TeamAppManager Method Calls

The following code presents the user with options to call one of the three methods for adding an application to the Team Productivity Update Team Workspace. The function uses a SWITCH statement to call each of the three TeamAppManager functions, based on user input. Selecting case "r" for the RegisterAppFactory method calls to a function, GetArguments(), which prompts the user for command-line parameters used by the RegisterAppFactory method.
