Choosing PREV on the first page of a documentation module takes you up one level in the documentation hierarchy.

Choosing NEXT on the last page of a documentation module takes you back to the first page of the same module.

Navigator Facility

The navigator facility is a Java applet that runs in a separate window. Invoke it by choosing either INDEX or CONTENTS from the navigation bar on the HTML page.

The navigator software is supplied by PHD Computer Consultants Ltd.

Once the navigation applet is started, you can switch between the tree view (Contents) and the Index (if present) by selecting the appropriate tab, as illustrated in the figure below.

Problems with Blocked Content

Software AG documentation uses active content (JavaScript and Java applets). With Service Pack 2 (SP2) for Windows XP, Microsoft introduced a range of powerful new security features. One effect of these security features is that warning messages appear whenever you try to display HTML pages that use active content, for example Software AG documentation, in the Internet Explorer. A typical warning message that appears in the Internet Explorer information bar is:

Warning:
To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls that could access your computer. Click here for options...

To continue using the documentation, you can do one of the following:

Start of instruction setTo unblock active content

In the Microsoft Internet Explorer:

  1. Choose Tools> Internet Options.

  2. Choose the tab Advanced.

  3. Scroll down to the section Security.

  4. Check (tick) the box Allow active content to run in files on My Computer.

  5. Choose OK.

  6. Restart the Internet Explorer.

The warning messages should now no longer appear.
