| # Components (tgbrg5157m000) Use the Components (tgbrg5157m000) session, to create and maintain components. If you define one of the Infor releases as a component and, therefore, all the Infor LN or Baan sessions of that release as applications, you must select the correct release in the Component Type field. The information in this field is used in the Application Conversion procedure to provide the Fill Conversion of Applications (tgbrg5250m000) session with data to carry out a conversion according to coding standards. The conversion procedure enables you to reuse applications from older Infor LN releases in your current component release. To create a component Click New. Specify the name of the component in the Component field. Specify the release, which is the identification of the issue of a component, in the Component Release field. Click an icon in the Component Icon field that represents the component in the Enterprise Modeler Editor (EME), and Worktop. In EME, the icon will be placed next to the activity of type Application so that you can distinguish the component to which the application belongs. For application conversion purposes, select an identification for the component in the Component Type field: Select the correct LN release in case of an Infor LN component. Select Other in case of a non- Infor LN component. Select whether the component is installed on the server or on a client in the Client/Server field. Select the interface that the component requires, Com or Command line, in the Interface field. If a command line interface exists in the Executable field, specify the executable. See the following example for more details. Specify the program ID in the ProgID field that COM requires to identify the component. You can find the program identification in the COM interface specification of the component release. If you use more than one Infor LN component in your business processes, you must define an executable file for every component except the running baan component. Components: Executable Infor LN 6.1 Running ERP component Infor Baan 5.2 C:\Program Files\Baan\Bw4\bin\bwReger.exe. Infor BaanIVc C:\Program Files\Baan\Bw4\bin\bw4.exe. This table provides additional information about the options that you can use if you create or modify a component: Key fields for Components (tgbrg5157m000).
Field | Description
Running ERP Component | If you select this check box, the component is the ERP component that provides the Infor LN or Baan sessions at run time. For more information, see the DEM parameters (tgbrg0135s000) session.
