Re: Runtime Packagers

If this is sufficiently late in the RTP process, there should be an error dump generated somewhere with more clues.

Re: Runtime Packagers

Thanks Boris,

The error.log looks like it is blocking on the getConnectionErrors message of the ODBCThreadedConnection class (see below)

The thing is that I double checked that this method was not removed before stripping ?

Re: Runtime Packagers - suite

Oké,

This time I did not specify anything to be kept.

So all is done by dynamic references.

I got through the first safe of the 3 step stripping method.

On launching the second time the image dumps with almost the same error log.

Re: Runtime Packagers - suite

> This is why I stopped using RTP. I simply don't trust it, and it's too damn hard to use anyway

I've created a scripted version of it (basically only using the final strip action) and am using it successfully as part of a fully automated deployment procedure.

The core of this procedure is to collect the code of the product programmatically from Store, then feed the RTP with the classes, globals and methods and have it strip the image. Everything including resource compilation, application packaging and installer building is done by a single script. It has proven to be absolutely bulletproof.

Runtime packaging should always be fully scripted, because any interactive procedure is prone to human errors.

Re: Runtime Packagers - suite

I've always found it much easier to "build up" than to "tear down". Meaning, I have found it easier to start with a raw base image and load the parcels I need, rather than to take a development image and use RTP to take things out of it.

Just my 2 cents.

Hi James,

I found your updated scripting engines which look great but a "bit complicated".

The latest publication does not provide the scripts and I am notably missing is build-missing-defs.ini

I also got some errors when loading like.

Re: Runtime Packagers - suite

Hi James,

I got the scripts (I think) and creating mine seems to work but this is what I see when I try to run them from the tool.

http://screencast.com/t/9NXbuG1436

Should I run it from a Mac ?

Re: Runtime Packagers - suite

James,

I think I made some very important progress:

I managed to generate some working scripts and succed a build!!

A couple of things,

1) It only works from OSX.

2) It only managed to pass with a single package, all prerequisites where loaded correctly so maybe this is normal behaviour.

3) I loaded the scripts from the last version (before 7.8). The scripts included in earlier versions do not seem to work.

4) I have to specify –doit ‘MyApp open’ to start the application. Is there away to avoid this?

5) My application starts with the default look, but I have been messing around with looks and things some maybe this is normal? Is there a way however to load a setting file before final savings? This will also allow things like message catalogs, memory etc.

6) What the hell does Base Source and Runtime source stand for ? Are these ini files ? st files ? I don’t understand the definitions (from the otherwise nice looking help feature).

7) The image is HUGE, probably includes compiler tools store etc. Any hints to unload these ?

Anyway many thanks already, I have never been closer.
