I have a Classic Hyper file and want to change it to Client/Server. I have looked at the Help and put the following in my Project Initialization:
PAMUConnection is Connection
// Connection Settings
PAMUConnection..Provider = hAccessHFClientServer
PAMUConnection..User = "admin"
PAMUConnection..Password = ""
PAMUConnection..Server = "PaulPhenom"
PAMUConnection..Database = ""
PAMUConnection..CryptMethod = hCryptNo
gbDone is boolean
// Opening the connection
gbDone = HOpenConnection(PAMUConnection)
I have the HF Server installed and the services are running. When I run the app the HOpenConnection returns True, but I can not tell if the HF Server is running the the Hyper File or the WinDev executable.
I have looked in the HF Server/BDD folder and do not see the files that the Help shows: My app, Client.Fic, etc.
Also, once a Hyper File has been converted to Client/Server can it be converted back to classic?
Any help is greatly appreciated. |

Paul (?),
By default, your application uses the design-time connection from the analysis (i.e. MyConnection1 or something like that), which is still pointing to your classic files.
You have to use HChanceConnection(*,PAMUConnection) to point to your new connection.
If you have HCreationIfNotFound somewhere in your code, you will see the empty, new datafiles in HF Server\BDD\your_app
Do you want to use your (already filled) classic data files? Just copy them into HF Server\BDD\your_app. There is no need for conversion. The structure of the datafiles are exactly the same. (even on pocket-pc and windev mobile...)

Arie,
Thanks! That worked. It was really very simple. So if my design time connection is Classic, when I create an executable it will always have to run the HDescribeConnection and HChangeConnection commands? That is what my tests show. I open my data files with Client/Server and then went back to Classic for the same data files and it worked fine. So I assume this is okay.
Do the data files always have to be located in BDD/Database Name ? Is there a way to redirect the location of the data files in Client/Server mode?
Does the HyperFile Server and the Manta Server always have to run as services or can they be launched when needed?

Paul,
1. yes, you have to use HDescribeConnection and HChangeConnection. Well in fact there's another option. See this post http://f16.parsimony.net/forum28986/messages/34030.htm
2. afaik you can change "HFServer\BBD" during install of the hf-server. Then you can name "Database Name" to what ever you want, which corresponds to HOpenConnection(....,database,....)
3. HFCS are NT-services. You could use "NET START .." in a batch/script to start/stop them on-demand.
