How to use Global Variables to populate Macro Variables in a HATS Transformation Macro If you want to populate a macro variable with a global variable value, there is an easy way to do so. The first step is to make sure that there is a global variable to prompt from. Create a Global Variable In your screen customization, go to the Actions tab. Choose Add and select Set Global Variable . Name the global variable and give it an initial value so that we can use it in the macro later. Click Finish and make sure that the actions are in the proper... [More]

Creating projects with HATS V7.5 after applying RAD V7.5.5 fix pack may cause problems

RationalGerald 0600005S6U | | Comments (2) | Visits (5862)

Tweet
If you have HATS V7.5.0.x installed and have upgraded to RAD V7.5.5 fix pack level, when you create a new project you will get a WebContent folder when you create a HATS Web project. This is in addition to the Web Content folder that the HATS Toolkit creates and uses. This problem occurs when you are using RAD V7.5.5 or later. This extra WebContent folder may cause problems, especially when using Integration Objects. To eliminate this extra WebContent folder in a HATS Web project: Right click on your HATS project and choose Properties Select... [More]

The difference between IOs and Macros

HATS_OFF 060000SFXC | | Visits (5081)

Tweet
Integration objects play an important role in managing the state of an application or creating a new host connection. However, they typically are used for starting a new HATS connection from within an existing HATS customization. So when should you use an integration object? Web services and combining multiple hosts data onto a single screen are the two options of choice. Integration objects are essentially a Java wrapper the encapsulates the macro state management. What I mean by that is, you can call setters and getters on the integration... [More]

Subtle HATS Topics

RonCraig 120000N04A | | Comment (1) | Visits (5071)

Tweet
I've been toying with the idea of writing a number of short articles covering HATS topics that have come up in the past. Some more esoteric or subtle HATS topics. These wouldn't be multi-author white papers--nothing that elaborate. Just a casual discussion of issues raised and solved in the past--issues that somebody else might encounter. My question is, where should I put such items? Would folks be more likely to find them in a section under Documents or should I make them Blog posts? This would be topics like connection pooling, servlet... [More]
