Configuration Components pane
The Configuration Components pane displays processes, subprocesses, variables, resource
files and printer queues. It also lets you add any of these components using the right-click
menu.
Components Area Sections
l Processes:Displays a list of processes in your configuration (see: "About Processes and
Subprocesses" on page79). Right-click on a process to access a drop-down menu that
offers these choices:
l Insert Process:Inserts a new process with a default input and output task.
l Insert Startup Process:Inserts a new process as a Startup Process. This option is
only available if there is no existing startup process in your configuration.
l Insert Local Variable:Inserts a new local variable.
l Cut, Copy, Paste:Controls the clipboard.
l Delete: Deletes the process from the configuration.
l Rename: Renames the process.
l Active: Triggers whether the process is active (runs in service mode)or inactive
(does not run in service mode). Inactive processes never trigger their input task or
any other tasks.
l Startup: Triggers whether the process is a startup process (runs before any other
process). This option is only available if there is no existing startup process in your
configuration.
l Group, Ungroup: Triggers grouping functionality.
l Properties...: Displays the process' properties, for scheduling and error handling.
l Subprocesses: Displays a list of subprocesses in your configuration (see: "About
Processes and Subprocesses" on page79). Right-click on a subprocess to access a
drop-down menu that offers these choices:
l Insert Subprocess:Inserts a new process with a default input and output task.
l Insert Local Variable: Inserts a new local variable.
l Cut, Copy, Paste:Controls the clipboard.
l Delete: Deletes the subprocess from the configuration.
