When you create user-defined nodes,
you must first create a user-defined node project to contain the nodes
and their supporting files.
About this task
To create a new project for your
user-defined node, complete the following steps:
Procedure
- Click .
The New User-defined Node
Project wizard starts.
- Either select an existing category, or select Create
a new category and specify the name of a new category
for the nodes that you are creating.
Your user-defined
nodes are displayed in the palette in the Message Flow editor under
the category you specify for the project.
- Specify a name for your project.
- Specify a name for your plug-in identifier. To
be consistent with the supplied nodes, and to avoid conflict with
the names of node projects that are supplied by other independent
software vendors, use your Internet domain name for your organization
as part of the name and plug-in identifier. For example, the name
and plug-in identifier must be of the form
com.xyz.nodegroup
,
where com.xyz is the company Internet domain name.
You can save any number of nodes in a single project.
- Accept all default values and click Finish.
Results
A project folder that
contains all the supporting files that are required for your user-defined
node is shown in the Application Development view under Independent Resources.
