Procedure documentationLibrary Definitions

 

The Library Definition view provides an overview of active and inactive libraries. A library definition is a collection of objects, attributes, and relationships between objects and attributes. Some objects can also be attributes of another object in the form of a reference. Only one library can be active at any given time.

The Details of Library screen area displays more information about the selected library definition and contains the following tab pages:

  • Object contains basic information about the objects in the selected definition. The Maintainable column indicates which objects you can create, change, and delete in the Objects view.

  • Attributes displays information about the attributes, for example, Cardinality indicates how many times an attribute can be assigned to an object. Reference indicates whether an object is an attribute of another object in the form of a reference.

  • Objects and Assigned Attributes displays information about which attributes are assigned to which objects and other information, for example, whether search help is available or whether an attribute is mandatory for the object.

    Note Note

    The Created at and Time columns refer to when the object was added to the library; they do not refer to when the object was first created.

    End of the note.

Prerequisites

A library definition is configured and set as the active library during the technical implementation.

Procedure

Uploading Library Definitions

You can upload library definitions to Custom Code Management from an XML file.

You set up the first library definition as part of Customizing. Any further library definitions you upload are initially assigned the Inactive status until you activate them manually. Only one library definition can be active at any given time.

Proceed as follows:

  1. In the Library Definition screen area, choose Upload.

    The Select CCLM Library Definition dialog box appears.

  2. Find and select the XML file and confirm your selection.

Downloading Library Definitions

You can download library definitions from the application as XML files.

Proceed as follows:

  1. In the Library Definition screen area, choose Download.

    The Select CCLM Library Definition dialog box appears.

  2. You can either overwrite an existing file or create a new file.

    • To overwrite an existing XML file, select the file and confirm your selection.

    • To create a new file, enter a new file name.

The library definition is saved to your file system.
