Launching Data Access
To launch Data Access on a Microsoft windows platform, select Programs>Rogue Wave>VIEWS. With Data Access, it is no longer necessary to use dbstudio to design your application. You can use studio (the ivfstudio program) and load the Data Access plug-ins. Data Access provides the following plug-ins:
*dbmdstud: Data Access gadgets and tools - Rogue Wave® Views Data Access license needed
*dbmdsql: Data Access SQL gadgets - Rogue Wave Views DB Link license needed
*dbmdgrap: Data Access grapher gadgets - specific license
*dbmdgant: Data Access Gantt chart gadgets -specific license
*dbmdchart: Data Access chart gadgets - specific license
*dbmdchart30: old Data Access chart gadgets
*dbmdinform30: old Data Access gadgets
However, if you want to use dbstudio, you must have a license for the Manager package and install it. After this installation, you can go to the dbstudio directory (bin/dbstudio) to compile it.
The Main window and the Palettes panel appear.
