To use the Evidence Generator, the evidence type information must be provided in the following files:
- Rational® Software Architect Model
- The evidence type has to be modeled in Rational Software
Architect. The new evidence entity, its attributes and its
operations must be added to the Rational Software
Architect Model.
- XML File
- Additional server-side meta-data is recorded in an XML file.
This additional information can include, for example, the evidence
entity's relationship with a parent or child entity.
- EUIM File
- Additional client-side meta-data is recorded in an Evidence
User Interface Meta-data (EUIM) file. The information that is pulled
from this EUIM file is used by the Evidence Generator to build all
the screens needed for maintaining an evidence entity.
- Properties File
- The properties file contains localization information and
online help content for the evidence maintenance screens.
