Accessing ROC from WPF Client Container

To access the ROC application by using the WPF Client Container, perform the following:

  1. Install the ROC system.

    Refer to the Agile Business Suite Installation and Configuration Guide for more information on how to install the ROC system.

  2. Restore the ROCCLR4CF file that you want to access in the AB Suite Client Framework project. The ROCCLR4CF is a .bck file that contains the WPF project files. The ROCCLR4CF.bck file is located at C:\Program Files\Unisys\AB Suite 7.0\Roc.

    Refer to the Agile Business Suite Developer User Guide for more information on how to restore the AB Suite .bck file.

    The DataModels, DataViewModels, and Views projects in the ROCCLR4CF.bck file are restored when you restore the ROCCLR4CF.bck file.

  3. In the Solution Explorer window, customize the Views by using the WPF Designer, if required.

    Note: The WPF/XAML Views provided within the Views project works as is. However, you can customize the Views if required.

  4. Modify the following tags in the <TechnologyFolderName>_Config.rtxml file.

    Note: A default WPF configuration file, “<WPF Client Technology Folder Name>_Config.rtxml”, is provided in the Access Layer API Deploy folder, which is located under the Projects folder, for the ROC project. This config file comprises the appropriate values. However, you may have to modify the following tags.

    • Set the <StartupSystemName>, <System Name>, and <ComponentName> tags to ROC70.

      For example,

      <StartupSystem Name="ROC70" />

      <System Name="ROC70">

      <ComponentName>ROC70</ComponentName>

    • Set the <DownloadServerURI> tag to the path where the dependent components, such as DataModels, DataViewModels, or Views assemblies are downloaded.

      For example,

      <DownloadServerURI>C:\Users\appadminuser\Documents\Visual Studio 2017\Projects\<ROC_ProjectName>\Access Layer API Deploy</DownloadServerURI>

    • Set the <ServerURI> tag to the path where the images are stored.

      For example,

      <ServerURI>C:\Users\appadminuser\Documents\Visual Studio 2017\Projects\<ROC_ProjectName>\Access Layer API Deploy\Images</ServerURI>

  5. Build the application by selecting Build from the Build menu. Alternatively, right-click the deployment folder and select Build.

  6. Run the application by creating a shortcut of the executable file on your desktop or by using the System Modeler solution.

    Refer to the Agile Business Suite Developer User Guide for more information on how to run the WPF Client Container executable file.
