MvxViewDefMerger Tool

The MvxViewDefMerger merge tool for view definitions can merge two or three .mvx files. The MVX file contains all information for a view definition and consists of one or more record formats.

A record format can consist of the following:

• record field information

• visual parts

• function keys

• options

• array

• list

You can start the merge tool by first selecting a View Definition file in the M3 Adaptation Kit (MAK) Navigator and then selecting Merge from the context menu.

The tool presents the MVX file content as a tree with icon symbols:
