Code modules-- needed on every box?

Post by Mr. Bigglesworth »

We've got some code modules on our development box, and we use them to compile our scripts. We'd like to move these scripts and their .vtx files to the live server without having to worry about keeping the code modules on there in sync with the development box.

When we copy the scripts over, we get some errors reading like:

"Module XYZ not found in c:\morph3\texis\testdb\SYSLIB"

And that's true enough-- but do we *need* to have those modules loaded on the live server?

Yes; modules need to be present (checked in) to every machine they are used on. The only exception to this would be if you move only the .vtx file over to the other boxes, with _no_ source file. If the Vortex version is the same on the other boxes, they will run the .vtx files. But if the Vortex version changes, or the source file or any module is updated, then the script(s) will be recompiled and the missing modules will be an error.

That was the problem-- different vortex versions. Thanks again!
