Hi Proiv-RC,

I am a glovia user, using SL, Kernel 4.60.

I was trying to define a new Bus and Task interface for use in one of our new business applications. I have figured out how to do most of what I need to do EXCEPT mapping the B&T parameter to the applicable Update Windows Interface Parameter (I set it up using I as the regen process option). I looked through the Bus and Task documentation, but unfortunately it seems that the documentation only talks about mapping through the Developer Studio which isn't installed (the Glovia documentation on installing the Pro-IV system explicitly says to de-select this as an install option).

I have tried going into the parameter screen and changing to change mode (f-6) but I cannot get to the TSKVAR field which is what I assume I should be using to edit this. I have even tried doing an expand mode.

I appreciate any help you can give me on this matter.

Thanks,

By defining a new B&T Interface, I'm assuming that you mean "Define a new Task Definition" through the function "SLTSMNTS". If this is the case, then you are attempting to map the parameters in the wrong place. When you define a Task, all you are telling ProIV is that some other program is going to be sending in some data. You also specify the tag names that the other program will use to attach the data to, and the update name.

At this point, Glovia can't differentiate one value from another. It's not until you map the Parameter field names to the Windows Parameters in the function definition that Glovia knows where and what the value being received represents.

Try going into "SLREGENS", typing in "I" at the options, make sure you have all the variables defined that you'll be receiving and passing back, and then press <F9> to expand your options. It is there that you map the B&T parameters to the update's parameters.

HTH,

In speaking to someone else, I had gotten the same answer. Unfortunately I updated only my post to the Glovia User Group and not this one. Thanks for the quick answer though. Its good to know I am not the only one out there hacking away at Glovia Pro-IV.

Thanks,
