| # Conversion of Applications (tgbrg5150m000) Use this session to define the conversion of applications between a source component and a destination component. The purpose of setting up a source and destination component is to be able to automatically convert the used source applications to its related destination application. The conversion takes place in: Application type activities support application. If in one of the above components a source application is linked this source application (included in the source component release) can be converted to a destination application (included in the destination component release). 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. Complete replacement 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. In this session you can indicate that the functionality of a source application and destination application is the same by selecting the Complete Replacement check box. Multiple replacement For each source application multiple destination applications exist. The source application is replaced by the destination application with the lowest sequence number. Single replacement For each source application, exactly one destination application exists. The source application is replaced by the destination application. Note that there can be functionality differences between the source destination and destination application. However, this is not true when the Complete Replacement check box is selected; this check box indicates that the applications contain the same functionality. No replacement No destination application is defined for the source application as a result no conversion takes place. Use the Conversion of Applications (tgbrg5150m000) session to actually perform a conversion based on the information defined in this session. Related topics Components Component The source component. Component Release The source component release. Component The destination component. Component Release The destination component release. Source Application The application identification in the source component and component release. Sequence Number If for one source application multiple destination applications exist you can specify this by a sequence number. The source application is replaced by the destination application with the lowest sequence number. Example Source application: session A
Sequence Number | Destination application
1 | Session A1
2 | Session A2
3 | Session A3
Destination Application The application identification in the destination component and component release. Authorization Here you can define a new authorization for where the destination application is used. This can either be an acitivity or support application. Related topics authorizations by activity and business process Complete Replacement If this check box is selected, 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. Text If this check box is selected, an explanatory text is present. Creating user The name of the user who created the current conversion. Date of Creation The date that the user created the current conversion. Modifying user The name of the user who modified the current conversion. Date of Modification The date that the user modified the current conversion. Approving user The name of the user who approved the current conversion. Date of Approval The date that the user approved the current conversion. Approved conversion If this check box is selected, the conversion is approved and can take place. src.acc.desc The name or description of the source application. dest.acc.desc The name or description of the destination application. Description The name or description of the source component. Description The name or description of the destination component. |
