I am trying to recompile edbsrvr (unicode). When I open main.pas I get Error "Class
TEDBTaskPaneScrollBox not found". I can not find it where is it located? (of course I have
"ElevateDB VCL Client-Server with Source" and Delphi 2007). Also I am not please at all
looking at server code. All strings whether it will or will not be visible to user. That
way I can not easily create localized version of server.

Marcin

You can find it, as well as other utility components and routines needed to
compile the
server, in "edbutilcomps.pas".

Thank you.

Indeed I found it and server compiles fine but I wanted to make simple adjustments to
ServerEngine component (enable large file support). Since this component is missing on my
palette I had to convert main.dfm to text and change properties in notepad. If I did that
in Delphi these components were gone. Maybe you should include package with helper
components or maybe that is only my case. As to the localization: do you plan on moving
all texts to resourcestrings?

Marcin.

You don't need to recompile the server to enable large file support.
Just add (or change to "1") "Large File Support=1" under the [Server]
section of "edbsrvr.ini" file and then restart the server. You can read
about the server setting and the location of "edbsrvr.ini" here:

Fernando,

<< You don't need to recompile the server to enable large file support. >>

Fair comment.  But I think that there is a genuine "ease of use" problem here.
Why make the steep EDB learning curve even steeper?

Surely users should not be faced with errors when trying to recompile edbsrvr?
I stumbled over the same error:
 "Class TEDBTaskPaneScrollBox not found".

Perhaps Tim could change the install so that these necessary Elevate components
are installed automatically for any user who has bought the source code?

Regards,
Dan

> You don't need to recompile the server to enable large file support.

I understand you do not want us to compile server. What if I do not want to include
configuration file? More config files is more places users can mess around. How can I
change server signature without recompiling?

Another question is how to specify signature in ElevateDB manager? If I recompile server
with different signature and set same signature in my client program my program can
connect to server but ElevateDB manager cannot (i put new signature in "Signature" field
on remote tab in session properties).

Dan,

I agree that this topic (compiling server and manager) should have more
attention in the documentation, as that could save us some time trying to
figure out how to do it, however I don't fell the need for an automatic
installation of the additional components. Not everyone needs that, and it's
very easy to do for those those who need it if you have the required
information in the documentation.

Marcin,

First of all, a clarification: I'm not an employee of Elevate Software. From
your posts I had the impression that you think I am, but that's not the
case, and that's why I couldn't give an answer to some of your questions -
you must wait for an "official" answer from Elevate.

> Another question is how to specify signature in ElevateDB manager?

In that case you really need to recompile the server and EDB Manager.
However, if you are going to recompile, you should create a package
containing the additional components and install them in your component
palette.

Fernando,

Thank you for your replays and clarification. I thought that Elevate Team means Elevate
software. I will create package and install it in Delphi.


Regards Marcin.

Marcin,

Team Elevate is only a group of users who volunteered to help here in
newsgroups.

> I will create package and install it in Delphi.
If you need further assistence, just post and I'll be glad to help, if I can
(and if i know the answers, of course .
