To create MMT Sessions

Important!

The sections below describe the sessions that you must use to create MMT sessions. However, they do not describe all details of these sessions. For detailed session information, refer to the Infor Web Help.

This diagram shows the procedure steps and the corresponding sessions or programs:

The flow: Create a multi-main table session

To create a main entity detail session

If you want the multi-main table controller session to use a details session, you must determine if the details session already exists, or if you need to create it.

When you create the details session, you must enter a label code in the Label of Object field in the session properties. This allows the label to show on the multi-main table controller session for opening the details session.

Example- details session

The Purchase Order Headers (cxoes0122m000) session already exists, and you can use it as the details session. You enter a label code in the Label of Object field.

Field	Input Value
Label of Object	oes022 (Purchase Order Headers)

To create a multi-main table controller session

To create the multi-main table controller session:

Start the Sessions (ttadv2500m000) session and specify the properties for the controller session. Points of attention:
- Session Type: Maintain
- Window Type: Multi Main Table
- Main Session: Yes
- Synchronized Dialog: the code of the main entity detail session, e.g. cxoes0122m000
Edit the form and insert the fields you wish to have in the session.

Example- multi-main table controller session

The Purchase Orders multi-main table controller session is created with the following properties:

Field	Input Value
Package	cx
Module	oes
Session	0122s100
Description	Purchase Orders
Standard Script	No
Program Script	cxoes0122s100
Main Table	cxoes022
Start Command Type	No Start Command
Start Command	0
Session Status	Developing
Dynamic Session	Yes
Integrated	Yes
Session Type	Maintain
Window Type	Multi Main Table
Main Session	Yes
Synchronized Dialog	cxoes0122m000

To create a satellite session

You can use an existing satellite session, or create a new one. The key field that links the satellite entity to the main entity must be a view field in the form. You must specify a label of object for the satellite session.

Example- satellite session

The Purchase Order Lines (cxoes0123m000) session is an existing satellite session. You enter a label code in the Label of Object field in the session's properties.

Field	Input Value
Label of Object	oes023 (Purchase Order Lines)

To assign satellites to the controller

You must link the satellite sessions to the multi-main table controller session.

To do so:

Start the Sessions (ttadv2500m000) session.
Select the multi-main table controller session.
On the appropriate menu, click MMT Satellite Sessions. The Satellite Sessions (ttadv3110m000) session starts.
Click New.
Enter the next index number.
Enter the satellite session code.
Either enter the field mapping information, or click Generate Field Mapping.

Example- assign satellite sessions

You link the Purchase Order Lines (cxoes0123m000) session as a satellite session to the Purchase Orders (cxoes0122s100) multi-main table controller session. You enter the following field mapping:

Field name in MMT session	Field name in satellite
cxoes022.orno	cxoes023.orno

To compile and run the controller session

You must compile the multi-main table controller session after you assign a satellite session.

To compile the session:

Start the Sessions (ttadv2500m000) session.
Select the session.
Click Compile.

You can now run the multi-main table controller session.

To integrate the controller session

The multi-main table controller session is the equivalent of a details session for the main entity. Therefore, you should integrate the session, either as a synchronized dialog of the main overview session for the table, or as a child session of an overview display session.

To integrate the controller session, using the session as a synchronized dialog:

Start the Sessions (ttadv2500m000) session.
Select the main overview session for the table. Modify the properties of this session: Fill the Synchronized Dialog field with the multi-main table controller session code.
Save the session.

Example- Multi-main table controller session integrated with overview session

You modify the Purchase Orders (cxoes0122m000) overview session so that it uses the multi-main table controller session (cxoes0122s100) as a synchronized dialog. When you open a purchase order in the overview session, the multi-main table controller session opens with the purchase order that you selected.
