Components definitions

The next step is the definition of components you want to use throughout the modeling process.

A component is a collection of applications, or just one application, and their related data that is needed to interact with other applications.

A component is a shell that accommodates the applications that can be linked to activities in business processes to define the work and sequence of work that must be carried out.

The definition of the applications is important in the component procedure, because the definition of the applications determines the operations that must be completed.

Componenti (tgbrg5157m000)

To create and maintain components, use the Componenti (tgbrg5157m000) session.

If you define one of the LN releases as a component, and therefore all the LN sessions of that release as applications, you must select the correct release in the Tipo di componente field.

To define a component:

  • Click New
  • In the Componente field, specify the name of the component.
  • In the Rilascio componente field, specify the release, which is the identification of the issue of a component.
  • In the Icona componente (16x16) field, select an icon that represents the component in the Process View, Enterprise Modeler Editor, and Process Browser. In the Process View, and the EME, the icon will be placed next to the activity of type application so you can distinguish the component to which the application belongs.
  • In the Tipo di componente field, select the identification for the component for application conversion purposes.
    • Select the correct LN release in the case of an LN component.
    • In case of a non- LN component, select Altro

This table shows information about the options you can use when creating or modifying a component:

FieldDescription
Componente ERP in esecuzioneIf this check box is selected, the component is the LN component that provides the LN sessions at run time. For more information, see the Parametri DEM (tgbrg0135s000) session.

 

On the Supporto per tab of the Componenti (tgbrg5157m000) session, you can select Autorizzazioni, such as display and print.

This is only applicable for the Running LN component, because it is meant for specifying the limitations to the authorization types during modeling later on.
