| # Application conversion You can set up source and destination LN components to automatically convert the used source applications to their related destination applications, in activities of type application and of type support applications. When source applications are converted to destination applications, the destination applications determine how the source applications are replaced. There are four different types of replacement.
Application Conversion
Type of replacement | Description
--- | ---
完全替换 | The functionality of the destination application includes the functionality of the source application. Complete replacement can only be applied in case of multiple replacement or single replacement.
多项替换 | For each source application, multiple destination applications exist. The source application is replaced by the destination application with the lowest sequence number.
单项替换 | For each source application, one destination application exists. The source application is replaced by the destination application. However, differences in functionality between the source and destination application might exist, except when the 完全替换 check box is selected. This shows that the applications contain the same functionality.
不替换 | No destination application is defined for the source application; therefore, no conversion takes place.
应用程序的转换 (tgbrg5150m000) To set up conversion schemes between a source LN component and a destination LN component, use the 应用程序的转换 (tgbrg5150m000) session. To automatically fill the table of applications for an LN component, use the 填入应用程序的转换 (tgbrg5250m000) session. To convert an application, complete the following steps: Click New group In the 来源 fields, select a combination of a 源组件版次 and 源组件. In the 目标 fields, select a combination of a 目标组件 and a 目标组件版次. Click New In the 源组件 field, select an application. In the 序号 field, specify a number. The number you enter in this field is used in case of multiple replacement. The source application is replaced by the destination application with the lowest sequence number. In the 目标应用程序 field, select the destination application. In the 核准用户 field, select a level of authorization. The authorization you select here is the new authorization for the destination application. The new authorization applies to activities of type application, or support applications linked to the destination application as a result of the conversion.

完全替换的进程 | If you select this check box, the functionality of the destination application includes the functionality of the source application. Complete replacement can only be carried out in case of multiple replacement, or single replacement.
已核准的转换 | 如果选中此复选框，, the conversion is authorized and can be carried out.
文本 | To enter a text, click the 文本 button. The 文本 check box will be selected. If the conversion is not a complete replacement, the text can be used to describe the differences between the source and destination application.
填入应用程序的转换 (tgbrg5250m000) To automatically fill the application conversion table between twoLN components, use the 填入应用程序的转换 (tgbrg5250m000) session. To start this session, on the 视图, 参考, 操作 menu of the 应用程序的转换 (tgbrg5150m000) session, click 填入应用程序的转换. Before the session will continue, you must enter a password. You can also fill only one part of the application conversion table. For example, you can automatically fill the application table for the source component, and manually enter the corresponding applications for the destination component. To fill a component with multiple applications, complete the following steps: In the 源组件 and 源组件版次 field, select a combination of a source component and a component release. In the 源应用程序 field, select the range of applications from the source component you want to convert to the destination component. In the 目标 group box, select the combination of a destination component and a component release to which the applications are converted. Click 填入

同时将源应用程序写入目标应用程序 | If you do not select this check box, a conversion table is created that contains all the source applications; however, the destination applications have to be entered manually.
使用中间转换 | If you select this check box, all conversions between two LN component types are done automatically; see the following example.
根据编码标准转换应用程序 | If this check box is selected, the source applications are converted to destination applications according to the manufacturer's coding standards.
示例 The following shows what happens if you select the 使用中间转换 check box: Component A conversion Component B Component B conversion Component C To run a conversion between component A and C, select the 使用中间转换 check box. To fill the new conversion, both existing conversion tables will be compared. 转换已使用的应用程序 (tgbrg5251m000) To convert the applications used within business processes and support applications from one component to another, use the 转换已使用的应用程序 (tgbrg5251m000) session. To convert applications from one component release to another, you must keep track of the application changes between the different component releases. Maintain the application changes in the 应用程序的转换 (tgbrg5150m000) session. If you do not process the changes, certain business processes and support applications will not be useable, because no destination applications are specified in the component release to which you want to convert. To convert applications in a business model, complete the following steps: In the 来源 group box, select a combination of a source component, a component release, and accompanying applications. In order to be converted, this combination must be used in the range of business processes and support applications you specify on the 选择范围 tab. In the 目标 group box, select a combination of a destination component, a component release, and the accompanying applications. This combination will replace the combination of component, component release, and applications currently linked to the business processes and support applications. In the 版本 field, select the version for the business process and support applications. In the 业务流程 and 支持应用程序 field, select a range of business processes and support applications whose applications you want to replace with the applications of the destination component. Click 转换 注意 The conversion takes place only if a conversion is defined for the source application and the destination application.

执行试运行 | 如果选中此复选框，, the conversion is printed in a report, but not actually carried out in the selected ranges of business processes and support applications.
打印报告 | 如果选中此复选框，, a report is printed that shows all conversions that took place. This check box is automatically selected if you select the 执行试运行 check box.
仅转换完全替换的应用程序 | 如果选中此复选框，, the source applications for which a complete replacement exists are converted. This is the case for an application for which Complete Replacement check box is selected in the 应用程序的转换 (tgbrg5150m000) session. Complete replacement means the destination application covers the functionality of the source application.
只转换已核准转换方式的应用程序 | 如果选中此复选框，, the conversion only takes place if the Approved Conversion check box is selected in the 应用程序的转换 (tgbrg5150m000) session.
保留原始业务流程活动说明 | 如果选中此复选框，, the activities within the business processes that replace their linked applications keep their original description.
将组件活动说明从目标链接到业务流程活动 | 如果选中此复选框，, the activities within the business processes that replace their applications, receive the description of the newly linked applications.
重命名活动和支持应用程序中的组件和版次代码 (tgbrg5220m000) To change, for a range of versions, the reference in activities of type application, sub-applications and support applications from one component and component release to another, use the重命名活动和支持应用程序中的组件和版次代码 (tgbrg5220m000) session. The default new component and component release is set to the running LN component and the running LN component release. A check is carried out to check whether the applications that are present in the source component and component release also exist in the destination component and component release. If they do not exist, a report is displayed. To convert the component and component release codes, complete the following steps: In the 自 and 至 fields, select a range of versions whose applications, sub-applications, and support applications must receive the reference to a new combination of a component and a component release. In the 组件 and 组件版次 field, select the combination of a component and a component release used in the selected range of versions that must be replaced. In the 更改为 group box, select a combination of a component and a component release to replace the old component and component release in the selected range of versions. Click 转换 |
