Defining a Reference

In App Explorer, right-click the References heading or the name of an existing reference, and select Add Application Reference. The Add Application Reference dialog box opens.

Select Local Cache or Repository to indicate whether the process app you want to reference is stored in your computer's file system or checked in to the repository from SBM Composer.

Select the process app that contains the application that you want to reference, and then click Add.

Note: To define a reference, the referenced process app must have been checked in. For example, if you want to create a new process app and create a reference to the Global Process App, you must open the Global Process App in SBM Composer and then check it back in before you can see it in the repository and reference it. You must also have the "View" privilege (set in Application Repository) for the process app you want to reference if the process app is in the repository, not in the Local Cache.

CAUTION:

If you add a reference to an application in the open process app, the application becomes inaccessible.

Create references to the referenced application. For example:

For a Post transition, on the Post Options tab of the transition Property Editor, select the referenced application in the Post application list. If there are multiple tables in the referenced application, select the table you want to reference in the Post table list.
For a Multi-Relational or Single Relational field, on the Options tab of the field Property Editor, select the referenced application in the Application list. If there are multiple tables in the referenced application, select the table you want to reference in the Table list.
