Customization of the default generation target

By default, the generated files are stored with the design files but you can assign them a separated generation target. You can customize the default generation target through a dedicated Rational Programming Patterns application programming interface.

The default target of the generated file corresponds to the COBOL folder field of the instance Definition tab.

A Java extension point makes it possible to modify the default value that is displayed in this field.

Using this extension point, you can also specify how duplicate generated files are to be managed when the Pacbase data is migrated. For information, see Managing duplicate generated files. You can use this extension point to customize the standard management of duplicate generated files in two ways:
  • Modify the COBOL folder where duplicate files are to be migrated,
  • Specify in which order duplicate files are to be placed into the various COBOL folders.

You must create an Eclipse plug-in that includes this extension point, and define the associated Java class. Programming interfaces are available.

To deploy this new component, you need to create an update site and install it on your development workstations.
