Creating a configuration file using WinConfig

The buttons in the dialog window execute the following actions:

OK

The entered parameter values are confirmed.

Delete The corresponding foreign session is deleted, i.e. the line between the two icons in the application edit window disappears.

Cancel The entered parameter values are discarded again.

6.7.2.3WinConfig menu bar

The menu bar contains the File, System, Hosts, TA-Apps,Non-TA-Apps,Links and Moves menus. The functionality of the menus can be roughly divided into four function areas:

File

General WinConfig operations

e. g. terminating an application, loading/saving a configuration file, starting the GINA configuration generator config.

System, Hosts, TA-Apps, Non-TA-Apps, Foreign-Apps

Modification of customizing settings for the various hierarchies (system-host-applica- tion).

The customizing information specified for the system is passed on to the hosts as default values. In addition, all applications on a host inherit that host’s customizing infor- mation. Inherited customizing information can be overwritten using the customizing menus. WinConfig only shows the modified customizing information for the relevant hosts or applications. The consistency of the customizing information is not completely checked in Version 2.0 of WinConfig.

All customizing statements mentioned in this section are described in more detail in section 6.2 on page 46.

Links

Multiple generation or multiple deletion of sessions, connections and foreign sessions as well as the hiding and showing of specific sessions, connections and foreign ses- sions.

Moves

Functionality for changing the graphical layout of the configuration currently being dis- played.
