Template and Profile
A template for Baan contains the following parameters:
| Field name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| BaanInterface | Internal | Specify the BaanInterface 3GL object. If it is not specified, the object BaanInterface.o will be executed. Using this parameter it is possible to test another version of this 3GL object. |
| BAMODE | External | Mode of the Baan user interface; this must be set to 1, meaning no user interface |
| BSE | External | Directory where the Baan Software Environment is installed |
| BSE_COMPNR | External | The Baan company number. If this parameter is not specified, the default company of the Baan user will be used. |
| BSE_LANG | External | Specify the language to be used. It this parameter is not specified, the default language of the Baan user will be used. The language must be specified as the general language codes used in Baan, e.g. 1 = Dutch, 2 = English, etc. |
| BSE_TMP | Internal | Directory where temporary files can be created by the Baan application (usually $BSE/tmp) |
| BSHELL | Internal | The command to start a bshell (ba6.x for Unix, and ntbshell.exe for Windows) |
| BSHELL_NAME | External | Corresponds to the bshell name specified in the BW configuration |
| CodePage | Internal | Specify the Windows codepage number in case the output contains characters of another language. E.g. code page 28592 for Central European languages like Czech |
| Encoding | Environment | Specify the encoding for the communication between the Business Connector and the Baan Connector. For UNIX use UTF-8, for Windows use Unicode. |
| Interface | Internal | Specify the BCS_BAAN object. Using this parameter it is possible to test another version of this object. |
| IP | Internal | Specifies on which server the interface of this profile is installed. |
| KeepConnectionOpen | Internal | This is a standard Ometa field. False è For each Baan method a BaanInterface will be started, the method is executed, and the BaanInterface is stopped. True è This keeps the connection open, and also the BaanInterface stays active. Subsequent Baan methods can reuse the already active BaanInterface which improves the performance. |
| OpenConnectionIdleTimeAllowed | Internal | This is a standard Ometa field, and is useful in case KeepConnectionOpen is set to True. Once the connection is idle for the specified number of minutes, the connection will be closed. This will also end the active BaanInterface. |
| PACKAGE_COMB | External | The package combination that corresponds with the company number (BSE_COMPNR). If this parameter is not specified, the default package combination of the Baan user will be used. |
| PATH | External | Colon-delimited list of directories that the OS searches through when a command is executed |
| Port | Internal | Specifies the port on which the interface listener is bound to. |
| TERM | Terminal setting used for Unix, usually vt100 | |
| USER | Use this parameter to execute a method as a specific Baan user (in stead of the account that BCSL is started with). This parameter can only be used in case Baan is running on UNIX. |
