Changing target components

Changing target components allows you to alter selector component processing by either changing the selection criteria for a specific target component, changing the target component for a selection criteria, or changing both the selection criteria and the target component.

Before you begin

To perform this task, a selector table must exist.

Why and when to perform this task

Change a target component to alter the selection criteria or use a different target component for an entry in the selector table.
Important: Before changing target components for long-running applications, stop the application before proceeding. Do not change target components while a long-running application is processing.

Steps for this task

  1. Display the selector table as described in "Displaying selector tables."
  2. Click the Target ID next to the target component to change. The system displays the Target component details panel.
  3. Change the entry.
    Portion of entry to change Steps to change
    Target destination
    1. Click arrow next to the target component list. The system displays the eligible target components.
    2. Select the target component from the list.
    Selection criteria
    1. Type over either the Start Date, End Date or both. The date you enter depends on the locale of your system and will be displayed according to the locale format. For the US English locale the format displayed is:
      • Month
      • Day of month
      • Year in YYYY format.
      • Time in HH:MM:SS format
      • Time zone
    Target destination and selection criteria
    1. Click arrow next to the target component list. The system displays the eligible target components.
    2. Select the target component from the list.
    3. Type over either the Start Date, End Date or both. The date you enter depends on the locale of your system and will be displayed according to the locale format. For the US English locale the format displayed is:
      • Month
      • Day of month
      • Year in YYYY format.
      • Time in HH:MM:SS format
      • Time zone
  4. Optional: Click the Default check box to make this the default target component.

    If the selection criteria does not fall within the range of any other target components, the selector component uses this target component.

  5. Click Apply or OK.

    To continue working in this display, click Apply. To return to the target component display, click OK.

  6. Click Save on the target component display to save the changes to the selector table.

Result

The selector table file now contains the updated selection criteria and target components. The selector component uses the updated selector table to process the next request received.
