Open an AB Suite application in the Developer Environment.

For example, Sample.

Add an Ispec and set the following properties for the Ispec in the Properties window.

Add a Main method to the Ispec.

Enter the following syntax in the Logic tab of the Main method.

DoWhen (SWSYS = GLB.SPACES)
Message Error "Enter system name"
EndExit
:: Build up switch command
DoWhen (SWSYS <> GLB.SPACES)
SwitchTo SWSYS
EndExit

Add a Label in the Painter tab of the Ispec and set the Text property as appropriate.

For example, you can set the Text property of the Label to “Enter the application name you want to switch to”.

Add a TextField in the Painter tab of the Ispec, so that the user can enter the application name to switch to.

Set the required Length for the Attribute of the TextField in the Properties window.

Rename the TextField Attribute to SWSYS.

Build the AB Suite application with the User Defined View Generator property set to ASP.NET Web Forms in the bundle folder Property Pages window.

For example, set the following parameters for the single AB Suite host application as below.

Import the ROC model that you want to access in Agile Business Suite Developer.

For example, you can import ROCCLR.model.

Generate a bundle of the folder that contains the Ispecs of the ROC application.

Create a view of the AB Suite and ROC applications separately, using the Runtime Administration Tool.

Refer to Creating Views for more information on how to create a view.

Create a virtual directory for the AB Suite and ROC applications using the SetupASPNet.vbs file located in the path, <root folder>:\NGEN_CE\ASP.NET Generator\Utilities\Setup.

Refer to the Agile Business Suite Component Enabler User Guide for more information on how to create a virtual directory.

Run CompileASPNet.bat from the <root directory>\NGEN_CE\classes\com\unisys\<AB Suite application name>\<bundle folder name>\views folder.

Run CompileASPNet.bat from the <root directory> \NGEN_CE \classes\com\unisys\<roc70>\<bundle folder name>\views folder.

Configure the Web.config file present in the views folder of both the applications.

Refer to the Agile Business Suite Component Enabler User Guide for more information on how to configure the Web.config file.

Create a folder structure in a preferred location on your machine, as shown in the following diagram.

For example, C:\switch\

Figure 5. Folder Structure

*N represents the language or locale number. For example, lang1033 for English.

Here, switch is the top level folder containing sub-folders for each application that switchs between.

Copy the following files from the <root directory>\NGEN_CE\ASP.NET Generator\bin64 folder to the switch\bin64 folder.

Copy the contents of <root directory>\NGEN_CE\classes\com\unisys\<AB Suite application name>\<bundle folder name>\views\langN* to the langN* folder under switch\<AB Suite application name>_<bundle folder name>.

Copy the contents of <root directory>\NGEN_CE\classes\com\unisys\<roc70>\<bundle folder name>\views\langN* to the langN* folder under switch\<roc70>_<bundle folder name>.

Copy the following infrastructure files from the <root directory>\NGEN_CE\classes\com\unisys\<AB Suite application name>\<bundle folder name>\views folder to the switch\<AB Suite application name>_<bundle folder name> folder.

Copy the above-mentioned infrastructure files from the <root directory>\NGEN_CE\classes\com\unisys\<roc70>\<bundle folder name>\views folder to the switch\<roc70>_<bundle folder name> folder.

Copy the following files from the <root directory>\NGEN_CE\ASP.NET Generator\Common\User folder to the switch folder.

Copy the following files from the <root directory>\NGEN_CE\classes\com\unisys\<AB Suite application name>\<bundle folder name>\views folder to the switch folder.

Run CompileASPNet.bat from the switch folder.

Configure the Web.config file present in the switch folder and ensure that ApplicationSwitching is set to true.

Refer to the Agile Business Suite Component Enabler User Guide for more information on how to configure the Web.config file.

Create a virtual directory switch using Internet Information Services (IIS), and point it to the switch folder location. For example, C:\switch.

Type the following in the address bar of Internet Explorer. “http://<deployment host name>/switch/default.aspx”.

The AB Suite application is displayed in the browser with a list of Ispecs.

Select the Ispec that you created at the beginning of the procedure, and click OK.

The Ispec opens and prompts you to enter the ROC application name you want to switch to.

Enter the ROC application name in the Ispec text field and press Enter.

The ROC application is displayed.
