ABSTRACT:

GW5 changes from Beta 3 to Beta 4 in C3POs.

How to get a C3PO that works with Beta 3 to work under Beta 4 (when it is available)

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Problem: C3POs that work with GW 5 Beta 3, will not work with Beta 4.

Solution: The entry in the Windows registry named GW.APPLICATION should be renamed to GW.CLIENT.

This entry is found in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareNovellGrouWise5.0C3PODataTypes.

Also, the C3POAutoEvents names have changed. For example, the Open event used to be GW#C#272. In Beta 4 it is changed to GW#C#OPEN.

The following are new defines from the C3POInc.pas file that need to be changed in the event defines for C3POs:

{Prebuilt Command ID's} eGW_CMDID_ACCEPT = 'GW#C#ACCEPT'; eGW_CMDID_ARCHIVE = 'GW#C#ARCHIVE'; eGW_CMDID_COMPLETE = 'GW#C#COMPLETE'; eGW_CMDID_COMPOSE = 'GW#C#COMPOSE'; eGW_CMDID_DECLINE = 'GW#C#DECLINE'; eGW_CMDID_DELEGATE = 'GW#C#DELEGATE'; eGW_CMDID_DELETE = 'GW#C#DELETE'; eGW_CMDID_DOC_CHECKIN = 'GW#C#DOC_CHECKIN'; eGW_CMDID_DOC_CHECKOUT = 'GW#C#DOC_CHECKOUT'; eGW_CMDID_DOC_RESETINUSE = 'GW#C#DOC_RESETINUSE'; eGW_CMDID_FORWARD = 'GW#C#FORWARD'; eGW_CMDID_INFO = 'GW#C#INFO'; eGW_CMDID_OPEN = 'GW#C#OPEN'; eGW_CMDID_PRINT = 'GW#C#PRINT'; eGW_CMDID_PROPERTIES = 'GW#C#PROPERTIES'; eGW_CMDID_REPLY = 'GW#C#REPLY'; eGW_CMDID_RESEND = 'GW#C#RESEND'; eGW_CMDID_SAVE = 'GW#C#SAVE'; eGW_CMDID_SAVEAS = 'GW#C#SAVEAS'; eGW_CMDID_SETALARMS = 'GW#C#SETALARMS'; eGW_CMDID_UNDELETE = 'GW#C#UNDELETE'; eGW_CMDID_VIEW = 'GW#C#VIEW';

{Event Command ID's} eGW_CMDEVTID_ONREADY = 'GW#E#0'; eGW_CMDEVTID_NEWMESSAGE = 'GW#E#1'; eGW_CMDEVTID_ONSHUTDOWN = 'GW#E#2';

The following data is from the GWC3PO.H file for the C/C++ C3POs:

typedef enum { eGW_CMD_UNKNOWN, eGW_CMD_ACCEPT, eGW_CMD_ARCHIVE, eGW_CMD_COMPLETE, eGW_CMD_COMPOSE, eGW_CMD_DECLINE, eGW_CMD_DELEGATE, eGW_CMD_DELETE, eGW_CMD_DOC_CHECKIN, eGW_CMD_DOC_CHECKOUT, eGW_CMD_DOC_RESETINUSE, eGW_CMD_FORWARD, eGW_CMD_OPEN, eGW_CMD_PRINT, eGW_CMD_PROPERTIES, eGW_CMD_REPLY, eGW_CMD_RESEND, eGW_CMD_SAVE, eGW_CMD_SAVEAS, eGW_CMD_SETALARMS, eGW_CMD_UNDELETE, eGW_CMD_END_OF_LIST } GwCommand;

typedef enum { eGW_EVT_READY, eGW_EVT_DELIVERY, eGW_EVT_SHUTDOWN } GWEVENT;

NOTE: Use the above defines and enumerations for the Beta 4 C3POs. You will also need to change any registry entries that have the reference the old event names to the new event names listed above.
