Creating a session

Use the Session Properties window of the Create a New Infor LN Software Component wizard to initialize and create a new session in your local workspace. This window is the wizard's second dialog box.

Note: To implement the new session in an LN application, synchronize with the server and compile the session.

Creating a session

Start the wizard and select the component type.
1. Start the wizard.
2. Specify the software development activity for which you want to create the new session. Select Session as the desired component type.
3. To go to the Session Properties window, click Next.

Specify the required session properties.

In the Session Properties window, specify these properties:

Name
Description

The Name and Description have text values. The session name must start with the code of the package and the module in which the session is used. After the session is created, you cannot change its name.

The wizard stores the session description in a label. If you want to change the session description, edit this label in the Label Editor.

To specify one of the other properties is optional. If you do not specify a value, the properties are unset or get a default value (as displayed in the window). This table shows the used default values:


Property	Default value	Remarks
Name	-	Mandatory and read-only after the session has been created
Description	-	Mandatory
Standard Script	No	Mandatory
Script Type	UI Script with Database Handling	Mandatory if Standard Script is No
UI Script	-	Read-only field. Equal to the session's Name and Description
Session Type	Display	Mandatory
Window Type	Dialog	Mandatory
Main Session	True	Optional
Main Table	-	Optional

For more information on the session properties, see Session Editor.

Create the session.
To create the session in your local workspace and to exit the wizard, click Finish. The created session appears in the Activity Explorer view of the Application perspective.

You can now edit the new session in the Session Editor.
