QUESTION:
How can I move my workspace to a different machine?
ANSWER:
Here are the steps to bring a workspace from one machine to another:
- All source files for any given workspace are usually in the standard workspace structure, so copy the workspace to the new machine.
- Tell the Studio and other tools where the new workspace is by double-clicking on the .ws file and registering it.
- If you have workspace subclasses, the information about the subclasses (e.g. your dbForm class is actually cMyDbForm) is stored in the Registry under HKLM\Software\Data Access Worldwide\Visual DataFlex 10.1\Workspaces\YourWorkspaceName. Export this and import it to the other machine.
- If you have global subclasses, the information about these subclasses is stored in the Registry under HKLM\Software\Data Access Worldwide\Visual DataFlex 10.1\Workspaces. Export this and import it to the other machine.
- If you have global subclasses, you will also have to copy the global subclass source files from this machine to the new machine. They are probably in \VDF\usr\global.
After these steps, all you should have to do is open the workspace in the Studio and re-precompile global and local workspace subclasses. Then everything should work.
