To modify the logical entities associated with a logical server, select the Logical entities option in the context-sensitive menu (or the equivalent button) in the Logical servers tab of the Object manager.

 

Lists

Entities assigned

List of all the logical entities assigned to the logical server.

Assigned entities fall into the following three categories:

Checked in bold

The entity is assigned by default to the current logical server. There can be only one default logical server for a logical entity.

Checked and dimmed

The entity is assigned to other logical servers, including one by default (but not this one).

Not checked

The entity is not assigned to any default logical servers, and has only been assigned to this server.

A located above the list can be used to limit the number of entities displayed.

Extended-selection list.

 

Available entities

List of all the available logical entities in the current application area which can be assigned to the logical server.

A located above the list can be used to limit the number of available entities displayed.

Extended-selection list.

 

Buttons

Assign

This button transfers all the selected logical entities from the list of available entities to the list of assigned entities.

It is not active when no logical entity is selected in the list of available entities.

 

De-assign

This button transfers all the selected entities from the list of assigned entities to the list of available entities.

It is not active when no logical entity is selected in the list of assigned entities.

 

Hold

This button opens a dialog box enabling the entities selected in the list of assigned entities to be held by the default correction.

This button is only visible in correction environments.

It is only active when one or more entities are selected in the list of assigned entities and the user has a default correction.

 

Default

This button is used to select which of the logical entities assigned to the server will be used by default. The selected logical entity will appear checked in bold in the assigned entities list.

If the selected entity is already the default entity, it will lose this attribute, and will appear unchecked in the list.

The default logical entity is used when generating the data flow and Level 2 code for "VADELIA" programs. The lines of source code for this entity will be automatically assigned to this logical server during the generation procedure.

This button is not active when no entity is selected from the assigned entities list.

Enter/Modify

The Enter button (in display mode) closes the dialog box.

The Modify button (in modification mode) validates the modifications made and closes the dialog box.

Any logical entities transferred from one list to the other will be effectively assigned or de-assigned in the database.

 

Cancel

This button closes the dialog box without validating the modifications made.

Keyboard shortcut: Esc.
