Tallis Composer User Interface: Enacting a Process-Description
Verifying a Process-Description
Before enacting a process-description you can search for syntactic and basic semantic errors in the process by using the Verify tool.
Select Run > Verify (or click the Verify button on the toolbar .
The Process-Description Verification Report dialog appears. In the upper panel is a list of all the tasks containing errors. The lower panel displays error details for the selected task. When you select a task in the dialog, it is also selected in the work area (tree & network). The report dialog is modeless; it can remain on screen while you make the necessary changes to your process-description; click Update to re-verify the process-description. The Cancel button closes the report dialog.
Running a Process-Description in the Tester
Running a Process-Description in the Tester
You can test and debug a process-description by running it in the Tallis Tester.
Select Run > Run In Tester (or click the Run In Tester button on the toolbar ).
The process-description is first verified. If no errors are found, the Tallis Tester is launched and the process-description is enacted.
Note:
- User interface modifications such as customised web pages do not appear in the Tallis Tester.
- Due to the Web Enactment being based around a sequential set of web pages (rather than a set of interactive panels as in the Tester) there are certain other minor differences in the runtime behaviour (most notably concerning the relationship between sources and enquiries).
