Application Express — Advanced Configuration

Field

Description

Application Rule Name

The application rule Name key part. By default, this is the name you entered in Application  field on Step 1 (spaces are removed). Changing the rule name value does not update the Application field.

If you return to Step 1 and update the Application field, the rule name is updated in this field.

Application Version

The application selected in Step 1. Changing this value will change the case type and data object settings in Steps 3 and 4, respectively.

Select:

• Framework only to create only a framework application and class layer.
• Implementation only to create only an implementation application and class layer.
• Framework and Implementation to create both applications and class layers.
  

Visible if you select Framework and Implementation or Framework only. Specify the application framework application Name key part. By default, the system uses the Application Rule Name and appends FW to it; for example, if the application name is AutoLoan, the framework name is AutoLoanFW.

This setting does not alter the framework class name tha appears in the Class Structure - Framework area.

Field

Description

Organization Name

The name provides the Organization Name key part for the application's organization, division, and organization unit rules. The value entered in the Organization Name field on Step 1 is the default.

The system also uses this value for naming classes in the organization reuse layer.

Example

If you enter the organization name MyCo, the default organization layer classes are

• MyCo — The top-level class that applies to all operators in the organization. This class provides a parent class (in pattern inheritance) for other classes in your company or your applications.
• MyCo-FW - Used as the base class by the framework class layer.
• MyCo-Int
• MyCo-Data

Use auto-complete to select an existing organization if you want to reuse the organization's class structure, rules, and data records in your implementation and framework applications.

Enter a name if you want to create a new organization and organization layer.

If you are creating an organization, you can modify the default organization Class Name key part in the Class Structure - Implementation area on this dialog.

Division

The Division key part of a division rule. If you added a new organization in Step 1, the system enters Div by default.

If you selected an existing organization, use auto-complete to select a division in that organization or enter a new division name.

If you select Create a reusable division layer, the system by default concatenates the organization and division name to create the division-layer class names. For example, if MyCo is the organization class and you enter Sales, the system generates classes named MyCo-Sales- . The system appends the the division name to the organization name to create a RuleSet named MyCoSales.

Select to extend the division class layer to create a division class layer. Appears if you select Create a reusable division layer. Available only if you enter a value in the Unit field.

The Unit Name key part of an organization unit rule. If you added a new organization in Step 1, the system enters Unit by default.

If you selected an existing organization, use auto-complete to select a unit in that organization or enter a new unit name.

If you select Create a reusable unit layer, the system by deafult concatenates the unit name with the organization name and division name to create the unit-level class names. For example, if MyCo is the organization class, and Sales is the division class, and you enter Northeast, the system generates classes named MyCo-Sales-Northeast- .

The system appends the unit name to the organization name to generate a RuleSet named MyCoNortheast.

Available only if this is a new organization. Select to automatically create the standard operator IDs for that organization. The operator IDs are Administrator@orgname, Manager@orgname, and User@orgname.

When generating the application, the system creates the operator IDs with the standard access groups to access the new implementation and framework applications.

Enter a password if you do not want to use the default value rules.
