fmWorkMate: Prepare to generate DDR

mrwatson-de opened this issue · 0 comments

Problem

Currently when creating the DDR for fmWorkMate any dynamic data sources cause a dialog to appear.

Having just added fmLaunchPad to the list of modules that are opened internally, this produces several dialogs, which hinder the automatic process.

Solution

Add "Prepare to generate DDR" to the fmWorkMate tool interface:

  • Add a Script Prepare to generate DDR in each module
  • Add a call to this script for each module, before the DDR is produced.

In the Prepare to generate DDR Script any 'loose ends can be tied up' to avoid dialogs, for example,

  1. by setting all dynamic data source variables to «Get( FileName )»
  2. by
    • exporting a DummyFile to temp folder
    • setting all dynamic data source variables to «PathToDummyFile»

Which is better?

Maybe 1, because 2 will add DummyFile to the DDR?
