Commands Reference, Volume 2
The Common Desktop Environment
application integration tool.
dtappintegrate -s ApplicationRoot [
-t TargetPath ] [-l Language ] [
-u ]
The dtappintegrate
command links the application CDE configuration files from
application-specific locations to system locations and updates the
system's Browser help volumes for the languages affected. The
dtappintegrate command is used during the installation process of
an application. The application installation script should invoke the
dtappintegrate command at the end.
There are four key subdirectories
under the application root (referred to as $APP_ROOT ) dictated by
CDE policy. The directories are:
| $APP_ROOT/dt/appconfig/types/ Language
| For filetype, Front Panel, and action files.
|
| $APP_ROOT/dt/appconfig/appmanager/
Language
| For application group files.
|
| $APP_ROOT/dt/appconfig/icons/ Language
| For icons used by the CDE managers.
|
| $APP_ROOT/dt/appconfig/help/ Language
| For application help. For example, the default-language
application SpreadSheet would load its desktop icons under:
/opt/SpreadSheet/dt/appconfig/icons/C/*.bm and
/opt/SpreadSheet/dt/appconfig/icons/C/*.pm, where
/opt/SpreadSheet is the value of $APP_ROOT.
|
Note: $APP_ROOT is a syntactical convention of
this document and is not used by the runtime environment.) All of these
CDE configuration files and subdirectories are placed under a common top and
should always include the default language subdirectory C.
In the simplest case, the command
takes as input the application root, for example,
/opt/thisapp. The outputs from this operation are
corresponding subdirectories and files on the application server that contain
relative symbolic links to the applications CDE configuration files described
above, under the following system locations:
| /etc/dt/appconfig
| Top-level application configuration subdirectory, consists of following
subdirectories:
- /etc/dt/appconfig/types/Language/
- Contains the *.dt and any *.fp
links.
- /etc/dt/appconfig/appmanager/Language/
- Contains links to the application group subdirectory and the action script
files to appear as actions under the Application Manager.
- /etc/dt/appconfig/help/Language/
- Contains symbolic links to the help files installed under the
application's root.
- /etc/dt/appconfig/icons/Language/
- Contains symbolic links to the CDE icons for the application.
|
| -s
ApplicationRoot
| Integrates the application located at ApplicationRoot.
This flag is required.
|
| -t
TargetPath
| Links the application CDE configuration files from the
application-specific location to TargetPath rather than to the
system locations. This flag is optional.
If the -t flag is
supplied, the files are linked under the specified subdirectory. For
example, specifying -t /etc/dt/private would cause the application
help files to be symbolically linked under
/etc/dt/private/help/Language. This flag is
typically used only by system administrators who want to create separate
applications and not by the application post-installation script. By
default (with no -t specified), the application subdirectory root
is global to the application host. All applications installed on the
host will have their configuration files copied to the same place for merging
with other application configuration files.
|
| -l
Language
| Specifies the language to integrate. Basically, this flag
indicates the directories under which to find the application CDE
configuration files. If this parameter is not specified, all languages
will be integrated. This parameter is optional.
|
| -u
| Integration of application is canceled. This flag is
optional.
