Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Progress Dynamics Advanced Development


Invoking the session type in your startup command

To start the Session Type with your manager in it, specify the Session Type in the startup command line. For instance, you can look at the command line for the Progress Dynamics Default icon, as shown:

The Dynamics Default Properties sheet allows you to specify your Session Type parameters, as shown:

The startup procedure is icfstart.p, and the –icfparam startup option must specify the ICFSESSTYPE parameter and give it a value of Default, or whatever your Session Type is. Then when you open the session, your manager is started along with the others.

Procedure plipSetup: 
/*------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
  Purpose:    Run by main-block of PLIP at startup of PLIP 
  Parameters: <none> 
  Notes:  
-------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ 
{ry/app/ryplipsetu.i} 
MESSAGE "Test Manager!". 
END PROCEDURE. 

When you start the Default session, the following message appears:
