These configuration maps should be imported into your development library so that it
can be loaded by all of the users sharing that library. The step-by step instructions are
described in “Installing and activating the ENVY/Manager-TeamConnection Bridge” on
page 253 .
Usually, the Library Supervisor or the first user to use the bridge will perform this
operation and then inform other users that the tool is available in the library.
The sections that follow describe the steps necessary to set up the bridge and verify
that it is functional.
Setting up the bridge environment
The following information is especially pertinent to the individual(s) responsible for
bridge setup and administration.
Prerequisites
Before the bridge will work, you must have the following:
v VisualAge Smalltalk Pro Version 4.0 or later installed. See the VisualAge Smalltalk
documentation to confirm that you have the appropriate hardware and software
prerequisites available.
v A TeamConnection server that is running.
v A TeamConnection GUI client installed on the machine where you are running your
Smalltalk image.
Note: This release of the bridge only runs on OS/2 and Windows platforms.
You should verify that you are able to communicate with the relevant TeamConnection
server by using the TeamConnection GUI client. If you cannot communicate with the
TeamConnection server in this manner, the bridge will definitely not function correctly.
Only certain releases of TeamConnection support the bridge. If you have received the
bridge with your release of TeamConnection, you probably have a matching version. If
not, then you may have to upgrade your release of TeamConnection. The DLL
TCEMBR.DLL should be available to programs in your environment, because this is the
DLL that contains the primitives used by the bridge.
Environment variables
The bridge relies on the user to specify the various parameters that make up the
TeamConnection context. By default, the bridge will query the variables in the
environment that the image is running. These variables, TC_FAMILY , TC_RELEASE ,
and TC_WORKAREA, are used as initial values for the default TeamConnection
context.
There are two additional environment variables that can be defined for the bridge, as
follows:
