I have inherited an application from a previous developer that utilized StrataFrame. I have all of the source code for all of the SF modules.



I do not have access to the SF installer version they used previously (trying to get it).



I need a little advice/guidance on how to get SF installed (so that I can access its features through VS2005) but also incorporate the existing SF source files I have to keep all of the work that has been done.



Thanks,



Jason

Additionally, although I have the original SF sourcecode (which I am not sure how I will need to use given that I have installed a newer version of SF on my machine) do I also need the SF databases from the original project as well (to restore to my local db for use in the new SF installation)?



Thanks,

Hey Jason.

Unless for learning or debugging purposes, you won't need the SF source code right now to continue the development from where it stopped. Of course, if you guys have a current subscription, you can just download the beta installer (latest version) and then go to the "My Account" area and download the source code for your convinience. For that, you will probably need to ask the company that bought SF for a valid username and password.

It is really important that you get to know the structure in which SF bases its functionality. And having I said that, you do need access to the SF database, which probably already exists there somewhere on your company installation. You will want to have that to continue the work from now on.

How do I resolve this? I need to be able to open the legacy project and modify the SF configuration (i.e., object mapping, etc.).

First of all, you will want to get the StrataFrame database from the people who mapped this project.  This is where all of the mappings reside for the BOs, etc.  Otherwise you will have to recreate the mappings.

Once you get this, just load the new SF update and it will update the structures.  If you cannot get the original StrataFrame database, then you will still need to load the update and allow the StrataFrame database to be created, but at this point, you will have to manually map the BOs to their source manually.

That is exactly the information I needed. We are on the hunt for that database (as I figured we would need it for all the mappings).



In the event that I can't get that database, what is the procedure for re-creating the mappings?



Thanks,



Jason
