Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
AppBuilder

Creating and placing a SmartConsumer instance

The SmartConsumer is supplied as a precompiled master. Creating and placing an instance is a straightforward process.

To create and place an instance with the SmartConsumer:

Click the SmartConsumer tool icon in the Object Palette:



Position your mouse cursor over an empty spot in your workspace and click to place the object. If you have a SmartRouter in place, AppBuilder opens an Advisor dialog box and offers to create a ROUTER SmartLink. If, instead, you have a SmartB2BObject or SmartReceiver in place, the Adviser will offer to create an INMESSAGE link. In either case, accept the offer unless it seems inappropriate.
Click the Menu button and choose Properties. The Property Sheet dialog box opens:



Change the instance handle to one that more accurately describes the role of this SmartConsumer in your application.
Configure the instance. Save your work.
