Making objects ready to send to Server

Purpose

Making objects ready to send to Server

Purpose

In certain organizations, different users are responsible for defining objects and for sending those objects to Server. Axway Composer includes an optional status, ReadyToSend, that serves as the dividing line between design and runtime. The purpose of this optional status is to lock the object definition and indicate that it is ready for execution. A user authorized to send the object to Server can then verify that the object definition is correct before transferring it to the run-time environment.

An object with ReadyToSend status is non-modifiable.

You can perform the following actions on objects with this status:

Making the object ready to send

To make an object ready to send to Server:

  1. Check the object definition. Composer sets the object status to Checked and displays next to the object and all objects that it uses.
  2. Select the object from the left pane and select Other Actions / Ready to send from the File menu.  

The object status changes to ReadyToSend and Ready to send icon (lock)is displayed next to the object name. You cannot modify or delete objects with this status.

Sending objects back to design

To send an object back to design for modification:

  1. Select the object from the left pane.
  2. Select Other Actions / Back to design from the File menu.

The object status changes to Checked and is displayed next to the object name. You can now modify the object.
