Customizing Manifest Attributes

You can set and customize the Manifest attribute values by modifying the PLMExportManifestDefaultValues.CATNls file if you have the administrator rights. 

Required baseline access roles: Author, Leader.

  1. To customize the Manifest attribute, create a folder to use the local runtime view.
    For example:
    D:\customization\local_runtimeview
  2. Copy the PLMExportManifestDefaultValues.CATNls file to the local runtime view folder.
    For example, when you install app in Japanese language, the PLMExportManifestDefaultValues.CATNls file is then available at the following location:
    <installation_dir>/OSDS/.../<language>/PLMExportManifestDefaultValues.CATNls
    Tip: Do not to modify the name of the CATNls file or the file format.
  3. Set the environment file in the installation path.
    For example:
    <installation_dir>/CATEnv/Env.txt
  4. Update the local runtime view folder path in CATMsgCatalogPath variable and add the modified value at the beginning of the existing file path.
    For example:
    CATMsgCatalogPath= D:\customization\local_runtimeview; <installation_dir>/OSDS/resources/msgcatalog
    Note: While customizing attributes,
    • Do not to delete the existing file path stored in CATMsgCatalogPath variable.
    • The Manifest file attributes are not initialized with customized values, if you provide incorrect path or do not update the local runtime view folder path.
    • A warning message appears when you modify CATNls file name or extension.
  5. To edit the attribute, enter the values inside the quotes and terminate it with a semicolon (;).
    For example, to edit the value of From attribute, you can enter:
    From= "mycompany@abc.co.in";

    Following is an example of the values as provided in the CATNls file:

    From="mycompany@xyz.co.in";
    To="yourcompany@abc.co.in";
    Title="Tyre Designs Project";
    Comment="Tyre Design Part I";
    Copyright="XYZ company";
