Application Options

Global settings that apply to the complete application can be defined 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 returns the root elements used to build up the first hierarchical view of the application which are visible in the Tree View. The referenced action descriptor must return an element list whose match name property typically references a container element type. See Table Structure for more information.

Attribute	Type	Description
Default_Generic_Symbol	String	The standard wildcard character usually used to match all elements. Generic input fields are automatically filled in with this symbol. Standard value: *
End_Reference [D]	String	Symbol or character string that should be interpreted as meaning the end of a reference, see above. Standard value: .
Generic_Symbols [O]	String	Specifies the allowed wildcard characters for a generic search. The characters given here are used to validate generic input fields in dialogs. The permitted characters can be added via a dialog box opened when you click .... The characters entered here may depend on the integrated application system. To search files in ISPF, these characters are "" and "%". Example: ,%
Independent Affected Resource Contexts	Boolean	Specifies if the affected resource contexts should be independent from the main context. See Tool-defined Resource Operations for more information. Default values: true false for AWM models before ED/VC 3.0
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 selected 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 should be interpreted as meaning the start of a reference. Standard value: &
Version *	String (for example, 1.2.1)	Version of the AWM model

Relationship	Cardinality	Description
Has_Specific_Attribute	0..4	Relationship to a specific attribute.

Examples

The application options of the SCLM model have a reference to the application specific attribute SYSLIB. This is used in the Micro Focus COBOL and PL/I editor to find and download COBOL copybooks or PL/I includes in a z/OS remote edit scenario. In this model the value of the application specific property SYSLIB is a reference to a AWM model property. This allows allocating the SYSLIB concatenation dynamically. The SYSLIB concatenation is returned by an ISPF tool which is called in a remote edit action just before the edit tool is called.

Attribute	Value	Description
Container View:
Root Containers Action	SCLM_ACT_CreateRootentries	Reference to the SCLM action which returns the SCLM projects.
Generic Symbols
Default Generic Symbol	*	Asterisk is used as default generic symbol in the SCLM application.
Generic Symbols	*,%	Asterisk and % are interpreted as generic symbols in the SCLM application.
Referencing:
End Reference	.	Dot is used to terminate a property reference in the SCLM application.
Start Reference	&	& is used to start a property reference in the SCLM application.
TAURUS Model:
Model ID	TAURUS_Model	For internal use only; should not be changed.
Version	2.3.1	Version number of this instance of the SCLM application. By changing the version number the AWM model administrator 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.
Tool execution:
Max RC	4	If any tool of the SCLM application 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.
