Introduction

This is a Do It Yourself - Step-by-Step exercise that leads you through the steps necessary to

Requirements

In order to do this exercise, you will need:

Tutorial layout

In this exercise:

  • Each step is defined by text on the left and a resulting "screen-shot" on the right
  • The text includes a short title followed by a numbered sequence of instructions or comments.
  • Where the instructions require text to be entered into a form, the text is usually shown on the screen shot rather than in the instructions.
  • The result of the step is the screen-shot shown to the immediate right of the instructions.
  • When you execute the step, your application (or a portion of it) should be similar but not identical to the screen shot.
  • because of the instructions-left/results/right pairing, several of the instruction sequences start with a phrase like "Press SomeButton (on previous screen)"
    That is, the button or control to be selected is shown on the previous screen shot.

Apply Changes

"Activate" proposal and apply changes to data base

  1. On the ProposalView pane:
    1. Click on your proposal file in the list of Proposed Change Requests to select it
    2. Click Activate and verify your proposal is shown as the Active Proposal
    3. Click Apply
  2. The Apply button should appear to remain depressed and after a bit of grinding, the pane at right should appear.
  3. This pane is a display of the process log that applied the selected change control against your data base
  4. If this panel does not appear after 30-60 seconds, or if the Apply button no longer appears depressed, your change proposal did not get processed. The most likely reason is that you did not fill in one of the fields on the proposal meta-data entry form. You can View your proposal and the select Edit Meta-data Wizard to verify this.
