Configurations encapsulate the variable information required for supplied transport Activities and for database connections used with Transformation Maps. Typically, Configurations include information such as:
Using LANSA Composer you can create, maintain, and delete any number of Configurations according to your application's needs.
By including the implementation-specific information in Configurations, LANSA Composer allows a single Activity and often a single Processing Sequence to be used with different inputs and outputs to serve different source and target - for example, for use with multiple trading partners.
In addition, the special type of Database Configuration is provided to include database details for databases used with Transformation Maps.
Work with Configurations
To work with Configurations, expand Configurations in the Navigator and click the Configuration type that you wish to work with. To find out how to locate and select Configurations to work with, refer to:
Locating and selecting items in the Instance Lists
For information on common tasks associated with Configurations (such as creating, copying, deleting and printing definitions) refer to:
For information on tasks associated specifically with Configurations, refer to:
Display the Run History of a Configuration
For information specific to particular configuration types, refer to:
Some configurations will have a Test button. When clicked, it will run an activity that is used to check the validity of the configuration parameters. The parameters tested will differ depending on the type of configuration. At the end of the test, a processing sequence log will be shown to indicate whether connection has been successful and the error that has occurred.
Display the Run History of a Configuration
To display available Run History for a configuration, select the required configuration and then click the Run History tab. A list of processing sequence runs that used the selected configuration will be displayed. You can double-click an item in the list to view the Processing Sequence Log.
Select an item and click the View button to display the Processing Sequence log or the Print button to print the Processing Sequence log for the run.
If a prior Processing Sequence run has ended in error, you may be able to use the Restart button to restart it from the point of failure. Refer to Restart a Processing Sequence Run for more information.
Note: Processing Sequence run history can be purged using the Database Housekeeping function. The run history for Processing Sequence runs that have been purged are no longer available.
