================================================================================
At this time, Health Systems Design & Development (HSD&D) is not supporting
RPC Broker-based client/server software development using Delphi 2005. Thus,
these standalone instructions were created for those programmers who
are developing RPC Broker-based applications using Borland Delphi 2005.
NOTE: In the following instructions, the developer used "90" to identify Delphi
2005. He started with RPC Broker files for Delphi 7
(i.e., D70 and R70).

05/04/06: Delphi 2005 Instructions for RPC Broker BDK
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following describes the procedures to be used for Delphi 2005.
For RPC Broker--It is recommended that you refer to RPC Broker Patch XWB*1.1*40.
This patch is a client-side only patch for the Broker
Development Kit (BDK). The patch refers to the installation of
xwb1_1p40pg.exe on the developer's client workstation. This
patch is only required for those sites doing Delphi development
of RPC Broker-based applications.
NOTE: If you install the xwb1_1p40pg.exe program on a workstation with Delphi
V. 2005 already installed, the RPC Broker executable will not find a
Delphi version that it recognizes, but it will still install all of the
RPC Broker-related files under the C:\Program Files\vista\BDK32 directory
(default), or other user-specified directory indicated during the
installation process. After the installation, follow the instructions as
indicated below.
1. Open the BDK32\Source directory.
2. Identify all the package (.dpk) files that had D70 or R70 in their names.
The following list is sorted by extension. If .dsk files exist, ignore
them.
XWB_D70.dcr
SharedRPCBroker_D70.dpk
SharedRPCBroker_R70.dpk
XWB_D70.dpk
XWB_R70.dpk
VERGENCECONTEXTORLib_TLB_D70.pas
3. Copy these files to the same directory so that they are now "Copy Of ..."
4. Edit the "copy of ..." filenames to delete the "Copy of " and change
70 to 90, as shown below:
XWB_D90.dcr
SharedRPCBroker_D90.dpk
SharedRPCBroker_R90.dpk
XWB_D90.dpk
XWB_R90.dpk
VERGENCECONTEXTORLib_TLB_D90.pas
SharedRPCBroker_D90.res
SharedRPCBroker_R90.res
XWB_D90.res
XWB_R90.res
5. For consistency, Open each file and change the 70 portion of the filename
inside to 90, and any other instances of 70 to 90 as well.
6. Open Delphi 2005 and select File | Open then navigate to the location of
the Source directory...
7. Select XWB_R90.dpk It will indicate that you must upgrade the project
before you can open it.
8. Click on the 'Delphi for Win32' button, then the OK button.
9. Select the "File | Compile Project" menu. It will compile the package.
There may be some warnings and hints shown, but the package should be
compiled. Unlike the earlier Delphi versions, the default location for
storage of compiled packages is not in the
"Project Files\Delphi6\Projects\Bpl" directory, but under the
"My Documents\Borland Studio Projects\Bpl" directory.
10. Select File | Close All and then File | Open and select XWB_D90.dpk.
11. Click on the "Delphi for Win32" button and then OK.
12. Select the "File | Compile Project" menu. It will compile the package.
13. Select the "Component | Install Packages" menu item. Navigate to where
the .bpl files that were compiled are located (again, the default is the
"My Documents\Borland Studio Projects\Bpl" directory).
14. Select the XWB_D90.bpl and click Open. The Kernel components are now
installed.
15. Select Tools | Environment and select Libraries and add the location of
the Source directory to the items in directories to be searched.
16. Make a copy of the Samples directory (e.g., "Samples D2005").
17. Click on File | Open and migrate to this directory and select
RPCBroker | BrokerEx directories.
18. Select the BrokerExample.dpr file. Once this is loaded and the form is
being viewed, the Kernel components are visible as the last group under
the Tool Palette.
19. Compile and run the BrokerExample application.
