Introduction | Information Center
You can create, edit and delete applications. When you click the Create or Edit buttons the following text boxes and drop lists appear:
This is the name of the application. Allowable characters are A-Z, a-z, 0-9, underscore, or special characters (for example, accented characters) when running in a language other than English. The names Public, Private, and Properties are reserved and cannot be used for an object name.
Use this option to import a J2EE application that already exists on the application server to IBM Alphablox. For example, if you are running with WebSphere and you have an application that you want to add IBM Alphablox content to, select Yes for the Import from an existing J2EE Application.
This is the name that appears on the Applications tab.
This is an optional application description. Generally, you use this to explain
the content or purpose of the application. For example, the application
name might be FinanceReports, and the description might be Quarterly Sales
Results. The description appears on the console when using the show
command.
This is the relative URL to where the starting page for application resides.
Note: The URL to that application must be relative to the application.
This is the URL for the image used on the Applications page. This is an optional entry. When this is filled in, the image appears next to the application name on the Applications page.
Note: You can test the home and image URLs by pressing the Test Home URL or Test Image URL buttons.
This is the application state that is restored and opened when the application is accessed. If an autosaved state exists for a specific user and the Restore Saved Application State property is set to Yes, the user's saved application state will be restored when opened by that user. The default saved state is saved as a Public application.
This is the role used for this application. Indicate whether to enable access control, which limits application access to the named users and groups.
If you leave this blank and leave it enabled, a role is automatically created, and you must update it for users to access the application. If you leave this blank and change it to disabled, no role is created and all users have access to the application.
This is the time, in minutes, an application can remain idle before the user session times out.
When set to Yes, this property specifies that the most recent autosaved state will be loaded when the application is opened. If this property is set to No, the default saved state is restored when the application is opened.
This option sets if a link to the application is available on the Applications page of the IBM Alphablox home page. Set to Yes to include the link, set to No to not include it.
This option allows current Java client users to indicate whether a link to the HTML rendered version of this application is accessible from the list of applications under the Applications tab.
By default, a new application uses the dhtml render mode. The printer render mode option is primarily used by setting the render attribute on a Blox using JSP tags, but can be set here if a specific application requires it.
Header links are the tags displayed on the member names to pop up a link
to a URL. The tags use an information icon as a link to the URLs specified.
Each link specified in the Header Links text box has the form <member
name> = URL with a line break between each link.
