Importing predefined elements

In BTT definition files, you can use an <import> tag to reuse the elements defined in reusable BTT definition files.

BTT elements are defined in BTT definition files. There are three kinds of BTT definition files: global definition files, self-defined definition files, and reusable definition files. You can reuse your predefined elements in a newly created self-defined definition files by importing the BTT definition file which contains that element. Only reusable BTT definition files can be imported.

Before importing the predefined elements, you must create reusable definition files. Carefully category the elements that you want to reuse, and then store them in separate files. You can put the elements that have logical relationship in one file, which helps to maintain these elements. Data, format, context, type, service, invoker, operation, and processor elements can be imported and reused. Identify reusable elements you already defined by function or feature or any other standards, then category the element into different reusable definition files. In this way, the reusable element can be managed with one or more dimensions.

To reuse elements by using the import function, note that:
