Applications

The Applications tab lists all applications that are defined in the system.

When you select an application and click Add, Edit, or Copy, the following edit window appears.

In the header, you can enter the application name, description, and application kind. The application name should be uppercase, exactly as it is used in AMT Developer Studio.

For an AMT application, set application kind to Lion and set the migrated mainframe OS. You can also find this value under Application Origin in Application options for the application in AMT Developer Studio.

Changes to any application setting will take effect after the application servers and managers have been restarted.

Field descriptions:

• Command: This is the command that is used to open a custom help file (e.g. a Word document or HTML file) or a Windows application when users press F1 in AMT Screens. If you do not specify a parameter in the field below, the help file opens with the default application configured on the local Windows system for that file type. By default, %SCREEN% is replaced by the current screen. You can update the value for %SCREEN% in Lion source code by assigning a value to SI-HELPSCREENWEB, for example SI-HELPSCREENWEB := 'LOGON_Second_Help'.
• Parameters: If you provide a parameter, that parameter is populated with the file specified in the Open command for help.
