-CS Lines tab in a Server or Server Dialog
In the -CS Lines tab of the Server and Server Dialog editors, you must specify, for each Business Component, the Logical View that is used. For this Logical View, you must indicate the accessed Segments of a file, a table, or an SQL view. For each Segment, you must specify its call characteristics.
-CS Lines table
This tab contains a table with the external resources that are called in the Business Component-type Server or Server Dialog. The table can include Logical View calls, Server calls, and their associated resources (Segments and Data Elements).You can create call lines and remove or reorder the existing call lines from the contextual menu or the buttons that are associated with the table. From the contextual menu, you can also copy, paste, expand, or collapse the existing call lines.
You can enter the information on the call lines in the corresponding definition sections. For example, you enter the call information of a Segment in the -CS Lines - Segment call definition section.
You can also enter the information directly in the table. Some of the columns in the table display values in a list. When you move your cursor on a value of the list, the label that is associated with the value is displayed in a tooltip.
In the Access key, Seg / LV, D. Block, and Server columns, you can call an instance directly or replace a called instance.
