Creating a channel between partitions:
1. Open the Configuration Diagram that is named <module name> Configuration Diagram.
2. Ensure that the Partitions you want to link are shown on the diagram.
3. Create the required Ports on the Partitions you want to link. For each port:
a. Click the required toolbar button:
Source Queuing Port
Destination Queuing Port
Source Sampling Port
Destination Sampling Port
b. Click within the Partition, and then drag the port to the required position.
c. Open the port's Property Pages, and then click the Queuing Port or Sampling Port tab.
d. Set the properties as required. To set a property: right-click the Queuing Port or Sampling Part, point to Set, and then click the command for the property you want to set. For more information, see the related links below.
4. Click the Channel toolbar button, click the source port, and then click the destination port.
The Channel can link only two Queuing Ports or two Sampling Ports. In addition, the Channel must start at a Source Queuing Port or Source Sampling Port, and end at a Destination Queuing Port or Destination Sampling Port.
5. Ensure that each Queuing Port and Sampling Port is linked to another Queuing Port or Sampling Port on a different Partition through a Channel.
You can now create applications in your partitions. For more information, see Creating an application.
