Help....!
After many years of working with the Progress AppBuilder, I am just starting off with OpenEdge 10.1a Architect.
I have gone through the progress online tutorial, but have questions regarding the use of "Projects" in the Architect.

We have a multiple applications which have different database connections and different propaths, however there is a sizeable folder with shared code that is used by the different applications.

Organisation of Projects
My initial thoughts would be to set the shared code as a project in itself, which the apps (other projects) could reference...

Would this make sense....?
How have folks been using the 'Projects' within the architect to set up Multiple Progress Applications?

Many thanks,
Ron

That was my take on the situation also. However, you may want to review the concept of shared code and think about it instead in terms of the concept of shared services. In the later scenario, the shared sevices tend to instantiated as super procedures accessible to all applications, as opposed to include or .p's run by many programs.

It is quite easy to see that a shared service deserves its own project.
 
Further thinking.....

Would this Project Organisation make sense....:confused:

Project 1 ~ Resources shared across Multiple Applications.
:confused:
Project 2 ~ App A ~ Server Side
Project 3 ~ App A ~ Client Side
Project 4 ~ App A ~ Include Files referenced in Server/Client Side

(The folder from Project 1 and Project 4 would be included in the propath for Project 2 and Project 3.)

Projects 2 through 4 would be repeated for each Application.

Given the use of Projects, It would be better if the Project would be referenced rather than the Folder...

Any thoughts...?
