7.5 Frameworks
Frameworks are a business-oriented grouping of items. For example all the components used to create the LANSA Personnel Demo application are in the Human Resources framework. Frameworks are used to establish a link between related components.
Some generic frameworks such as Manufacturing and Executive Information are automatically defined in a partition and contain components typically needed in these kinds of applications.
You can create your own frameworks.
When you create a component you can specify the framework in which you want to store it. You can also change the framework in the editor using the Framework property of the component.
You can view a list of objects in the repository using a framework name.
Frameworks do no have any programming or development impact. Frameworks are simply a method of associating objects to assist developers in managing their development environment.
There is no structural relationship between groups and frameworks, i.e. a group is not contained in a framework or owned by a framework.
