In CA AppLogic® for System z, each application has access to a two or more catalogs. At a minimum, the application has access to the global system catalog and to its local catalog.
The global system catalog contains appliance classes that are common for CA AppLogic® for System z and are accessible to all applications. Changing an appliance in the global catalog affects all applications.
The local catalog contains appliance classes specific to the application you are editing. Each application has its own local catalog. Changing an appliance in the local catalog affects only this application. Many applications don't actually have any appliances in the local catalog and use only appliances from the global catalog.
You can select which catalog to use by choosing it from the drop-down above the palette.
The appliance classes in a catalog are grouped by category. You can visually collapse or expand a category by clicking on the category name. If the catalog has a lot of appliances, you may be able to scroll the catalog up and down too.
The editor shows the catalog appliances with smaller shapes, using the same color and terminals as the appliance will have when dropped on the canvas. The class name of each appliance is shown under the shape.
You can create an instance of an appliance class by dragging its shape onto the canvas.
