| The following sections explain how you can set up a component release for use while modeling activities and support applications. A component release is, for example, ERP BaanIVc. You would model this component release as component ERP and component release IVc. All ERP sessions are inserted in this component as applications. To define a component release Start the Components (tgbrg5157m000) session. Click the New button. Define the detailed information of the component release. Refer to the field help for more information. Click Save and then Close. To define the running ERP component release If you have modeled a component release, you can make this the running ERP component release. This means that from that moment on all modeling operations by default will work with this running ERP component release. For example, if you model a business process activity that starts an application, the information of the running ERP component release is already entered. On the Specific menu, select the DEM Parameters command. You are asked for a password. Specify the running Baan component and running ERP component release. Click Save and then Close. To define the applications of a component On the Specific menu, select the Applications by Component command. Click the New button to manually create an Application. Or, select the Import Applications from the Running ERP Component command on the Specific menu to automatically import a range of ERP sessions. Note You can start the main applications through the Run Application command. Only main applications can be linked to an activity of type application in a business process. Click Save and then Close. To define the subapplications of an application Through subapplications, you can define the applications that can be started through a main application that is the highest level in the application tree. The subapplications in an ERP session are, for example, the sessions you can start through the Specific and Print menu. For each of the subapplications, you can define the authorization. Select a main application for which you want to define the subapplications. The first level in the tree of applications must be a main application because only main applications can be started independently. On the Specific menu, click the Subapplications by application command. Select the subapplication to link to the application in the hierarchy above.
