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 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 |
|---|---|---|
| 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 usually 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 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.
The default values are:
|
| Last Edit Client Version | String | 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 should be interpreted as meaning 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
| 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; must not be modified. |
| Version Number | 3.0.0 | Version number of this instance of the model. 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. |
| 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 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. |
