Hello all.
DFC 5.3 included IDcComponent interface for Desktop client development.
What equivalent of IDcComponent is in DFC 6.5?
Thank you,
Alexander
Don't have a dev machine in front of me but as far as I remember, the IDcComponent is installed by DTC, not by the DFC so if you install DTC, you should still have it (of course, you'll have to deploy the DTC docapp too so the type is created in the registry)
This is correct. IDcComponent is not part of DFC.
Thank all for answers.
But, could you please advise about using IDcComponent functionality in the new version of DFC?
Has DFC 6.5 a functional equivalent of IDcComponent interface?
I understand that IDcComponent is part of Desktop client. It interacts with DART (DocApp Run-Time). Is that so?
But now we are using Webtop instead Desktop which is not supported in the new Documentum.
What would you advise me?
As stated before, IDcComponent is NOTand therefore cannot be used from a DFC application.
It is part of Desktop pClietn so if you want to use it, in your DFC application, you'll have to install Desktop Client on all your client machines for your application to run.
Personally, I wouldn't recommend that since DTC's life expectancy is not too long anymore. Maybe the upgrade from 5.3 to 6.5 would be a good opportunity for you and your company to also upgrade technology....
OK!
What technology can we apply if we want to use only DFC 6.5 (Webtop) and if we want to save functionality of previous code but not code itself?
Do you want to use DFC or Webtop ? Those are 2 different things. Webtop uses DFC, DFC doesn't use Webtop.
If you need your functionality to run on Webtop, then you need to use Java and the WDK and create your components. Not much of your existing code will be reusable, unless it was written in Java which I doubt since you mention IDcComponents.
