ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5. SMART Viewer General Description ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
SMART Viewer is a utility product integrated into the SMART Toolset which
provides on-line access to the SMART Migrate database.
The SMART Viewer provides a context sensitive on-line help to the SMART
Migration knowledge base.
By providing a topic name, you can display information regarding the migration
of the specified keyword.
The display windows that are available in this utility are "Topic", "Template",
"Prototype", "Example", and "References".
An additional window "History" provides a list of all topics accessed in the
current session.
Features:
On-line access to SMART Migration data base.
Context sensitive access to migration source platform keywords (if
properly linked from your editor).
Capability to copy most display panels and selected text to the OS/2
clipboard.
WPS aware to drag-and-drop colors and fonts.
External references to OS/2 on-line develop help (if installed) is
automatically created by spawning the VIEWER.EXE help facility.
The SMART Viewer is invoked from an The SMART Editor through the supplied Rexx
Macro "SMVIEWER.REX". After you have registered this macro file in The SMART
Editor under the "Macro" menu you will be able to call up this on-line
migration help. Simply mouse click on a Source Platform keyword and invoke the
Rexx Macro with your assigned hot-key.
If you are using an editor other than The SMART Editor, you will want to
create a macro or other linking function to spawn SMART Viewer with topic
names using "SMARTVUE.EXE".
The SMART Viewer communicates externally through the proxy process
"SMARTVUE.EXE", which eliminates starting a new instance each time a request
for a new topic is created. The argument to this executable is the topic name
to be viewed.
SMART View contains a search panel which allows you to enter a desired topic
(keyword) name for viewing.
Selected text from the "Template", "Prototype", and "Example" window displays
can be copied to the clipboard buffer providing "cut" and "paste" programming
capability from the migration data base to your editor.
Additional functionality for this utility of SMART is explained in the SMART
Viewer on-line help facility accessed from SMART Viewer.

SMART Viewer On-Line Help
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.1. Access and Interface ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
SMART Viewer external access is acheived by executing SMARTVUE.EXE with the
desired keyword as the argument to this call.
Usage of this interface is:
run SMARTVUE keyword
Spawning SMARTVUE can be implemented into a REXX macro (as provided to
interface with The SMART Editor, or can be programmed into other editors, or
even used from the OS/2 command line.
If an instance of the SMART Viewer is running, the proxy program SMARTVUE.EXE
will pass the keyword topic to the running Viewer for display. If not, a new
instance of SMVIEWER will be created.
When SMART Viewer is running, you can continue to pass toopics for display to
this single instance through SMARTVUE (as described above) or you can select
"Search..." from the "Services" menu (Alt+S), and type the desired keyword into
the entry panel.
If you are using The SMART Editor you will want to register the REXX macro file
"SMVIEWER.REXX" under the "Macro" menu ('Define Menu Item') of The SMART
Editor. Simply add this macro file and assign your choice of accelerator key
for immediate access. Once you have this macro registered with The SMART
Editor you can cursor down on a keyword displayed in The SMART Editor then
press your accelerator key for SMART Migration help.

will occur if you have the IBM INF files installed and you have specified a
VIEW environment variable that contains the appropriate help files.)
You can change the font in any of the window by dragging your choice of font
to the window from the OS/2 Font Palette. Due to the OS/2 MLE display, some

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5.6. Software Protection Device ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Software Protection Device (SPD) that is included with your license of
SMART restricts unauthorized execution of SMART and SMART Utility programs.
SMART can be installed on a LAN Server. However each client processor
executing SMART must have an individual Software Protection Device locally
attached.
Likewise, The SMART Toolset can be installed on multiple processors - however
each executing processor must have a Software Protection Device.
The protection device is keyed for the specific SMART license that you have
purchased. Any upgrade or different license configuration will require that the
SPD be replaced with an appropriately keyed device.
The following steps are provided to install the Software Protection device on
your computer.
1. Turn off the printer (if attached) and disconnect the printer cable.
2. Attach the DS1410 Button Holder, with button installed, to your computer.
To do this, look on the back of your computer and locate the parallel printer
connector. This is a female, 25 pin connector. Connect the male side of the
DS1410 in the place of the printer cable at your computer.
3. Plug your printer cable (if required) into the female end of the DS1410 SPD.
Please note: The Software Protection Device may not properly operate if a
device other than a printer is connected to the parallel port. This device
utilized pins 13 and 14 for communication. Devices such as CD-ROM and external
hard drives may interfere with the operation of the protection device.
You may also find that some printers require that power be turned on for proper
operation of the SPD.
If you have difficulty properly operating the protection device, first remove
any connected cable and external device from the SPD connector.
You can check the operation of the SPD and your licensed configuration from the
SMART installation program located on the installation diskette (after the
installation of SMART).
1. Insert this disk and type "A: (or B:)" then "Install".
2. When the Install window appears, select "Utilities", then "Check Software
Protection Device".
A display panel indicating your serial number and configuration should be
displayed. If the device is not properly operating, you will be advised.
The SMART Editor does not require the use of the Software Protection Device.
