OpenROAD Demo Packs
The first in a series of supplementary OpenROAD
'Demo Packs' can be downloaded from
the CA Technical Support website http://support.ca.com/techbases/ingres/4321.html
It contains simple skeleton (but working) code to
drive the Application Server from various
non-OpenROAD clients.
The general objective of the demo packs is to
demonstrate the application of selected
new features, new interfaces, and new capabilities
*early* and through working examples.
For example, the ever widening integration
possibilities with disparate technologies in
the recent past and in the near term future, means
that it is impractical to build a full-blown
demo of every emerging client technology into the
base product distribution. We will address this
by issuing supplementary demo packs piecemeal, and within a more aggressive
timeframe. We hope this will be a welcome enhancement to the regular eNews
and Technical Support articles and will help to get you 'up to speed' on the
basics quickly.
Please direct any comments or suggestions
regarding the demo packs to me in the
first instance. A précis of DemoPack1 appears
below. We have some other very interesting demo
packs in the pipeline.

Title : Non-OpenROAD Application Server Clients -
Demo Pack 1
Product : Advantage OpenROAD Development
Document Number: 4321
Last Updated: April 11, 2002
Abstract
The Advantage OpenROAD 4.1 Maintenance Release (MR)
contains extended client interface functionality that greatly simplifies access
to Application Server business logic from non-OpenROAD clients. The webserver
ASP demonstrations on the official distribution have already been updated to
reflect this. This is an informal supplementary demo pack containing working
code samples of some other non-OpenROAD clients that access business logic
contained in the standard demo.
Requires Advantage OpenROAD 4.1 Maintenance
Release (OR 4.1/0109).
There are four 'bare bones' client demonstrations
in the pack:-
MS Word client - how to drive AppServer from a
Microsoft Word VBA macro;
MS Excel client - how to drive AppServer from a
Microsoft Excel VBA macro;
IIS/PWS client - how to drive AppServer from IIS
or PWS web server;
WML/WAP - as above, but using a WAP enabled
display device (eg, PDA or cellphone)
