LANSA Composer

Configurations tab

The Configurations tab provides access to lists of the transport and/or database Configurations available for you to reference in your Processing Sequence. Refer to Configurations for more information about Configurations.

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

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

Click a Configuration to display its notes in the Assistant tab.

You can drag Configurations to places that specify a configuration name – for example, to Activity parameters that specify a configuration name. The FTP_INBOUND shipped Activity, for example, receives a configuration name in its FTPCONFIG parameter.

You can also drag Configurations directly over the Processing Sequence editor window. When you release the mouse, a default Activity (according to the Configuration type) will be inserted at the highlighted location.  For example, if you drag and drop an FTP inbound configuration, LANSA Composer will insert the FTP_INBOUND activity and set the FTPCONFIG parameter value to the name of the FTP Configuration.
