Using the ENVY/Manager-TeamConnection Bridge
You can perform TeamConnection functions on ENVY components, provided that you
supply parameters necessary to identify a
bridge configuration
. Bridge configuration
parameters are defined by the Default Properties notebook, as described in “Setting
default properties”.
Each time the bridge interacts with TeamConnection, it uses the parameters in a bridge
configuration to ensure that the behavior of the operation is in accordance with the
users’ specifications. Because specifying a configuration for each operation would be
time-consuming and most operations would use the same configuration, you can
specify a default configuration. Each time the user initiates an operation, you can use
the default configuration or modify it.
The default configuration is stored in the image so that once it is setup, it will be
maintained until the bridge is reloaded from the library.
Setting default properties
To set properties for import and export actions across the ENVY/Manager-
TeamConnection Bridge, open the Default Properties notebook as described in
“Testing the ENVY/Manager-TeamConnection Bridge” on page 254. The Default
Properties notebook contains four pages of settings, as follows:
v Context page
v Operations page
v Import page
v Export page
Each page of the Default Properties notebook includes the following controls:
Show this dialog when exporting and importing
checkbox
The Show this dialog when exporting and importing checkbox specifies
whether the dialog should be shown each time an import/export operation for
the bridge is initiated by the user. If the dialog is shown, it gives the user the
opportunity the default configuration for a particular operation only.
push buttons
OK Saves the current settings as default setting. This option may not be
available if some fields are left incomplete or contain invalid values.
Cancel Closes the Default Properties notebook and ignores any changes
made in the dialog.
Defaults
Updates the dialog fields with the values in the current default bridge
configuration.
Reset Updates the dialog fields with the initial values that are set when the
bridge is first loaded into the image.
