Applications by Component (tgbrg5155m000)

After you create the components that you want to use during the modeling of business processes, you must use this session to fill these components with applications. For an LN component, these applications will be Infor LN or Baan IV sessions. To fill a component with Infor 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 these applications into the component.

For components other than Infor LN, you must manually define the applications, or import the applications with the XML Import Component Model Data (tgbrg5254m000) session.

To manually link an application to a component:

  1. Click New

  2. Specify the application in the Application field.

    • If the component is the running ERP component, use the Infor LN 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 known by the COM interface.
  3. Specify an argument in the Argument field that is passed on to the application at run time. To reference the arguments specified for an activity, you can use $n. N stands for the sub-sequential argument of an activity. In other words, $1 is the first argument of the activity; $2 is the second, and so on.

This table provides additional information about the options that you can use when you create or modify an application.
