Page 66 of 89
4.3.3.2 PC Client Termination Messages (SR4338)
The splash message displayed by the PC Client when the TROPOS manager brings it down will no
longer time-out and disappear, if not acknowledged, to allow the PC Client to exit. Instead they will
remain on view until acknowledged, allowing the user to be sure of seeing the message and
therefore knowing why the PC Client is exiting. The PC Client will actually be disconnected from
the TROPOS instance before this message is displayed, so that leaving it on view does not delay the
disconnection. Because the PC Client is unusable once it has been disconnected, any windows that
it has, apart from that of the splash message, will be disabled, although visible, while the message
remains on view. As soon as the message is acknowledged the PC Client will exit.
4.3.4 TROPOS TIGI: Interfacing and Integration (TIGI)
4.3.4.1 TIGI - Business Process Automation (SR4193_02)
The TIGI suite of transactions has been enhanced to allow easy definition of ‘TIGI’ routines for use
by TROPOS Active Business Process Automation.
This involves the provision of a new transaction (TBPA) to define the Interface name, and actual
transaction / field defaults may then be defined by the TIMA transaction group.
The actual transaction is then executed by the TIAP transaction.
This processing is dependant on the PAKCONT-BPA package flag being set.
4.3.4.2 TIGI - Support for Application Designer (SR4345)
The TIGI group of transactions has been enhanced to support use with the TROPOS Application
Designer.
Two new FIELDTYPE values have been added:
• B – will space fill the screen field
• P – will allow PUTVAR information to be processed. If a TIGI variable (e.g. “S01”) is
entered into the FORMAT field then this value will be stored and may be used within a
subsequent transaction. P may only be entered against PUTVAR datanames which are
identified by a leading character of ‘@’ – e.g. @PARTSOURCE.
TIMC scrolling. When all input fields have been displayed, then the relevant PUTVAR fields will
be displayed. If an ‘N’ is entered in the ‘More Data’ field, then the display will continue from the
dataname entered in the first dataname field.
TIAP. The buffer will be reformatted to supply the re-displayed (current) values into each field. In
addition the contents of all TIGI variables will be displayed at the end of the supplied data –
separated by a double change bar (||).
4.3.4.3 TIGI (TROPOS Incoming Generic Interface) Enhancements (SR3923)
TIGI has been enhanced to provide the following new features:
• Space fill the Saved Key area prior to starting TIGI – This will prevent erroneous saved key
information being inherited from previous irrelevant transactions. This has actually been
added to the ith2online initialisation call.
