Type Library Importer

The Type Library Importer is accessible through the Importer Wizard. The Importer Wizard is an applet that is run from the Type Designer by selecting Import from the Tree menu.

The Importer Wizard uses a series of maps to convert metadata into a type tree script file (.mts). The Type Tree Maker then processes this type tree script and generates a type tree that contains all the supported types that are defined in the imported metadata.

Many of the type trees that are generated by the Importer Wizard can be immediately used for map development. However, depending on the contents of the interface-specific metadata file, it might be necessary for the generated type tree to be modified using the Type Designer.

Note: You cannot simultaneously have a type tree open in the Type Designer while importing a schema with the same name.
