Copy the PrAD Logic

Now that you have a DLG for the distributed process application, you need to copy the PrADs from the terminal-based application.

Follow these steps:

  1. Open the business system for the terminal-based application.
  2. Select the Action Diagram tool.
  3. Open a PrAD that you want to copy.
  4. Open the business system for the distributed process application.
  5. Select the Action Diagram tool. You now have two windows open for the Action Diagram tool.
  6. Open the corresponding server PrAD.
  7. Select all lines of the logic in the terminal-based PrAD. Do not include the views.
  8. Select the blank line below the views in the distributed process PrAD.
  9. Select XCOPY from the Edit menu to copy the logic from the terminal-based PrAD to the distributed process PrAD. The views get copied also.
  10. Repeat steps 3 and 6 through 9 for each PrAD that you need to copy from the terminal-based application to the distributed process application. When finished, close the Action Diagram tool for the terminal-based application.
