Component with Connection Action
The Component with Connection Action is unique because it lets your 5250
component call another component which will share the same connection. The
action allows you to break up a large component into a main 5250 component and
any number of sub-components so it is easier to maintain the Action Model. The
ability to have the main component share with the sub-component the connection
greatly reduces the amount of connection overhead and transaction navigation at
run time. Before you begin, determine how many sub-components you will
require and then build and save the shells (containing no recorded actions) for
when you are ready to begin recording.
