EGL Reference Guide for iSeries
A build descriptor part controls the generation process. To edit the
general build descriptor options and symbolic parameters, do as follows:
- When you are working in the EGL or EGL Web perspective, open an EGL build
file with the EGL build parts editor. If you do not have a file open,
do as follows in the Project Navigator:
- Right-click on the EGL build file
- Select Open With > EGL Build Parts Editor
- By default, the Outline view is open in the EGL perspective. If you
are working in the EGL Web perspective, open the Outline view by selecting
Show View > Outline from the Window menu. In
the Outline view, right-click on a build descriptor and select
Open. There are two buttons in the upper right corner of the
editor view. Make sure that the Show General Build Descriptor Options
button (the first of the two buttons) is pressed. The EGL build parts
editor displays the general build descriptor options for the current part
definition.
- You can optionally create a chain of build descriptors, so that the first
in the chain is processed before the second, and the second before the
third. If you want to begin or continue a chain of build descriptors,
specify the next build descriptor in the nextBuildDescriptor
field. If the nextBuildDescriptor row is not highlighted, click once to
select the row, then click the Value field once to put the field into edit
mode. You can type the name of the next build descriptor in the Value
field or select an existing build descriptor from the drop-down list.
- To specify the generation and preparation of EGL output, select a grouping
of option-and-value pairs from the Build option filter drop-down
list. If the option you want to define is not highlighted, click once
to select the row, then click the Value field once to put the field into edit
mode. You can type the option value, or if a drop-down list is
available, select an existing value. If you want to limit your view of
option-and-value pairs to the ones you have defined, click the Show only
options specified check box.
