Views Studio
A ready-to-use version of Views Studio, delivered as a binary file called ivfstudio is provided in the studio/<system> directory. Views Studio is a GUI builder that will help you create and generate Views applications.
Directories
data/ilviews: contains the data files used by the library (inspector panels, message databases, and so on). data/images: contains image data files. data/icon: contains some icons. data/DCW: contains some DCW-generated files. bin: contains binary files, along with source code. The README file in the bin directory explains how to build these binary files. Two useful programs can be built in <ILVHOME>/bin/<system>: ilv2data, which can build a "resource file" that can be linked with your application in order to make it environment-independent. splitdbm, which converts pre-3.0 message databases into the new format, including the new language definition and encoding. samples: contains sample files. You can read the README file by clicking here. For each sample, you need to go to the platform directory and run the make utility to build it. tools: contains more specific solutions to common problems. Views Data Access: Known Incompatibilities with Version 5.2
Data Access 5.2 is source-compatible with Data Access 5.0 (with the exception of the Open Ingres database). Binary compatibility, however, is not granted. C++ code must be recompiled and programs must be relinked because the header files have been modified (for example, to support new databases).
Note that source compatibility concerns only the documented API (with the exception of APIs of databases no longer supported). Data Access 5.2 supports Oracle 9i, 10g and 11g (but it does not support Oracle 8.x and Open Ingres).
