Missing REMObjects menu

Remoting SDK
,
1

I don’t see the menu item RemObjects | on my RAD Studio 10 user interface.
I can compile MegaDemo Sample Code First and it runs fine.
I do have the client set as the current project
I am using SDK 9.0.94.1199 beta
Windows 10

Any ideas?

this menu was moved into Tools :

Where can I find the .RODL file after I build both the server and the client?

for RODL-based servers, .RODL file is put into project folder, i.e. near server .dpr
for Code-First servers, .RODL file is generated in run-time on-fly

I was running RODL servers so I understand that process. What I am having trouble understanding is how I start a code first server when I am working on a client.
I open up First(code first) dproj and build all.
I make FirstSampleClient the default
Then:

Then what?
Just a little bit more help I think.

Then …

  1. create a new XML file with the file-extension “.remoteRODL” in your client project and add the required xml nodes (see attached example below) and save the file
  2. launch the Server executable
  3. right-click your “.remoteRODL” in the project explorer and click on “Update Interface files”
    This will create / update the client interface file for your service (“MyService_intf.pas”).
  4. if you want, you can there also create a server-accessfile

That’s the way it should work.
I tried this with the current ROSDK beta, Delphi XE5, a .Net Service and a Delphi client.
In this constellation the RODL couldn’t be importet (DTD Error).

remoteRODL.zip (316 Bytes)

PS: OK, my bad! The remoteRODL for Delphi requires that the ServerUri ends with “/rodl”. This isn’t necessary in Visual Studio.

So your .remoteRODL file should look like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<RemoteRodl>
  <Server>
    <Name>Generic Remoting SDK Server</Name>
    <ServerUri>http://localhost:8099/rodl</ServerUri>
  </Server>
</RemoteRodl>

You should be able to just go “Connect to Remote Server”, rathe than creating this file yourself. That should never be necessary… Is that not working for you?

Oh! There’s a new assistant … Famous :wink:

Should I find this option also in Visual Studio (with the current beta)?
Can’t search it at this time. I’ve no RemObjects Menu in VS (OK, because I’m currently working with “self buid” ROSDK assembiles. They having no UI …)

Yes, should be in Delphi, VS and Fire. See Connect to Server

switch to server project and Run without debugging (Shift+Ctrl+F9) then switch to client again
