Jiwa

I am working on a plugin where it would need to do the following things listed below but I am not sure if automating it through code from the standpoint of all I want a user to have to do is import the plugin, enable the plugin and restart Jiwa is possible, are these steps possible through code how could you do this?

• Create a database table
• Register a form
• Possibly register a business logic object
• Possibly register a Jiwa collection object
• Add menu items to the menu

It's all possible, but there are some things to consider.

Create a database table

I don't think the normal SQL users have schema permissions required to do this - so you may have to prompt for credentials of a SQL user which has permissions to create a table and then create a connection with those credentials and then grant permissions to the appropriate SQL users that Jiwa users use.

Register a form

The manager has a property, Forms - which is a list maintenance of type JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaApplication.Forms.Form - add to that then call the Forms.Save() method.

Possibly register a business logic object

As above, but the property is BusinessLogicCollection which is a list maintenance of type JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaApplication.BusinessLogic.BusinessLogic.

Add menu items to the menu

Read a menu and modify it with the JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaApplication.Menu.Menu business logic. It's a normal maintenance business logic type and so you can read a menu with a given RecID or Find by name or Description. Once read, manipulate the menu items in the MenuItems property and then call Save().
