Run a saved Processing Sequence shortcut file

Run a saved Processing Sequence "shortcut" file

You can run a saved processing sequence "shortcut" file on any computer where the LANSA Composer client is installed.  You don't have to start the LANSA Composer client application in order to run a saved processing sequence "shortcut".

You can run a saved processing sequence "shortcut" file in two general ways:

1.Because a saved processing sequence "shortcut" file is just a file in the Windows files system (just like a Microsoft Word document file, for example), you can open (run) it in any of the ways that Windows supports.

For example you can click it or double-click it in Windows Explorer, or right-click and choose Open from the pop-up menu.  If you have saved the file (or a Windows shortcut to it) to your desktop or your Start menu, you can open it from there.  Or you can even open it from a command window.

The LANSA Composer client application window does not have to be open in order to Open (run) a Processing Sequence "shortcut" file from Windows.

 

2.If the LANSA Composer client application is open and your "shortcut" file is saved in the default location suggested by LANSA Composer, you can run it as follows:

a.  Expand Operations in the Navigator and click Run processing sequence shortcuts.

b.  Double-click the desired "shortcut", or select it and click Run.

 

Whichever way you choose to run a saved processing sequence "shortcut" file, the request will usually proceed as follows:

• LANSA Composer displays the Connect to LANSA Composer Server window

• Once connected successfully, LANSA Composer displays the Run processing sequence window, populated with the processing sequence details, run options and non-default parameter values specified in the shortcut.

• If the Submit to batch radio button is checked, the Processing Sequence run is submitted to batch using the job description specified in System Settings.

• If you selected the Run immediately button, the Processing Sequence runs immediately and you must wait for it to complete. When the run is complete, the Processing Sequence Log window shows the result code and log output for the Processing Sequence run.

 

Note:  the sequence described above may be varied according to options specified in the Processing Sequence "shortcut" file.
