Configuration Diagram
Figure 5–4: Configuration Page Right Column — Business Operation
When not selected, shapes in the diagram have the following background colors:
Color
White
Gray
Orange
Business host status
The item has been added to the production configuration and is enabled.
The item has been added but is disabled. Compare the enabled FindRateFileService with
the disabled FindRateEmailService in the full-size Configuration Page diagram in the previous
section.
The item is referenced by another item within the production, but is not yet added to the
production. The background color changes to white or gray after you add the referenced
item.
5.1.2 Configuration Names
The most important characteristic of any item in a production configuration is its name.
By default, the name of a configuration item is the name of its underlying host class. When this is the case, the package
name displays at the top of the shape. The host class name appears below the package name. For examples, see the business
operations FindRateEmailOperation, FindRateFileOperation, and FindRateTCPOperation in the previous figures.
You can assign the item a name that is different from its host class name. If so, the configured name displays in the item
shape and no package name displays. This is true of the My Terminal Output business operation in the full-size configuration
diagram at the beginning of this chapter.
5.1.2.1 Different Configuration Names, Same Host Class
Naming configuration items independently of their host class names provides flexibility in configuring your production.
For example, if you want to use the same business service host class to communicate with various external sources, but
you want to use slightly different runtime settings in each case, you can do so by assigning a different name to each configuration
of the host class. A change to the underlying class code changes the behavior of all of the items of that class.
