Activities tab

Activities tab

The Activities tab provides access to lists of the Activities defined in LANSA Composer. Refer to Activities for more information about defining Activities.

You can type a search term in the Search box at the top of the Activities tab to search for Activities that contain the search term in their name or description.

Alternatively, you can expand the tree nodes on the Activities tab to list Activities by group, or by alphabetical grouping of the Activity name.

Note: Activity groups are user-defined. LANSA Composer is supplied with pre-defined Activity groups and the supplied Activities are assigned to these Activity groups. You may define your own Activity groups in addition to or in place of those supplied with LANSA Composer. Refer to Code maintenance for information on defining activity groups.

Click an Activity to display its notes in the Assistant tab.

To add an Activity to your Processing Sequence, click the required Activity and drag it over to the Processing Sequence editor window. When you release the mouse, the Activity item will be inserted at the highlighted location. You may then need to complete details for the Activity item in the Detailer window – in particular, you will need to specify variables or values for the Activity parameters, if any. Refer to 3.1.1 Activities and Transformation Maps for more information.

You can also add an Activity to the Processing Sequence by double clicking it. The new Activity item will be inserted at the current selection.
