Creating an additional file of type Other

Use the Additional File Properties window of the Create a New Infor LN Software Component wizard to initialize and create a new additional file in your local workspace. This window is the wizard's second dialog box.

For more general information about the wizard, see Create a New Infor LN Software Component wizard.

Note: The Create a New Infor LN Software Component wizard does not create a file. Instead, the wizard links an existing file, such as an XML schema file or a GIF image, to a specific package, module, and package VRC. Therefore, before you start the wizard, put the additional file in a directory on your machine.

Select File > New > Infor LN Component.
In the Component Type field, select Additional File.
Click Next. The Select Type page is displayed.
Select Other and click Next.
The Additional File Properties page is displayed.
Specify this information:

Name

Specify a package code and a module code, and click Browse. Then browse to the folder where the additional file is stored and select the file. The name of the selected file is appended to the package and module name. The name of the folder is displayed in the File Path field.

For example, you specify package tc and module com, and you select the test01.gif file. Therefore, the additional file name becomes tccomtest01.gif.

Description

Specify the description of the additional file.

All fields of the Additional File Properties window are required. After you created the additional file, you cannot change its name. However, you can change the description.

For more information about the additional file properties, see the online help of the Additional File Editor.
Create the additional file.
To create the additional file in your local workspace and to exit the wizard, click Finish. The created additional file is displayed in the Activity Explorer view of the Application perspective.
You can now edit the new additional file in the Additional File Editor.
