Run Application Toolbar Button

Use the Run Application button from the Browser toolbar to run a JADE application.

The Run Application dialog, shown in the following diagram, is then displayed.

The Run Application toolbar button is disabled in browser windows of the latest schema context.

To bypass the Run Application dialog, right-click on the Run Application toolbar button.

To run your JADE application

  1. In the Application Name combo box, select the application that you want to run. The current application is displayed by default.

    If you want to run another application in the current schema, select the appropriate application in the Application Name list box. If no application is set, the first application is displayed.

    For details about running a superschema application from the current schema, see step 7 of this instruction.

  2. Check the Activate Debugger check box if you want to activate the debugger for the application. By default, the debugger is not activated when an application is run.

  3. Check the Run in Debug Ready Mode check box if you want to run the application in debug mode but without the debugger being initiated when this is checked. Attaching to that application then allows debugging of any method already on the execution stack. (For details, see "Attaching the Debugger to a Running Application", in Chapter 1 of the JADE Runtime Application Guide.)

    If the application is idle and no modal dialogs are displayed, attaching the debugger is equivalent to running in debug‑ready mode.

  4. Check the New Copy check box if you want to run a new copy of the selected application when that application is currently running. The New Copy check box is disabled if the application is not already running.

  5. Check the Run As Server Application check box if you are running a non-GUI application (defined as application type Non-GUI or Web-Enabled Non-GUI in the Define Application dialog) in multiuser mode and you want to run the application on the server node instead of your client node. For example, you can initiate a non-GUI application to run on the server node so that it continues running after you have shut down your client node.

    This check box is enabled only when the selected application is of type Non-GUI or Web-Enabled Non-GUI and you are running JADE in multiuser mode. When you check this check box, the Activate Debugger and New Copy check boxes are disabled.

  6. Check the Set As Default check box if you want to set an application in your schema as the current default application. (This check box enables you to set the default application without having to access the Application Browser to change the current application.)

    This check box is enabled only when the selected application is not the current application.

  7. Check the Check For Uncompiled Methods check box if you want to be warned before the application is invoked about any methods in the application that are uncompiled or are being edited. This check box is unchecked by default; that is, methods are not checked before the application runs.

  8. Check the Show Inherited check box if you want to run a superschema application from a subschema.

    The Application Name combo box is then populated with the applications from the current schema and its superschemas.

  9. Click the OK button to run the selected application. (Alternatively, click the Cancel button to abandon your selections.)

    Your selected application is then initiated and the following actions are performed.

    When you have started your JADE application, the start-up form for that application is then displayed (for example, a log-in screen or a menu).
