Script unable to override features of Object

Hi,

I am trying to create a script for my Object named WebAddress. This object is inheriting WEBNODE:WebNode Root:WebNode object.

Within this WebAddress object, i am trying to override the value of feature .fParentApplTypes

I am trying to do so by creating a function within this object named Setup1() which looks like below :

public function Void Setup1()

.fParentApplTypes = { $ApplTypeFolder }

end

But even after clicking on Build Ospace() or restarting my CSIDE , when I am trying to inspect the value for this feature .fParentApplTypes , It keeps displaying it as '?'

Can anyone please explain what I am doing wrong or suggest a workaround for this ??

Thank You,

Nemish Nigam

Try putting that value what you want the SetUp script to do in the Code space itself ie the place where you write code the .OS file.Another way to think about this is if you come from the builder era unlearn some things form that era.

package TRANSMITTAL::TransmittalLLNode

public object Transmittal inherits TRANSMITTAL::#'Transmittal LLNode'#

override Boolean fAliased = TRUE

override Integer fAssociatedVolume = 31403

override Boolean fAssociatedVolumeInheritAttributes = TRUE

In moments of trouble backup your environment completely import a existing OLL look at how OT programmers are doing it. CSIDE code is very much suspect to corruption easily so what I do is if I create a module which basically installs i name that oll mygoodmodule_golden.oll when the oll gets corrupt the running LL server will not load your module and you will have a hard time finding the error,in those cases i load my golden module and fix it.

With the move to CSIDE, direct assignment of complex structures like lists and assoc’s are supported. Setup functions like those required in the builder days are no longer needed or directly runnable from the source.

Much like other languages, direct assignment is the way.

CSIDE can help you with overriding inherited features in different ways:

1) if you know what you want to override, just add it to the .os file using the override keyword like

override Boolean fEnabled = TRUE

2) when your .os file is open in editor you can (should) open the Outline View (Menu: Window->Show View->Outline). Outline View displays all features of the object in the editor window including inherited ones. Right click on an inherited feature and use the override option. This add the parent's code to your object. Make sure you have a recent CSIDE plugin to enjoy this feature.

3) or alternatively use the menu Source->Override Features. This opens a dialog where you can select several inherited features for overriding at once.

Thanks,

Thanks For your replies Appu and David !

I realised why my script wasn't working, I am not sure but I think it had to do something with the naming convention. The scripts in CSIDE generally begin with an underscore like __Init()

So I appended the same to my Setup0() script and named it like __Setup0() and it started working just fine !

Thank You,
