Data Items MOD000100

Access path

  • Customizer System Customizer Data Items

In this module you can

  • edit data items by changing the data item parameter right here in the module or by caarrying out different actions on data items via the context menu.
  • define value ranges for data items
  • assign sub-data items to data items and thus define a data item structure if they are complex data items
  • add notes to the data items
  • have a look at dynamic variables in which the selected data item is used

Attention

  • In this module, no new web interfaces can be created. New data items can only be created within data tables of the Data Dictionary module.

Edit Data Item

Information
  • Data items can be edited
    • by adjusting the data item parameter right here in the module according to your requirements or
    • by opening special modules via the context menu with the help of which you can edit particular components of the data items like, e.g., exits, value ranges, symbols, etc.

    • Update System Customizing

    From S 39.5.20

    Attention
    • If system customizing changes are made to data tables or data items (e.g. new data items are created, data item parameters are changed), the NEW Tools Restart PLANTA service menu item must be carried out in order to make the changes visible.
      • Note: If you click on the menu item, all open client connections (sessions) are closed. During restart, new client connections are not possible. This does not apply to changes made to I-texts, e.g. changes to the DI name or adjustment of value ranges (also of the VR type).
      • NEW Before restarting the service, the target directory must be deleted so it can be created anew upon server restart in order to make sure that the POJO classes contained in it, which are responsible for the meta data of the data dictionary, are generated anew.

    From S 39.5.13 / DB 39.5.5

    Attention
    • If system customizing changes have been made to data tables or data items (e.g. new data items have been created, data item parameters have been changed), the Reload system customizing button must be clicked on, or the Tools Reload system customizing menu item must be carried out in the Data Dictionary or Data Items modules to make the changes visible.
      • This does not apply to changes to I-texts, e.g. changes made to the DI name or adjustment of value ranges (also of the VR type).

    From DB 39.5.3

    • If system customizing changes have been made to data tables or data items (e.g. new data items have been created, data item parameters have been changed), the NEW Reload system customizing button, or the menu item of the same name, must be clicked on in the Data Dictionary or Data Items modules to make the changes visible.
      • This does not apply to changes made to I-texts, e.g. changes made to the DI name or adjustment of value ranges (also of the VR type).

    From S 39.5.0

    Attention
    • If system customizing changes have been made to data tables or data items (e.g. new data items have been created, data item parameters have been changed), the NEW Restart server button, or the menu item of the same name, must be clicked on in the Data Dictionary or Data Items modules to make the changes visible.

    Data Item Structure

    Information

    • Data items that are built from other data items in a hierarchical structure in line with particular rules are complex data items.
      • They receive their values and properties from sub-DIs, but act like conventional data items and can be displayed and partially edited in modules.
      • They are always virtual.
      • They can be made up of simple or complex data items. The structural depth of a complex data item is not limited.

    Procedure

    • Enter the required data item in the Data Items module.
    • Right-click on the data item record.
    • Select Insert Sub-DI from the context menu.
    • Enter the number of the sub-DI in the Sub-DI field.
    • Define the parameter for the sub-DI.
    • Save.

    Dynamic Variable

    Information

    • The display of the dynamic variable is purely informational. The assignment and editing of dynamic variables takes place in the Dynamic Variables module.
