Chapter 3-13: Automatic and Optional Children

Child Toolbox Option

The toolbox overlay appears on the screen when you invoke the toolbox option from the child process screen. The overlay contains a number of features such as Documentation Management and Security Management that will assist you with designing and invoking a child process. The options listed in the Toolbox overlay are described briefly below. See Chapter 3-3, Process Definition for a more detailed explanation of the options listed on the Toolbox overlay.

Database Management

The database management option allows you to add new files or maintain existing ones without leaving process design for automatic and optional processes.

Process Management

The process management option allows you to add other types of processes or maintain existing ones without leaving process design for automatic and optional processes.

GO Add

This feature allows you to add any type of process without leaving child process design. Note that this option, like any option with a value of 90 or greater, is available for use from any screen in Application Design without having to go to the Toolbox.

GO Delete

This feature allows you to delete any type of process without leaving child process design. Note that this option, like any option with a value of 90 or greater, is available for use from any screen in Application Design without having to go to the Toolbox.

GO Inquire

This feature allows you to search for any type of process without leaving child process design. Note that this option, like any option with a value of 90 or greater, is available for use from any screen in Application Design without having to go to the Toolbox.

GO Change

Syntax Check

This feature allows you to create the Executable Module for the current automatic or optional process without actually running it. If the Executable Module for the process is valid this option is ignored when invoked. Note that this option, like any option with a value of 90 or greater, is available for use from any screen in Application Design without having to go to the Toolbox.

View Audit Info

This feature allows you to see who created the currently selected automatic or optional process and who changed the process most recently. It also gives the date of creation and the date it was last changed. Note that this option, like any option with a value of 90 or greater, is available for use from any screen in Application Design without having to go to the Toolbox.

Invoke a Process

This feature is available to facilitate testing. It allows you to invoke any process; the currently selected automatic or optional process using the Test Database defined in system administration is the default.
