Catalog Type
|
Displays name of the catalog of the catalog item
selected in the catalog list in Catalog Editor.
|
Library Source
|
Displays the selected catalog item library file
(*.xml) or the library file selected when using
to
create new library sources.
|
Create
Library source file
|
Opens the Create Library source file dialog pointing
to the default folder where library files are saved. Enter a valid library file
name and click
Save.
Tip: It
is recommended you name the library file similar to the selected catalog type
name.
A given Catalog Type can have multiple set of
library files created to work in distributed project environment. This is done
by using the
icon for already opened
library and saved after naming the library file different.
|
Select
Library source file
|
Opens the Select Library source file dialog pointing
to the default folder where library files are saved. For types having libraries
already created in the library location, the library source field automatically
picks the latest library name. For Catalog Types having multiple set of library
files created, pick a valid alternate library file from the list that
corresponds to the current catalog type and click
Open.
Note: The default
location of the library content loaded and unloaded is set with the variable
DG_CATALOGS_LIB. This is a unique
location assigned to catalog library (default location at
\\dataset\datagroupcatalogs_lib), hence the
path should not be appended with other configuration variables. Attempting to
open an XML file that is not in association with the current catalog type
prompts an error message:
"xml does not contain any catalog items that
belong to the 'selected' catalog type". You need to select a file that
contains
"selected" catalog type items.
|

By default, items moved from Catalog Item

Dataset are stacked in the
Workset level. However, you can promote
desired items to
Workspace followed by
Organization level, simply by moving them
up. Based on the order of currently selected Catalog Item level, the move up or
move down button is enabled.
- - Moves the
selected Catalog Item to upper level.
- - Moves the
selected Catalog Item to lower level.
Note: For default types having no Workspace / Workset level items,
moving a catalog item down, say from Organization or Workspace creates new

types that have items moved to the workspace or workset level dataset, creates
an XML Catalog file in the dataset
datagroupcatalog folder.
