Designer-Invoked Processes
The runtime application contains several predefined processes. In general, these processes can be placed into two categories; processes that a designer can invoke, and processes that only APPX can invoke. Most of the predefined processes are only invoked by APPX.
Following is a list of the predefined processes that a designer can invoke (each of which is described in detail later in this chapter):
APPX MENU, which allows a user to select a new database and provides access to system administration, and application design.
BEGIN LIVE OPERATIONS, which transfers the run phase from initial setup or recovery processing to live operations.
CHECK GUI CLIENT, which determines if the current engine is connected to a GUI-enabled client.
DISPOSITION which allows a user to provide information that controls how and where a report is to print.
ENTER BILLING CODE, which allows a user to enter a value into the predefined field BILLING CODE.
GET CMD LINE PARM, which checks for the existence of a parameter on the command line used to invoke the current engine.
GET ENV VAR, which retrieves the contents of an environment variable.
GET FILE FROM CLIENT, which retrieves a file from the client system and stores it on the server.
PROCESS QUERY RECORD, which potentially adds a PCF record to the result set of a query.
SELECT DATABASE, which allows a user to select the appropriate database.
SEND FILE TO CLIENT, which retrieves a file from the server and stores it on the client system.
