Modifying a Template for a Single Adaptor

Use this procedure to modify a template for a single instance of an adaptor only.

Before you begin, know what you want to modify. For example, you may want to change notifications or modify the BOM report format.

If the adaptor you want to modify has been created, make your template modifications through Management Console, as follows:

  1. Select Projects > Adaptors .
  2. In the text box, enter your modifications to the template.
  3. Click Save Adaptor.
    Note: Your changes are saved only to the instance of the adaptor template associated with the adaptor in the Build Forge database. Changes are not saved to the adaptor template file in the interface directory.

If the adaptor you want to modify has not been created, modify the template before you create the adaptor, as follows:

  1. Using an XML editor, open the adaptor template.
    Adaptor templates are located in the following directory:
    <BuildForge_directory>\interface
  2. Enter your modifications to the template.
  3. Change the adaptor name and then save the adaptor template.
  4. Reset the adaptor templates to pick up your modified template and add it to the list of available templates in the Management Console. See Resetting Adaptor Templates.
