When an Operation/Flow/View is selected, the possible actions shown
in the context menu (takes operation as an example) are shown as:
Open
Opens the Operation editor. If you select
several operations, different editor tabs are opened in the perspective.
For a single operation selection, the Open action behaves the same
as double-clicking on the operation name.
Copy/Paste/Delete
Allows you to copy, paste
or delete the selected operations (multiple selection is allowed).
- Copy/Paste
When you copy a flow either by selecting the menu option, using
the ctrl+c short key or pressing the ctrl key and dragging the flow
to the new location,,you will only be allowed to paste it on another
Flows folder, either using the context menu Paste option or, using
the associated short-key. (ctrl+v) or using the drop capability.
The
Paste option is only available when one or several operations in this
project or any other project in the workspace have been copied to
the perspective clipboard. All copied operations are pasted to the
same destination folder.
- Delete
When you delete an operation, you are prompted for confirmation.
If you press OK the operation will be deleted from your development
environment.
If then you click on the “Preview” button, a preview
dialog will be opened containing all the changes that are going to
be performed as immediate consequence of the flow deletion: the list
of files that will be deleted from the system and all required changes
to other files in the system.
Note: although you are allowed to uncheck some
of the actions that are listed in the Preview view, this is not recommended
as this may generate inconsistencies in your development environment.
Move/Rename
Allows you to move or rename the
selected operations.
- Move
- When selecting the Move… option, the Move Resources wizard opens
to choose the destination folder.
- The Move action can also be done using drag and drop. In both
cases, a flow can only be moved to another Flows folder and the origin
folder cannot be selected. When selecting several flows, all of them
will be moved to the same destination folder.
If you want to verify the actual files that are going to
be moved as a result of your action or if there is any problem (for
instance, a resource flow with the same name already exists in the
destination folder) or check for the references that are going to
be affected, you can click on the Preview button:
- Rename
The
Rename… option is only used with a single selection.
If several operations are selected, the Rename… will apply to the
first operation in the list. When selecting the Rename… option, the
Rename Resource wizard opens to choose the new name. The name you
enter has to be with no extension.
- If you want to verify the actual files that are going to be renamed
as a result of your action or if there is any problem (for instance,
a resource flow with the same name already exists in the destination
folder) or check for the references that are going to be affected,
you can click on the Preview button.
Note: although you are allowed to uncheck some of
the actions that are listed in the Preview view, this is not recommended
as may generate inconsistencies in your development environment.
When deleting, moving or renaming flows, the Preview
view always shows first the flow refactoring changes (delete, move
or rename action on the selected artifact) and then any other required
change in the workspace. These additional changes are categorized
in two different groups:
- “Technical Changes” group contains the changes to internal tooling
files. Although you are allowed to uncheck some of the technical changes
that are listed in the Preview view, this is not recommended unless
you are an experienced beta developer that understands the tooling
technical details. Deciding not to do one or several of the required
technical changes may generate inconsistencies in your development
environment
- “References” group contains the references in the workspace to
the deleted, moved or renamed flows and all changes that are going
to be made to these references if the action is done. The beta developer,
in this case, may unselect some of the recommended changes if he wishes
to skip them.
After the deletion, move or rename, if a change listed in
the Preview view was unselected, it will be shown as a validation
error in the Problems view of the workspace.
