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:
- Select .
- In the text box, enter your modifications to the template.
- 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:
- Using an XML editor, open the adaptor template. Adaptor templates
are located in the following directory:
bfinstall\interface for
computers running Microsoft Windows operating systems
bfinstall/Platform/interface for
computers running UNIX or Linux operating systems
- Enter your modifications to the template.
- Change the adaptor name and then save the adaptor template.
Note: Adaptors
and adaptor templates must have unique names.
- 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.
