Applications by Component (tgbrg5155m000)

When you have created the components you want to use during the modeling of business processes, you must fill these components with applications.

In the case of an LN component, this means the applications will be LN or ERP Baan IV sessions.

To fill a component with LN sessions, use the Import Applications from Running ERP Component (tgbrg5255m000) session.

You can select a range of applications from the Sessions (ttadv2506s000) session and import them into the component.

In case of a component other than LN, the applications must be defined manually, or imported by the XML Import Component Model Data (tgbrg5254m000) session.

To manually link an application to a component, complete the following steps:

  • Click New
  • In the Application field, specify the application
    • If the component is the running Baan component, use the Baan session code.
    • If the component uses the command line interface, use the id of the executable application.
    • If the component uses the com interface, use the id of the application as it is known by the com interface.

In the Argument field, specify an argument that is passed on to the application at run time, such as Word or Excel.

  • To reference the arguments specified for an activity
    • use $n

    • N stands for the sub-sequential argument of an activity.

    • $1 is the first argument of the activity; $2 is the second, and so on.
