Configuration Instance

The following table shows using Configuration Instance:

Step	Description	P	E	Objects	Considerations
1	Add Configuration Instance	A	D	All target objects: Load Modules, Procedure Steps, Action Blocks, Database, Records, and/or Storage Groups.	1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9
2	Delete Configuration Instance	D	D	Configuration Instance	5, 8
3	Rename Configuration Instance	D	D	Configuration Instance	5, 8
4	Modify Configuration Instance including select/unselect target objects, update generation and trace options	M	D	Configuration Instance	5, 6, 8
		A	D	Load Modules (optional)
5	Generate Configuration Instance without making any changes	R	F	Configuration Instance	6, 7
		R	F	Load Modules (optional)
6	Generate Configuration Instance after making changes to generation options or trace options	M	F	Configuration Instance	5, 6, 7, 8
		A	F	Load Modules (optional)
7	To change Configuration Instance from model based to file based Note: This will delete the objects from the model.	D	D	Configuration Instance	5, 8
8	To change Configuration Instance from file based to model based Note: This will create the objects in the model.	A	D	All target objects	5, 8

Note:

Subset must include Load Modules in order to select objects under Model Object Selection tab.
Subset must include Databases in order to select objects under Database tab.
Model must not be Read Only.
If subset type is Unit or System, must scope Database with Access.
Target objects must have at least Access protection. If a target object is downgraded to Read, user will not be able to perform this function.
Required to explicitly scope load modules if Configuration Instance currently includes all load modules within the business system. Otherwise, the model object selection list will be empty.
Recommend subset type set to System.
If a Configuration instance includes (or would like to include) an index, the parent Table for the index must be included in the subset with Modify or Delete protection in order to ensure that the Index gets the Access protection needed. Note that selecting a Database for inclusion in a Configuration instance will require that all Tables associated with that Database have Modify or Delete protection so that the associated indexes may be included in the instance.
When a configuration includes the storage group for a database, it is recommended that the database is also selected in the configuration.
