Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "We can include other contexts through the use of the include directive."

A block of code is set as follows:

select * 
from dbo.al_langtext txt
  JOIN dbo.al_parent_child pc
  on txt.parent_objid = pc.descen_obj_key
where  
  pc.descen_obj = 'WF_continuous';

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

AlGUIComment ("ActaName_1" = 'RSavedAfterCheckOut', "ActaName_2" = 'RDate_created', "ActaName_3" = 'RDate_modified', "ActaValue_1" = 'YES', "ActaValue_2" = 'Sat Jul 04 16:52:33 2015', "ActaValue_3" = 'Sun Jul 05 11:18:02 2015', "x" = '-1', "y" = '-1')

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

setup.exe SERVERINSTALL=Yes

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "Open the workflow properties again to edit the continuous options using the Continuous Options tab."

Note

Warnings or important notes appear in a box like this.
