The Select AVM and layout options page of the New OpenEdge Project wizard allows you to specify the OpenEdge AVM options and the Project layout options. You can use this page to specify the project runtime, the project source folder, and the project r-code folder. The OpenEdge AVM options on this page depend upon the project type you select on the Create an OpenEdge Project page and the facets associated with it.
It contains the following controls:
| Use project-specific AVM | Specifies that an AVM, dedicated solely to the project you are
creating, starts whenever you open the current workspace. To change this setting after the project is created, use the Progress OpenEdge properties page. |
| Use shared AVM | Specifies use of the AVM that is available to all projects in the
workspace. To change this setting after the project is created, use the Progress OpenEdge properties page. |
| Use TTY for runtime | Allows you to run ABL procedures and classes in a character
client window rather than in a GUI window. A separate window opens
for each program that you run. The wizard automatically selects this option based on the project type you select on the Create an OpenEdge Project page. Note: The
GUI client is supported only on Windows. Therefore, on
non-Windows platforms, Use TTY for runtime is
automatically selected and cannot be changed. It does not change
according to the type of project you select.
In addition to the client windows that open when you run programs, a runtime console is launched for the project AVM when the project opens or for the shared AVM when the workspace opens. However, by default this console window is hidden. After the project is created, to change the TTY setting or to make the project runtime console visible, use the Progress OpenEdge properties page (if using a project-specific AVM) or the Shared AVM preferences page. |
| Use project root directory for source and r-code | Specifies that source and r-code will be in the top-level of the project folder.
Note: This option is selected by default.
|
| Use separate source and r-code directories | Specifies where source and r-code are located if the location is
other than the project root directory. Paths must be specified
relative to the project root directory. Note: This setting
establishes a relationship only between one source location and
specified corresponding r-code destination. If r-code is
generated from source residing in any other location in the
project, it will end up, by default, in the same directory as
the source. Also note that the default build destination
property can be changed if you clear the Source directory
selection but retain the R-code directory selection. The
specified r-code destination will be applicable to source code
from any location in the project.
After the project is created, use the Build or PROPATH/Source properties pages to modify or extend these settings. |
