About this task

To open an existing type tree, either double-click the type tree .mtt file in any directory listing, or select the type tree .mtt file from the Extender Navigator view in the Design Server. Select the option under Transformation Extender preferences to change the default behavior to always open the Transformation Extender Development perspective when you double-click an existing type tree (.mtt) file outside the Design Server.

Procedure

To open an existing type tree:

  1. Determine if the type tree file is in your current project.
    If so, make sure the Extender Navigator view (workspace) is open and complete steps a and b.
    1. Expand the project's subtree to show the desired file.
    2. Double-click the file.
      The type tree opens in an editor window.

    When the type tree file is not in the current project, it must be imported.

  2. Click File > Import.
    The Import window opens.
  3. Expand General.
  4. Click File System and click Next.
  5. Click Browse to locate the file directory.
  6. Choose the directory that contains the type tree and click OK.
    The source and destination directories and files appear pictorially in the Import window.
    Tip: To select only specific file extensions for import, use the Filter Types option.

    After you make your import selections, you must browse for a folder into which to import the type tree.

  7. At the Into folder field, click Browse.
    The Import into Folder window opens. This window displays the folders in the current project.
  8. Select a folder and click OK.
  9. Under Options, make additional selections if needed.
    • Overwrite existing resources without warning.
    • Create a complete folder structure.
    • Create selected folders only.
  10. Click Finish.
    The files you selected are imported into the project.
