Configuring the Hardware Product Subtype Derivation User Interface Text

After you create a Hardware Product subtype, you must configure the text that displays in the user interface when a user selects a derivation level for the new Hardware Product subtype.

Note: You must update two property files—emxProductLineStringResource.properties and the appropriate language string resource property file, for example, for English: emxProductLineStringResource_en.properties.

See Properties for Hardware Product Subtype Derivation User Interface Text.

Configuring Properties
  1. Create or open the text file to contain customized properties. For more information, see Editing Properties Using MQL.
  2. To specify the text that displays for each derivation level in the user interface, follow these steps:
    1. Add or edit this line in the file used to import properties into a page object: 

      DerivationLevel.type_<Hardware Product Name>.Display.Level0 = <Main Release Name>
DerivationLevel.type_<Hardware Product Name>.Display.Level1 = <Fix Release Name>
      where:
      • <Hardware Product Name> is the name of the Hardware Product subtype that you created.
      • <Main Release Name> is the text to display for the first derivation level for the Hardware Product subtype.
      • <Fix Release Name> is the text to display for the second derivation level for the Hardware Product subtype.

      For example:

      DerivationLevel.type_SP_PRD_SubHP.Display.Level0 = Main Release
DerivationLevel.type_SP_PRD_SubHP.Display.Level1 = Fix Release

      Note: The Hardware Product subtype inherits Level 0 and Level 1 derivation levels from the parent Product type. If you have created additional derivation levels, you must also define properties for their display levels.

    2. Set the values for these properties depending on your business requirements.
  3. When finished updating the text file with all properties you want to modify, including the ones shown here, use the text file to modify the emxProductLineStringResource.properties and the appropriate language string resource property page objects. For more information, seeEditing Properties Using MQL.
