Application Options

Global settings that can be applied to the complete application, these are specified under the application options.

One attribute of the application options is Version. At run time, the version of the local AWM model is compared with the version entry in the Master Configuration file. See Master Configuration for more information.

The attributes Start Reference and End Reference are used for parsing variable references. See Variable References for more information. By default these have the values "&" and ".".

In addition, the tool execution can be controlled from the application options. The maximum return code that the tool can return without its execution being interpreted as "failed" is specified in the attribute MaxRC. Failed tools end with an error message, and prevent the execution of further tools in the tool sequence of the action.

The Root Containers Action attribute can be used to refer to an action which contains a "Create Element List" step returning the root elements used to build up the first hierarchical view of the application which are visible in the Tree view.

Attribute Type Description
Cache Elements Boolean Specifies whether AWM elements, elements lists, and column configurations for element lists are cached during application unloading. An application is unloaded when another application is loaded or when the Eclipse workbench is closed.

The default value is true.

Default Generic Symbol String The standard wildcard character typically used to match all elements. Generic input fields are automatically filled in with this symbol.  

The default value is *.

End Reference [D] String Symbol or character string that should be interpreted as meaning the end of a reference, see above.  

The default value is .

Generic Symbols [O] String Specifies the wildcard characters for a generic search. The characters given here are used to validate generic input fields in dialogs.

The characters can be added via a dialog box opened when you click ....

The characters entered here might depend on the integrated application system. To search files in ISPF, these characters are "*" and "%".

For example: *,% 

Independent Affected Resource Contexts Boolean Specifies if the affected resource contexts are to be independent from the main context. See Tool-defined Resource Operations for more information.

The default values are:

  • true
  • false - for AWM models prior to Enterprise Developer 3.0
Legacy Element List Creation Boolean Until Enterprise Developer version 7.0, an element list was implicitly created when the action descriptor contained a reference to an element list structure and at least one tool in the action's tool sequence returned a structured file descriptor. This behavior is deprecated from Enterprise Developer version 8.0. From Enterprise Developer version 8.0, an element list must be created by an explicit Create Element List step specified under an action.

Set this attribute to true if you want to use the previous method to create element lists in your model.

Default value is false.

Last Edit Client Version String Specifies the version of the AWM client which was used to edit the model in the AWM model editor.
Max RC * Integer Specifies the maximum permitted return code of a tool that is called from the model interpreter.

The tool execution is interpreted as being faulty if this value is exceeded.

Model ID String ID of the model; for internal use only.
Root Containers Action [O] Action Descriptor The referenced action is executed when the application entry in the tree view is expanded by the user in order to retrieve container elements of the first hierarchy level.
Start Reference [D] String Symbol or character string that is interpreted as the start of a reference.  

The default value is &.

Version * String (for example, 1.2.1) Version of the AWM model.
Relationship Cardinality Description
Has_Application_Action 0..* Relationship to an action which is assigned to the application.
Has_Application_Property 0..* Relationship to a property with application-wide scope.
Has_Specific_Attribute 0..4 Relationship to a specific attribute.

Examples


Application Options Enterprise Developer Project
Attribute Value Description
AWM Model
Cache Elements true Elements, element lists, and column configurations are cached in the workspace
Last Edit Client Version 5.0.0.v201811301639 The last edit of the model was with the AWM version 5.0.0.v201811301639.
Model ID OFFL_Model For internal use only; this must not be modified.
Version Number 3.0.0 Version number of this instance of the model. By changing the version number you can trigger the local copy of the SCLM application to be replaced by the new instance from the location specified in the master configuration file.
Container View:
Root Containers Action OFFL_ACT_ELIST_GetEclipseChildren Reference to the action which returns the Micro Focus Eclipse projects in the workspace.
Generic Symbols
Default Generic Symbol * The asterisk is used as the default generic symbol in the model.
Generic Symbols *,% The asterisk and % are interpreted as generic symbols in the model.
Referencing:
End Reference . A period is used to terminate a property reference in the model.
Start Reference & An ampersand "&" is used to start a property reference in the model.
Tool execution:
Independent Affected Resource Context false The context of an affected resource depends of the main context.
Max RC 4 If any tool of the model returns with an RC higher than 4, the tool execution is interpreted as failed and the whole action is terminated with an error message. Subsequent tools in the action are not executed.
