Converting One or More Applets
The Applet Web Template Conversion Wizard allows you to convert one or more existing applets to a grid-based layout.
To convert one or more applets to a grid-based layout
- In the Configuration Context Toolbar, make sure the application context that you want, such as All Applications, is selected.
The wizard only converts controls that are valid in the current application context selected in the Configuration Context Toolbar. For example, if Siebel ERM is selected, only controls valid in the context of Siebel ERM are converted. If controls are not valid in the selected application context, a dialog box appears giving you the option of canceling the conversion or continuing. If you choose to continue, the controls not converted are written to a log file (
awtconversion.txt)
that is located intools_instal
l
\temp
. See About Grid Layout Conversion Error Messages.- In the Object Explorer, select the Applet object type.
- In the Object List Editor, select the applet or applets that you want to convert.
The applet must be based on one of the supported applet classes and one of the applet Web templates listed in Supported Applet Classes and Applet Web Templates.
- Do one of the following:
- Move the applets you want to convert from the Available Applets window to the Selected Window.
- Select additional options.
It is recommended that you select the Backup existing Applet Web Templates option.
If you select the option to Display the Web Layout Editor after conversion completes, the applet web template displayed in the editor is the last applet that was selected in Step 5.
- Click Next.
The wizard converts the applets from standard Web templates to grid-based layout Web templates.
If no errors occur, you can edit the layout of these applets using the Web Applet Editor. For more information, see Editing the Web Layout of Applets.
If errors occur, they are displayed in a dialog box at the end of the conversion wizard. The same content is stored in a log file (
awtconversion.txt)
that is located intools_instal
l
\temp
. For more information about errors, see About Grid Layout Conversion Error Messages.
