Modules

The Modules form is used to 'register' Exor modules, Reports etc, within the system. The form is accessed from the Configuration page, Security menu.

Note: The Modules form applies only to Oracle Forms environments and is provided here for backward compatibility purposes.

Note: This data is defined at the time of Implementation/Upgrade and should only be amended under strict supervision or control of Bentley support staff.

The Modules form displays every module available in the system in a grid. Clicking on a module will display a sub-panel below listing the roles that are related to the selected module. Note that you cannot delete existing modules.

Each module has the following properties:

Module Name (Required): This is the Unique Id of the Module used within the Fastpath module.
Title (Required): This the Title and Description of the Module (applies only to Exor Forms environments).
Filename (Required): This is the name of the actual Oracle Forms, web page, Discoverer Report etc that is called when the Module is launched.
Module Type (Required): This is the Type of the Module. Allowed values are:
- FMX - Forms Executable
- WEB - Web Page
- DIS - Oracle Discoverer Report
- SVR - Server Based Executable (inc SQL)
FastPath Invalid (Yes/No): If this flag is set to true, the Module cannot be called from the Fastpath option.
Use GRI (Yes/No): If this flag is set to true, the module will use the Generic Reporting Interface (GRI) when called.
Product (Required): The Exor product to which the Module belongs will be displayed.

Any User Roles, and the Mode of access, to which the Module has been associated will be displayed in the Roles Panel. Further Roles may be associated with the module using this form, or the Module may be associated with the Role using the Roles form.
