Abstract

A bridge for exporting and importing Envy components to and from a TeamConnection object oriented programming environment includes an Envy side and a TeamConnection side. The Envy side of the bridge creates and transfers an Envy library file that contains the contents of a selected Envy component and a Bill of Materials that describes the contents of the Envy Library file. The TeamConnection side of the bridge searches the transferred Bill of Materials for keywords associated with objects. The TeamConnection side of the bridge then creates a TeamConnection part for each object identified by a respective keyword. To import an Envy component stored within a TeamConnection object oriented programming environment, the TeamConnection side of the bridge creates and transfers an Envy library file containing the contents of the Envy component and a Bill of Materials describing the contents of the Envy library file. The Envy side of the bridge searches the Bill of Materials for keywords. Each identified object is then transferred into the Envy Manager of the Envy object oriented programming environment.
