Configuration Instances

The following table shows using Configuration Instances:

Design Phase Tasks	P	E	Scoping Objects	Note
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	7, 8
3. Rename Configuration Instance	D	D	Configuration Instance	7, 8
4. Modify Configuration Instance including select/unselect target objects, update generation and trace options	M A	D D	Configuration Instance Load Modules (optional)	5, 7, 8
5. Generate Configuration Instance without making any changes	R R	F F	Configuration Instance Load Modules (optional)	5, 6
6. Generate Configuration Instance after making changes to generation options or trace options	M A	F F	Configuration Instance Load Modules (optional)	5, 6, 7, 8
7. To change Configuration Instance from model based to file based Note: Deletes the objects from the model.	D	D	Configuration Instance	7, 8
8. To change Configuration Instance from file that is based to model based Note: Creates the objects in the model.	A	D	All target objects	7, 8

Notes:

Subset must include Load Modules to select objects under the Model Object Selection tab.
Subset must include Databases to select objects under the Database tab.
Model must not be read-only.
If the subset type is Unit or System, must scope Database with Access.
Required to explicitly scope load modules if Configuration Instance currently includes all load modules within the business system. Otherwise the model object selection is empty.
Recommend the subset type set to System for generation
The target objects must have at least Access protection. If a target object is downgraded to Read, user cannot perform this function.
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 to ensure that the Index gets the Access protection needed. Selecting a database for inclusion in a Configuration instance require that all Tables associated with that Database have Modify or Delete protection so that the associated indexes are 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.
