10-10-2 Downloading a Recipe
There are two ways of downloading a recipe definition in runtime. The first
method is to use a CX-Supervisor script function attached to a graphical object
on a page, such as a push button. The function call is:
DownLoadRecipe("<NameOfRecipe>")
The other way to download a recipe, is to display the Recipe Viewer as
described in the previous chapter. Highlight the desired recipe from the recipe
list and click the button. The Download Recipe dialog box opens:
The Modify Target button allows the target value for an ingredient to be
modified by means of the Modify Ingredient dialog box (shown above). An
ingredient must already be selected from the list of ingredients for this recipe.
Any change to the target value is of a temporary nature and is not permanently
changed in the recipe definition. Any number of ingredients may be modified in
this way before the recipe is downloaded.
Selecting the OK button attempts to download the recipe. If for some reason
the recipe definition can't be found, the following error message appears:
"Unable to find recipe".
One recipe download must be completed before another recipe download is
started. If a recipe download is already in progress when another is started,
the following error message appears: "A recipe download is currently in
progress".
If any validation code has been entered for this recipe, the validation is
conducted first. If the validation is successful, the recipe is downloaded. If the
validation fails, the recipe is not downloaded and the following error message
appears: "Unable to download selected recipe".
