Storage Tree View Options

This \topic discusses the visualization options for the main Integration Framework Tree View. Advanced viewing options can be selected for any object listed in the tree view from a pop-up menu.

Accessing Advanced Viewing Options

To access the advanced visualization options for an object:

  1. Right-click on the object you want to open a pop-up menu.

  2. Select the option you want from the menu.

    Menu options are described in the following "Viewing Options" table.

Viewing Options

OptionDescription
\<element-related commands>Depending on the selected element, different menu items are displayed.
Enable all Server DatabaseEnables the view of all Integration Framework datasets defined in the IF Server.This option enables you to see everything that is configured, though users may receive an error when attempting to access, if they have no read rights in the object security descriptor.
Force refresh to all Server DatasetsForces a refresh of the tree when reading the data from the IF Server.
SecurityOpens the Security Configuration window for the selected object.
Show OptionsSince there are several different settings associated with Show Options, the details are listed in the following "Show Options Items" table.

Show Options - Items

ItemDescription
Show AssembliesShows/hides the custom-assemblies (non-.NET assemblies) loaded by the Integration Framework. All the defined classes are displayed as children objects in a separate root of the main tree (ASSEMBLY).
Show CacheShows/hides the cache for each Dataset. Cache objects are displayed under each Dataset by adding a new level in the tree under the DATASET level (for further details please review “Storage Tree View section”). Each Dataset may have more than one cache object associated depending the type of the Dataset and the associated input parameters.All the cache-objects are listed under Dataset > CACHE > \<list of the Integration Framework cache objects>. The cache-object list is automatically updated by Integration Framework, according to the cache management defined for the Dataset (input parameters and expiration-time); the cache objects are named taking into consideration all the parameters.
Show ClassesShows/hides the classes defined for each SOA-type object (Invoker and Listener). All the defined classes are displayed in a separate root of the main tree (CLASSES) and user can select and edit/delete all the defined classes.
Show ParsersShows/hides the parser-objects defined for the FILE Connectors. Parsers are objects created for defining rules for parsing the content of the files loaded by the associated FILE Connector. All the defined parsers are displayed as child objects in a separate root of the main tree (PARSERS), and they are listed by belonging FILE Connector instance (under the sub-node PARSERS).
Show TriggersShows/hides the trigger-objects defined for the Integration Rules (VIRTUAL). Triggers are objects that initiate the integration rules. The activation rule (periodic, event and conditions) are defined inside the trigger itself. All the configured triggers are displayed as child objects in a separate root of the main tree (TRIGGER), and are listed by belonging Integration Rule (under the sub-node TRIGGER). There can be multiple triggers for a single Integration Rule.
Show User FunctionsUser functions are the scripts used inside the Integration Rules (objects under VIRTUAL). Basically, user functions are IF proprietary .NET assemblies that let you perform a custom user action. All the configured user functions are displayed as child objects in a separate root of the main tree (USERFUNCTION).
RefreshForces a refresh of the tree view (*see note).
Trace SettingsRuns the client trace settings dialog. Options are:Error Messages: Enables/disables the tracing for internal Integration Framework.System Messages: Enables/disables the tracing for .NET and Microsoft Windows error/warning/messages.Warning Messages: Enables/disables the tracing internal Integration Framework warnings (high detail).Information Messages: Enables/disables the tracing for Internal information messages (very high detail).EXAMPLE: Configurator - Trace setting window![Figure 1511: Configurator - Trace setting window

Note: *The tree is automatically refreshed upon a change in the Integration Framework configuration tool. This means that if there are multiple clients connected to the same Integration Framework server, upon a change saved by a client all the other clients are automatically updated, and the tree will be redrawn according to the change (e.g. remove of a node/item in Case a client deletes one object).
