Volume generation format
The
following two formats are available for the file that is generated
from the Volume:
- XML: This format displays the names of
the descriptions and fields according to the MAF (Model Access Facilities)
model.
- HTML: This format makes it easier to read
the generated result. The names of the descriptions and fields are
identical to the names that are displayed in the Rational Programming
Patterns interface. It includes a table of contents with active links.
The table of contents is followed by the instances and the descriptions
that constitute the Volume.
- Output folder / file
You must specify
where the generated file is to be produced:
- You can generate it in your local workspace. Select Enter
or select the workspace parent folder. Indicate the output
folder that will contain the generated file. You must also indicate
a file name in the Workspace File name field.
Its extension must correspond to the selected generation format. You
will be able to see the content of the generated file by right-clicking
it and selecting the appropriate editor in the Project
Explorer view.
- You can also generate outside the local workspace. Select Select
file to generate to and enter or select a folder. You
must also specify a file name with the appropriate extension.
