An
asynchLink element of a linkage options
part specifies how a generated Java™ or CICS® program starts a particular
program asynchronously, as occurs when the originating program starts
the
vgLib.startTransaction system function.
To edit the
asynchLink element of a linkage
options part:
- Locate the EGL build file you want to work with in the Project
Explorer view. To find it, open the EGL Source folder and look for
a file with the extension .EGLBLD.
- Right-click the build file and then click . The Build Parts Editor opens the build descriptor
part automatically; the default view is the General Options view.
- If you have the Outline view open, you will see the build descriptor
part listed under the name of your build file. If you do not have
the Outline view open, click ; in the Show View window, click to expand General and
select Outline.
- In the Outline view, right-click a linkage options part and click Open.
The EGL Build Parts Editor displays the current part declaration.
- Click the Show AsynchLink Elements button
on the editor toolbar.
- To add a new asynchLink element, click Add or
press the Insert key, and then type the record name or select a record
name from the Record Name drop-down list.
- To change the default linkage type associated with your record
name, perform one of the following steps:
- Select the corresponding row in the AsynchLink Elements list,
and then click the Type field once to put the
field into edit mode. Select the new linkage type from the Type drop-down
list.
- In the Properties of selected asynchLink elements list,
click the property once to put the Value field
associated with that property into edit mode. Select the new linkage
type from the Value drop-down list.
- Other properties associated with your record name are listed in
the Properties of selected asynchLink elements list
based on the linkage type. To change the value of one of these properties:
- Select the record name.
- In the Properties of selected asynchLink elements list,
click the property you want to set once to put the Value field
associated with that property into edit mode.
- Set the new value by selecting an option in the Value drop-down
list or by entering the new value in the Value field.
For some properties, you can only select an option in a drop-down
list. For other properties, you can only type a value in the Value field.
- Modify the asynchLink elements list
as needed:
- To reposition an asynchLink element,
select an element and click either Move Up or Move
Down.
- To remove an asynchLink element, select
an element and click Remove or press the Delete
key.
