- STARTING INTRABUILDER
- ------------------------------------------------------------
-
- IntraBuilder is made up of two major components: the
- IntraBuilder Designer and the IntraBuilder Server.
-
- The IntraBuilder Designer is where you create, modify and
- maintain your IntraBuilder applications.
-
- To run the IntraBuilder Designer from Windows NT 3.51,
- double-click the IntraBuilder Designer icon in your
- IntraBuilder program group in the Program Manager.
-
- To run the IntraBuilder Designer from Windows 95 or Windows
- NT 4.0:
-
- 1. Click your Start button.
-
- 2. Choose Programs from the Start menu.
-
- 3. Choose IntraBuilder from the fly-out menu, then choose
- IntraBuilder Designer.
-
- IntraBuilder Server setup, startup and testing instructions
- are provided in SERVER.HLP, located in your IntraBuilder
- root directory.
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------
- RUNNING THE PREBUILT BUSINESS SOLUTION APPLICATIONS
- ------------------------------------------------------------
-
- IntraBuilder includes several prebuilt business solution
- applications which can be immediately run as-is or
- customized to meet your needs.
-
- The applications are installed into your IntraBuilder\Apps
- directory (default C:\Program
- Files\Borland\IntraBuilder\Apps).
-
- For descriptions of the applications and instructions on how
- to run them, see the README.TXT file in the \Apps directory.
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------
- OTHER USAGE NOTES
- ------------------------------------------------------------
-
- All editions of IntraBuilder
- ----------------------------
-
- * Two updated Microsoft Access dynamic link libraries (DLLs)
- may help resolve problems with some Access tables and
- ODBC drivers. The DLLs (MSJT3032.DLL and MSWNG300.DLL) as
- well as information on the issues that the updates
- address, are available from the Microsoft Knowledge Base
- at www.microsoft.com/kb. Use the site's "Q-Finder" search
- option to locate article Q151186. The files are available
- for separate downloading directly from the article.
-
- * The following ODBC configurations have been certified for
- use with Microsoft Access tables:
- ODBC version Access version
- 2.10.0000 2.00.2317
- 2.50.0000 3.40.2505
-
- * Do not use Microsoft Access (*.MDB) tables or indexes that
- reside in directories that have spaces in the directory
- name. However, you can use Access tables and indexes that
- reside in directories that have more than eight
- characters (e.g., /intrabuilder), so long as the
- directory name contains no spaces.
-
- * When adapting sample code written in VBScript, be mindful
- of the fact that JavaScript is a case-sensitive language,
- and so all events, properties and methods used in an
- IntraBuilder program must be cased correctly, or errors
- will result. It is particularly important to pay close
- attention to the casing of event handlers that are to be
- included in an IntraBuilder program.
-
- * After a successful setup of DBF security through the
- security adminstration dialogs, a dbsystem.db file is
- created. To allow the server to recognize and use this
- file, however, you must ensure that either:
- -- The dbsystem.db file is in the same directory as
- INTRA.EXE
- (located in your /IntraBuilder/Bin directory); or
- -- The location of dbsystem.db is specified in
- INTRASRV.INI as:
- [CommandSettings]
- DBSYSTEM=<path>
- Currently, the two lines above are contained only in the
- file INTRA.INI (you can copy the lines from that file to
- INTRASRV.INI). Both INI files are located in your
- /IntraBuilder/Bin directory.
-
- * You should not save more than one custom form class to a
- custom form file. If you do, you may lose previously
- defined classes.
-
- * URLs to IntraBuilder forms or reports that require a
- parenthetical query will not work if issued from the
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 (MSIE) Address box.
- For example, the following entry into the MSIE Address box
- produces an error ("Site not found"):
- http://server/svr/intrasrv.isv?foo.jfm(123)
- In addition, any MSIE bookmarks that contain this URL
- construction will not work.
- You can, however, use a URL that contains a parenthetical
- query in an HREF link within a form or report, and the
- link will execute properly from MSIE.
-
- * For Windows 95 users only: Microsoft has issued a Windows
- 95 KERNEL32 system file update that resolves a known
- problem with a Windows Sockets memory leak. The leak
- occurs when opening and closing a Socket using the
- Windows Sockets API. Microsoft reports that this type of
- leak affects performance and system stability for users
- who run Windows Sockets applications continuously over a
- long period of time. We recommend that IntraBuilder users
- download and apply the update from the following
- location:
-
- http://www.microsoft.com/windows/software/krnlupd.htm
-
- * To close the IntraBuilder Agent on Windows NT 3.51, choose
- the minimized IntraBuilder Agent icon and press Alt+F4
- (or close the application through the Windows Task List).
- On Windows 95, you can close the IntraBuilder Agent by
- right-clicking on the minimized IntraBuilder Agent icon
- and choosing Close.
-
- * Before running IntraBuilder after any new reinstallation
- or update, you should delete any *.GID (a hidden file
- type) and *.FTS files from your IntraBuilder directories
- before using the Help system. If you don't, you will get
- incorrect search and index information when using Help.
-
- * Do not use accented or extended characters as the first
- character in the name of a control on an IntraBuilder
- form or report. If you do, Netscape browsers will issue
- an error when attempting to access the form.
-
- * If you use IntraBuilder with dBASE files that were created
- with Visual dBASE version 5.5 or earlier, you may
- experience some problems with non-ASCII (non-English
- language) data. The reason: these early versions of dBASE
- normally used the ASCII character set. To remedy the
- problem, we recommend that you change the language of
- your early dBASE tables to the Western European ANSI
- (WEANSI) character set--the set normally employed by
- Internet applications. Visual dBASE users can find
- information on character set issues and how to change the
- set used by dBASE tables in Appendix C of the Visual
- dBASE Programmer's Guide.
-
- * On some Windows NT 4.0 Server machines, the file
- SERVER.HLP may run incorrectly. When opening the file you
- may see a tabbed Help dialog with only the Contents and
- Find tabs showing, if so you will have problems running
- the file. Rename the file (to SERVER1.HLP, for example),
- and change the properties for the IntraBuilder Server
- Help icon to reflect the new name. With this
- modification, the file will open and display correctly.
-
- Client/Server, Professional, and Trial edition users only
- ---------------------------------------------------------
-
- * The NSAPI interface to Netscape's FastTrack and Commerce
- Web Servers has a limitation on the length of HTML form
- variables. In most cases this limitation presents no
- problem, but if you have TextArea objects dataLinked to
- memo fields that contain more data than Netscape's NSAPI
- interface can handle then you may run into one of the
- following situations:
- -- Data saved from a Netscape Navigator browser to a
- Netscape server via the NSAPI interface from a TextArea
- control may be truncated.
- -- Data saved from Microsoft Internet Explorer from a
- TextArea control to a Netscape Web server using the NSAPI
- interface may generate a "Server Configuration" error,
- since Internet Explorer does not have the same
- restriction on the length of form variables.
-
- Netscape servers using the WinCGI protocol, the Borland
- Web Server, Microsoft's Internet Information Server, and
- WebSite do not have this limitation.
-
- Client/Server and Trial edition users only
- -------------------------------------------
-
- * When using Remote Agents with Microsoft Internet
- Information Server, the dialog box "Waiting for Web
- Server to start..." does not close automatically when you
- start the web service. After the WWW service is Running
- in the Internet Service Manager, you must click Cancel to
- dismiss the dialog box. This action also closes the
- command prompt window used by the IntraBuilder Server.
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------
