Create a Liberty Lux subfolder and install the Liberty Lux Customers
process from the Process Library.

1. Navigate to Component Explorer and create a folder for your process called Liberty
Lux.

Note: Unsure how to create a folder? Check out Create a Folder.

2. Install Liberty Lux Customers from the Process Library.

Note: Unsure how to Install a Process from the Process Library? Check out Install a

In the Liberty Lux Customer connection component, replace the

hard-coded username, password, and database name with a
placeholder.

1. Open the Build page's database connection component (Liberty Lux Customer).

3
2. Set the User Name, Password, and Database Name to ***SET AS EXTENSION
*** and select SAVE and CLOSE.

Note: Your password will show "Click to Set" until you type it in. After that, it will change
to "Encrypted."

Define the extensions for your component in the extension dialog and
save the process.

1. In the Build canvas, select the Extensions icon to specify your extensions.

2. Select the User, Password, and DB Name boxes, and OK.

Note: Because the process only has one connection component it is the only accessible
connection.

5
3. Save the Process.

Note: Please disregard any messages saying that no modifications were made.

Test the process in test mode, providing extension values.

1. Select Test on the Build page to run the process.

2. Select the Test Atom Cloud as the Atom and expand Test Extensions.

3. Select Liberty Lux Customer from the Connection drop-down. Uncheck each Use
connection component value, and enter the following:

Password LLCustomerTest

DB Name LLCustomerTest

copying and pasting.

7
4. Select OK. Remember the goal of this activity is to connect to the database.

Note: The connection component has placeholders, and the User, Password, and
Database Names are set in the extension dialog. The procedure would fail at the
Database Connector shape if you had not set the extensions in the extension dialog.

8
5. Test the process in Test Mode by inputting the extension values provided in the
tables below.

Extendable Properties Production
