Limitations and restrictions

• Transactions

  Transactions in a Menu extension are not supported.

• UI

A Menu extension has no access to the UI. You cannot start sessions or reports, or display messages.

• Top menu

  The top menu which is displayed in LN UI can be extended. However, if you add a session directly to this top menu, a sub menu is automatically added. The Xi-style does not allow individual sessions in the top menu.

• Testing menu extensions

  Menu extensions can be tested after the Activity Context is set. If a menu is opened already, you must restart LN UI, set the Activity Context and open the menu. For the top menu, you must commit the extension before you see the changes.

  After KB 1884185 is installed, you can refresh the menu (including the top menu) from the Extension Modeler.
