Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Progress Dynamics Administration

Configuring toolbar and menu precaching

Progress Dynamics provides two session properties to activate this feature. You must specify these session properties in the Progress Dynamics configuration .xml file:

StartupCacheToolbars — A comma-delimited list of logical names for toolbars to precache at session startup. Specify the "*" wild card to cache all toolbars.
StartupCacheMenusForObjects — A comma-delimited list of logical names for Repository containers. The menus for these containers will be precached at session startup.

To cache menus for containers against a specific run attribute, specify the name and run attribute code for each container in the list using this syntax:

Syntax

container-name[;run-attribute-code]

If the run attribute does not apply to a given container, specify container-name only for the specified container.

These properties are not specified by default. Therefore, no toolbar or menu precaching occurs unless you specify them.

To specify the session properties for precaching toolbars and menus:

Open the Session Type Maintenance tool by choosing Session Session Type Control in the Administration tool.
Add the session properties to appropriate client session types, such as DynASClient, as shown:



Generate a new Dynamics configuration .xml file by choosing Session Generate Configuration File in the Administration tool. This creates entries in the .xml file for the applicable session types, like the following:

<properties> . .   <startupCacheToolbars>*</startupCacheToolbars>   <startupCacheMenusForObjects>afallmencw</startupCacheMenusForObjects> . . </properties>
