cant get into the source code.

I just installed Team Developer, now what App am I going to look into to see this code? and what type of files am I looking to load into TD.

Please any point in the right direction will be greatly appreciated. Who knows, maybe I can tune some SQL for you someday.

Congratulations on entering the magic world of Gupta - you are truely privileged .
You need to find the mainline application which will be suffixed .app .Usually this is stored in a code repository such as Visual Source Safe or Gupta TeamObjectManager. Usually ( but not always ) the mainline application has the same name as the .exe runtime file/s.
eg Main.exe = Main.app.
Once found, run cbi20.exe ( this varies depending on which version of TD you are running - cbi20.exe = CTD2000 ), open the .app file - it will probably complain about not finding any include libraries ( .apl ) as they need to be in the same path as the .app .
Come back once you have got this far - and the app opens completely without any error messages, then we can proceed...

Thanks for your help Steve. I am slowly getting there.
