Creating a library
Create a library to contain a logical grouping of related code, data, or both, that can be reused.
Read concept information about libraries in Applications and libraries.
To convert an existing project into a library, see Converting a project to an application or library.
The order in which you create resources is flexible. You can begin by creating an application, then create resources to add to it, or you can begin by creating libraries of resources, then create an application that refers to them. You can also convert an existing project into a library.
Libraries are optional; create one if you want to reuse resources, or if you need to use particular resources in your solution.
The resources that a library can contain include Adapter connections, CORBA IDL files, and schemas. The resources that an application can contain include message flows, ESQL files, and subflows. An application can also refer to one or more libraries. To create an application, see Creating an application.
To create a library, complete the following steps.
- If you have not already done so, you can create an application by following the instructions in Creating an application.
- To create resources in a library, see Creating resources in a library.
- To add and remove project references in the library, see Adding and removing library references.
