Selecting Objects for Generation

To perform a generate, switch to the relevant generation set if necessary by clicking the Choose Generation Set button in the top toolbar.

The tabsheets Forms, Popup Forms, Reports, Global routine dll's, Cons. Webservices and Prov. Webservices lists those objects in the application. This list can be filtered with the Display <> generated checkbox, which when checked will display only objects requiring generation.

info Note: the following objects will not be listed in these tabsheets: Indexes, Stored Procedures, Tables, File Definitions, Insertable Forms, Insertable Global Routines, Performable Global Routines and Insertable Reports. These objects are called/used by the objects listed in the tabsheets, so any changes made to them will automatically set the relevant objects in the tabsheets to have a status of 'Changed' and be marked for generation.

Each object has a checkbox, which is used to select/deselect the object for generation. The LION Developer automatically recognizes which objects are newly created, or changed, and sets this checkbox accordingly.

You can choose to generate additional objects by checking the object's checkboxes. The Select All button will select all objects on all tabsheets for generation, the Select None button will deselect all objects.

Selecting the Debug checkbox will generate a debug version of the selected object(s).

By selecting from the Priority listbox the generation priority can be changed. The default value is Normal.

The Generate button will start the generation of only the selected objects. The Whole System button will generate the entire application. The Web deploy button will deploy the Web Client to the ...\<Application>\Binaries\Client directory.
