In BTT definition files, you can import the predefined
BTT elements.
Before you begin
You must have predefined elements stored in BTT definition
files. To import predefined BTT elements, you can:
- Create a new BTT definition file.
- Use a <import/> tag in the form of <import
file="BTT definition file"> in the new
definition file. BTT definition file is the file
which you want to import.
Note: - The best practise is to put all the <import/> tags
in the beginning of the definition file.
- When there are duplicated elements defined in both the reusable
file and the local definition file, the elements in the local definition
file will be effective.
- Use the elements defined in the imported file. For more
information, see .
Example
Here's an
example of how to import reusable BTT
definition file.
<data.xml>
<!-- data import file -->
<import file="data-import.xml">
<import file="nestedElem.xml">
<import file="gvt.xml">
<!-- data import file from sub folder-->
<importfile="\filder1\folder2\datafile.txt">
<field id="" value="">
<kColl id="signInData">
<field id="userId" value="">
<field id="pw" value="">
<field id="float" refType="Float">
<!-- field refId="signInData"/--> </field></field></field></kColl>
<iColl id="customeriColl" size="3" description="customericoll">
<refData refId="signInData">
</data.xml>
In this example, file
data-import.xml,
nestedElem.xml,
gvt.xml,
and
\filder1\folder2\datafile.txt are imported.
Note that you can use relative path to import file in different folders.
What to do next
After the predefined elements are imported, you can reuse
these elements in your new BTT definition files. See
Using predefined reusable elements after importing.
