Add Items to the Processing Sequence
Add Items to the Processing Sequence

You add items to the Processing Sequence by dragging them from the Palette, Activities, Processing Sequences, Transformations or Configurations tabs. Alternatively, you can double click items on those tabs to add them to the Processing Sequence or select an option from the Insert menu.

...

For more information on adding items to the Processing Sequence, refer to:

Note
Note: When you add items to the Processing Sequence in this way, LANSA Composer will attempt to guess the most appropriate level for the item and assign its parent accordingly. The result is that the item will be indented to that level. In many cases, LANSA Composer's guess will be correct and you will not need to re-arrange the item. If it is not correct, however, you should use the features described in Re-arrange Items in the Processing Sequence to arrange the item in the correct order and at the correct level.

Anchor
Delete Items from the Processing Sequence
Delete Items from the Processing Sequence
Delete Items from the Processing Sequence

To delete an item from the Processing Sequence:

...

Note
Note: When you delete an item, any remaining child items of that item are promoted to the level and position of the deleted item.

Anchor
Cut, Copy and Paste Items in the Processing Sequence
Cut, Copy and Paste Items in the Processing Sequence
Cut, Copy and Paste Items in the Processing Sequence

You can cut, copy and paste items in the Processing Sequence using the Cut, Copy and Paste buttons on the toolbar or by selecting the corresponding commands from the Edit menu.

...

Note
Note: When you cut an item, any remaining child items of that item are promoted to the level and position of the cut item.

Find Items in the Processing Sequence
Find Items in the Processing Sequence
Find Items in the Processing Sequence

To find items in the Processing Sequence:

...

Note that LANSA Composer searches the content of the current editor tab – that is, the Details, Parameters or Notes tabs.  If you wish to search in a different tab, click the required tab and repeat the search.

Anchor
Re-arrange Items in the Processing Sequence
Re-arrange Items in the Processing Sequence
Re-arrange Items in the Processing Sequence

You can re-arrange items by moving them up or down the Processing Sequence or by promoting or demoting them:

Anchor
Move Items Up or Down
Move Items Up or Down
Move Items Up or Down

Moving items up or down in the Processing Sequence changes the order of items in the Processing Sequence and, therefore, the order in which they will be executed when the Processing Sequence is run.

...

Note
Note: As you move items up or down the Processing Sequence, it will often be necessary for LANSA Composer to change the item's parent. This will result in the indentation level of the item changing as it moves.

Anchor
Promote or Demote Items
Promote or Demote Items
Promote or Demote Items

Promoting or demoting items changes their parent item – that is, the item to which they belong and upon which their execution is dependent. The visible effect of this is to change their indentation level.

...

Note
Note: Sometimes, as you promote or demote items, they will move up or down as well. This can occur, for example, when you promote or demote an item that is in the middle of a group of items at the same level. LANSA Composer will need to move the item in order to preserve the levels or relationships of other items in the group.

Anchor
Enable or Disable Items
Enable or Disable Items
Enable or Disable Items

Enabling or disabling items leaves the definition of the item in the Processing Sequence but prevents it from being executed if the Processing Sequence is run.  This is sometimes useful for temporary changes or during design and testing of a Processing Sequence.

...

  1. Select the item to be enabled or disabled.
  2. Select Enable from the Edit menu.

Note
Note: Disabling an item also disables any child items of that item.
