ABLdoc for database tables

PCT has a schema documentation task

github.com/.../PCTSchemaDoc

In the example they mentioned SchemaDoc.xsl.

Where can we get this file for formatting ?

<PCTSchemaDoc file="doc/db.xml">

 <PCTConnection dbName="MyDB" dbDir="base"/>

</PCTSchemaDoc>

<xslt in="doc/db.xml" style='doc/SchemaDoc.xsl' out='doc/output.txt'>

 <param name="outputdir" expression="doc/MyDB"/>

 <param name="dbname" expression="MyDB" />

</xslt>

You can take a look at HtmlDict for this. It is on the OE Hive, but if I have time I'll see if I can port it to GitHub. It generates static html pages for your database schema. 

Personally, I use the DataDigger for database references, but depending on what you want to do with it, HtmlDict might be a better choice. Please forgive me the somewhat old fashioned look of the pages, but remember that it is already ten years old :)

Download the zip, extract it in its own folder, add that folder to the propath and run HtmlDict.w

Thanks for sharing this solution. It is exactly what I was looking for.

Don't worry about the look, I have seen much worse. ;)

There's a link to schemaDoc.xsl in the first paragraph.

Gr8!

Also where can we find the XSL file for ABLUnitTesting result.xml ?

This is meant to be displayed directly in Jenkins, so no XSL here

How can we see then the ABLUnitTesing results.xml without Jenkins in a  good HTML format ?

The format of the file that is produced is a standard format from JUnit tests - there *are* XSLT files out there to convert the XML into HTML formats, although they are a little hard to find.

I do have one in my possession, however, I found it several years ago and can't remember where I found it, so don't wish to post it in case of license infringement.

As I said, they do exist, you've just got to put some time into finding them.

a quick Google returned:

stackoverflow.com/.../converting-xml-junit-report-to-html

perhaps this might help - it references github.com/.../junit2html too

Maybe not exactly what is commonly understood as documentation, still maybe some visuals would help as well...

Thank you for your answer Marian,

I have looked in Progress Developer Studio for an ERD diagram, but haven't been able to find it.

How did you create this ERD?

The reason you couldn’t find one is because it doesn’t exist, very few seems to even want such a thing and given the fact PSC is a listed company they might not put in resources for something no one needs :(

IAP is offering PCase to design and document your ERD diagram. You can download a free Test Version here:

well, Marian, I would suggest that you ditch development - as you seem to be able to raise money out of thin air ...$1600 from 0 backers ...  :)

Same here, Peter.

I guess we would all like to know Marian's secret.

By all means, hate to disappoint you guys but haven’t found the way to make money out of thin air yet :(
