Nortel Networks VT100 manual Complete sample transaction, Initial-action template

Getting started 3-13

A complete sample transaction

This section summarizes how the sample accounting application would start up, retrieve a customer’s balance and reset for the next transaction. The sample transaction uses these templates in the following way:

•The initial-action template logs on to the host computer and starts up the “acct” application.

•The action template chooses the “Accounts Receivable” option from the application’s menu and retrieves a customer’s balance.

•The reset-action template returns to the application’s menu screen and waits for the next transaction.

•The logout-action template is included in case an error occurs at any time during the transaction.

Initial-action template

Once the TRS process is invoked, the initial-action template acctinit.act brings the session assigned to the accounting application to the menu screen. Figure 3-9 shows the initial-action template, its supporting screen templates and the corresponding screens on the host computer.
