Cross References
A new Cross references command tab provides comprehensive cross reference information for most definition types in LANSA Composer, including:
- Activities
- Transformation Maps
- Processing sequences
- All types of transport and database Configurations
Using the cross reference information provided by LANSA Composer, you can quickly identify:
- Other definitions that the subject definition uses or refers to. For example, for a Processing Sequence, this would include Activities, Transformation Maps and configurations that are used in the Processing Sequence.
- Other definitions that use or refer to the subject definition. For example, for an FTP configuration, this would include Trading Partners and Processing Sequences that use the FTP configuration.
The cross reference information includes the much-requested references to configurations, providing the references are to a specific, fixed configuration. (References to configurations and other definitions using variables or built-in variables are resolved at run-time and cannot be cross-referenced.)
This new support provides a new level of impact analysis capability while maintaining your business process integration (BPI) solutions. In addition, it facilitates deployment of those solutions, for example, from a design environment to production.
(The tab applies to most definition types and it replaces the tab that was previously available for Activities and Transformation maps only.)
