Binary load based on documentpath()

Hello all,

I have split my development & production environment. When I copy a QV app from DEV to PROD then the binary load should know which data model (development or production) to use (see attachment for folder structure):

DocumentPath() like '*\Formeel*' then

Binary [..\..\..\5_datamodel\sales\formeel\dm_sales.qvw];

else

Binary [..\..\..\5_datamodel\sales\informeel\dm_sales.qvw];

end if

Needless to say this doesn't work else I would not post this . Who can help me?

Thanks in advance,
Marcel

Not sure if I understand your limitation. I don't think the included script file needs to be in the same directory.

You just need to create a script file with the binary statement once for DEV, once for PROD, and have the UI QVW use a relative path to that qvs.

Can´t do that

Binary command MUST be the very first command

Binary must be the first executable statement in the script, so I don't think that is possible. Perhaps someone has a smart workaround?

Maybe a solution based on Massimo's will work out:

Re: BINARY load with dynamic file name

I was hoping that I could determine a part of the file to load.

binary '[..\' & if(documentpath() like '*production*', 'production', 'development') & '\datamodel.qvw';

But this doesn't work either...

Hi Swuehl,

Restriction here I believe is that it needs to be in the same directory, which is not the case unfortunately...

Binary load should be first executable statement .Only one binary load should be used in one application .

Okay!! Yes, that’s a proper work-around!

Thanks (can’t believe the answer is so easy…)
