2 1 2 Activity Details

ID

An identifier to uniquely identify this Activity.

This should describe the Activity.

Active or Inactive. Activities cannot be used in a processing sequence while they are in inactive status – the processing sequence will end in error if it attempts to use an activity that has inactive status.

Specifies the name of the re-useable part that implements this Activity. For a supplied Activity, this specifies a re-useable part that is shipped with LANSA Composer.
If you define your own custom Activities, you must supply your own Activity Processor that implements the custom processing and you must name it here.

Yes or No. You cannot change this value.
Yes indicates Activities that are supplied with LANSA Composer.
No indicates Activities that you define yourself.

Yes or No.  Use this value to optimize the performance for Activities that have a significant cost of initialization.

Yes indicates the Activity Processor will normally be loaded and unloaded once for each Processing Sequence run.
No indicates the Activity Processor will be loaded and unloaded each time it is used in a Processing Sequence.

If you define your own Activity Processor, it must be implemented such that it supports this setting, if used.  Refer to Develop a Custom Activity Processor for more information.

Yes or No. This value determines whether a Processing Sequence run that fails while executing this activity can be restarted (if it is otherwise eligible).

Yes indicates the activity can be restarted.
No indicates that this activity cannot be restarted.  A Processing Sequence that fails on this Activity will not be eligible to be restarted.

If you define your own Activity Processor, it must be implemented such that it supports this setting, if used.  Refer to Develop a Custom Activity Processor for more information.

Yes or No. This value signifies whether this Activity is an Iterator Activity - a special form of Activity that can be used to perform iterative processing in a Processing Sequence.  Refer to 2.3 Configurations for more information about this type of Activity.

Yes indicates that this is an Iterator Activity.
No indicates that this is not an Iterator Activity.

If you define your own Activity Processor, it must be implemented such that it supports this setting, if used.  Refer to Develop a Custom Activity Processor for more information.

If the activity processor is not valid or supported across all server platforms supported by LANSA Composer, you can check and uncheck the boxes to indicate which servers this activity does support.
