To convert an entity definition from a generic definition into a
self-defined definition, do the following:
- Move the entity definition from the generic file to the self-defined
file.
- If necessary, add the identification of the self-defined definition
to the dse.ini file.
- Call the reset(entityToReset) method to delete the entity definition
from the generic definitions held in memory.
- If necessary, call the com.ibm.dse.base.Settings.resetSettings("files")
method.
- Call the reset(entityToReset) method to add the definition to the
self-defined definitions held in memory.
To convert an entity definition from a self-defined definition
into a generic definition, do the following:
- Delete the self-defined definition from the self-defined file.
- Call the reset(entityToReset) method to delete the definition from the
self-defined definitions held in memory.
- Add the generic definition to the generic file.
- Call the reset(entityToReset) method to add the definition to the generic
definitions held in memory.
Note that changing the modularity of a definition can only be done
by stoppingĀ the toolkit and re-initializing it.
