COMPOSER Command Parameters
REQUEST
This parameter specifies the LANSA Composer function to be performed. The functions that may be requested are:
- ABOUT: Echos messages containing certain LANSA Composer version and environment information back to the command processor. This information includes LANSA listener, HTTP listener and JSM port numbers.
- RUN: Specifies that a LANSA Composer Processing Sequence, Activity or Transformation Map is to be run. The PSEQ parameter must be specified if REQUEST(RUN) is specified. The PSEQ parameter specifies the identifier of the Processing Sequence, Activity or Transformation Map that is to be run.
- REORG: Specifies that the LANSA Composer database housekeeping task is to be run. The database housekeeping task will use the parameter specifications last used or last saved through the LANSA Composer client. Refer to Database Housekeeping for more information.
- LICENSE or LICENCE: Specifies that a server license for LANSA Composer is to be applied.
Refer to Apply the Server License for LANSA Composer for more details.
- TUTORD: Starts the LANSA Composer tutorial orders application.
PSEQ
For REQUEST(RUN), this parameter must specify the identifier of the Processing Sequence, Activity or Transformation Map that is to be run. You can specify the identifier in one of two ways:
- When running a Processing Sequence, you can specify the external identifier (ID or name) of the Processing Sequence.
- Otherwise you can specify the internal identifier of the Processing Sequence, Activity or Transformation Map. The internal identifier is a unique internal key that is allocated for each item by LANSA Composer when it is created. Its value can be displayed on the tab in the LANSA Composer client application.
PARMS
For REQUEST(RUN), the PARMS parameter may be used to specify parameter values for the Processing Sequence, Activity or Transformation Map that is to be run. Up to 100 parameter values may be specified.
Parameter values are always provided by parameter name, so you only need to supply values for required parameters or where you wish to use a value different from the default parameter value. You can specify the parameter name and value pairs in any order.
For each parameter for which you wish to provide a value, you must provide:
- - the name of the parameter as defined in the Processing Sequence, Activity of Transformation Map definition.
- - the value for the parameter.
PARTITION
This parameter specifies the identifier of the LANSA partition containing the LANSA Composer server installation to be used. If not specified, the COMPOSER command will attempt to determine the partition identifier according to information recorded during the last LANSA Composer installation into this system.
LANGUAGE
This parameter specifies the national language to be used. If not specified, the language defaults to the partition default language.
