RemObjects SDK Menu

From RemObjects Software

This is a RemObjects SDK Glossary entry
Feel free to add your notes to this topic below.

RemObjects SDK adds a new top level item to the Delphi main menu that provides access to functionality specific to RemObjects SDK (and related products, such as Data Abstract, where applicable).

The items available in this menu will vary dynamically depending on whether the active project is supported by RemObjects SDK for Delphi and whether the current project already is a RemObjects SDK Server or not.

The images below show the different menus when the server and a client are the current projects respectively.

Edit Service Library

Starts an instance of the Service Builder to edit the RODL file for the current project. This item is only available if the active project is a RemObjects SDK Server.

Import RemObjects SDK Service... / Import SOAP Web Service...

Allows you to import an existing service and generate the Interface unit necessary to communicate with it. You can import either from a RODL or WSDL file on your local hard disk, or point to a URL to get the RODL or WSDL directly from the server.

Service Tester

Launches the standalone Service Tester tool to enable you to run performance and scalability tests against your server.

Schema Modeler

Launches Data Abstract's Schema Modeler tool. This menu item is only available if Data Abstract is installed, as well.

Regenerate Units from RODL

Will generate or re-generate the Interface and Invoker files for your RODL library or libraries, and add them to the project. If necessary, it will also generate implementation stubs for the services defined in your RODL. It performs the same operation that is also executed automatically when you compile your server project within the IDE.

This menu item is only available if the current project is a RemObjects SDK Server project.

Regenerate Async Unit from RODL

Generates a special interface unit that can be used to make asynchronous calls to the server.

This menu item is only available if the current project is a RemObjects SDK Server project.

Turn <Project Name> into a RemObjects SDK Server

Converts the existing project into a RemObjects SDK Server project, adds a RODL file to the project and, optionally, launches Service Builder to start designing your service.

This menu item is only available if the current project is not already a RemObjects SDK Server.

Launch Server Executable

Launches your server project outside the debugger, so that the server will be available for design-time connects or for debugging your client.

This menu item is only available if your project group contains a RemObjects SDK Server project.

Check for New Versions

Checks online if newer versions of RemObjects SDK or related installed products (such as Data Abstract) are available.
