Update Frame Toolbox Option
The toolbox overlay appears on the screen when you invoke the Toolbox option from the update Frames overlay. This toolbox overlay contains a number of features such as Documentation Management and Security Management that will assist you with designing and invoking an update process. The options listed in the Toolbox overlay are described briefly below. See Process Definition for a more detailed explanation of the options listed on the Toolbox overlay.
Database Management Option
The Database Management option allows you to add new files or maintain existing ones without leaving update process design.
Process Management Option
The Process Management option allows you to add other types of processes or maintain existing ones without leaving update process design.
Design Transfer Option
The Design Transfer option allows you to copy the attributes from a process that you have already designed and apply it to a new process.
Syntax Check Option
This feature allows you to create the Executable Module for the current update process without actually running it. If the Executable Module for the update process is valid this option is ignored when invoked. Note that this option (Option 97), like any option with a value of 90 or greater, is available for use from any screen in Application Design without having to go to the Toolbox.
View Audit Info Option
This feature allows you to see who created the currently selected update process and who changed it most recently. It also gives the date of creation and the date it was last changed. Note that this option (Option 98), like any option with a value of 90 or greater, is available for use from any screen in Application Design without having to go to the Toolbox.
Invoke a Process Option
This feature is available to facilitate testing. It allows you to invoke any process; the currently selected update process using the Test Database defined in system administration is the default. Note that this option (Option 99), like any option with a value of 90 or greater, is available for use from any screen in Application Design without having to go to the Toolbox. |
