What is VO Productivity Pack?
The VO Productivity Pack provides the VO programmer
with essential tools and utilities to make working with VO even easier. Look at
just some of the things you can do with VOPP:
VO Export Explorer (VOEE) looks and feels like
VO's own repository explorer and provides you with the ability to examine the
contents of AEF/MEF files without loading them into VO. You can search, view
source code, print, export MEFs from AEFs, and examine
application/module/entity properties. VOEE can compare export files and
identify all entities that do not match. VOEE will tell you what the
differences are; maybe the source code has changed or the compiler options have
been altered - VOEE will tell you specifically what is different. When combined
with a difference analysis plug-in you can even see exactly which source code
lines have been changed.
VOEE can be run stand-alone or can attach to the VO IDE to give you the ability
to compare applications and modules in the repository with AEFs/MEFs.
VO System Builder gives you a way to manage
collections of VO applications. You can group together applications, libraries
and DLLs into systems, and then perform actions on the systems. You can touch
all components of a system, recompile them, and generate all executables and
DLLS with just a few mouse clicks from VO's IDE.
VO AutoExport will automatically export your
source code from the VO repository. You can configure when VO AutoExport should
do its work - when VO starts up or shuts down, or at a user defined interval.
So if you need a fall-back position when you've forgotten to explicitly export
your code, or if something causes a problem with your repository, VO AutoExport
may give you a second chance.
VO Global Search and Replace integrates with the
CA-VO IDE. Like VO's in-built search facility VO-GSR allows the developer to
search for text any where within the current application, search path or
project. However VO-GSR also allows searching within the result set from the
last search, optionally excluding system libraries, and optionally excluding
user specified libraries. And VO-GSR lets developer replace text after a search
- the current match only, all matches in the current entity, all matches in the
current module, all matches in the current application, or all matches in the
project.
VO Import Assistant allows importing of one or
more AEFs, from one or more directories. As it does so VO Import Assistant will
examine the export files and, according to each application's dependencies,
determine the order the files should be imported. Any imported application will
replace an existing application of the same name in the repository retaining
any current dependency properties. For example, imagine you use a third party
library that is named the properties of many of your applications. When a new
version of the library is issued you can use VO Import Assistant to import the
replacement - if the library has the same name as the old one all applications
will retain the reference to the library in their properties.
VO Import Assistant allows optional compilation of the imported applications
and all applications depending on the imported code. It also allows optional
generation of executables and DLLs for the imported applications and all
applications depending on the imported code.
VO Export Assistant will export an application and
all libraries used by the application.
Updated Entity List provide a report showing the
most recently changed entities in an application or project. Entities are
listed with the most recently changed ones at the top of the report.
Reset Application Debug Status changes the debug
setting of all modules/entities of an application to Auto and sets the
application debug setting Off.
Editor Print prints the contents of your currently
active VO source code editor window. The output can be configured in various
ways: page orientation, font size, number of columns, line numbers, captions
and more.
VO Project Copy will copy the currently select
project in VO to a new directory. If you want, you can have the code in the new
project automatically compiled and any EXEs/DLLs generated.
Application as PRG/MEF gives you the choice of
exporting an application as a collection of PRG or MEF files. If you choose to
export as PRG files, one file will written for each module in the application.
The PRG files contain all source code from the modules, including resource
statements and DLL prototypes. If you choose to export as MEF files each module
will be exported automatically.
Application Usage is a report showing all the
apps/libraries/DLLs that contain a reference to the current application in
their properties
VOPP Calculator is a multi-display extensible
programmer's calculator.
VOPP Plus! provides easy configuration of VO and VOPP settings.
VOPP Tray Icon gives you quick access to VOPP
status and utilities.
Language Assistant is a utility to simplify the
creation of multilingual applications.
Application Statistics shows an analysis of the
lines of code, comments and entities in an application or project.
DBF Utility allows you to easily interrogate DBFs
for structural information, including index details. The information can then
transferred directly into the source code editor, or used to automatically
generate source code.
Single App Build will compile and generate the
current application using advanced build options.
Export File to PRG converts the source code
contents of an export file into a single PRG file.
And more...
An evaluation version of VO Productivity Pack is

Update 31 May 2007.
This release includes some fixes
and improvements. See ReadMe.txt
in the install zip file for
details. All users should use
this new installation.Why
isn't VOPP 3.2 free for users of
3.1?
With VO 2.8 there were major
internal changes to the VO
development environment. On the
surface these are seen in the
improved IDE, new editor,
updated configuration, etc.
Behind the scenes, changes in VO
2.8 improve its operation and
stability.
VOPP tightly integrates with VO.
Given the original architecture
of the VO IDE this is a
significant and complex thing.
Changes to the VO development
environment necessitated changes
to VOPP to maintain the smooth
synergy. A direct rebuild of
VOPP 3.1 in VO 2.8 was simply
not possible - it just would not
work given the changes. Then
there were further changes due
to Windows Vista, some updates
to existing utilities (including
improving Export Explorer's
handling of files and interface
changes on Vista) and the new
Duplicate Entity report. As a
result there is a small fee to
upgrade from VOPP 3.1 to 3.2. |
