Configuring a Derived Output Parameter File

You can define a Derived Output Parameter object that contains a scripted functionality to execute when creating derived output.

For more information, see Derived Output Parameter File.

You first create a business object for the specific Derived Output Parameter file, and then an ECADInteg-GlobalConfig object to use that object when a user creates derived output.

Before you begin: The javascript and supporting files must already be created and stored on the server.
  1. Open an MQL window.
  2. To create the Derived Output Parameter object, execute these commands: 

    set context user creator;
add bus "Derived Output Parameter" <DOP-NAME> <REVISION> policy "Derived Output Parameter Policy" 
     vault "eService Production";

    Where <DOP-NAME> is the name you define for the object and <REVISION> is the revision level.

  3. To modify the ECADInteg-GlobalConfig object to use the Derived Output Parameter object, execute these commands: 

    modify businessobject "ECADInteg-GlobalConfig" CadenceAllegroGlobal TEAM 
     "IEF-DerivedOutputTypeDefaultParameterObjectMapping" 
     "<DO-NAME>|Derived Output Parameter,<DOP-NAME>,<REVISION>";
modify businessobject "ECADInteg-GlobalConfig" CadenceAllegroGlobal TEAM 
     "IEF-DerivedOutputParameterObjTypeMapping" 
     "<DO-NAME>|Derived Output Parameter";

    Where:

    • <DO-NAME> is the name of the type that will use the Derived Output Parameter file when generating derived output.
    • <DOP-NAME> and <REVISION> are the name and revision of the object created in Step 2.

  4. To check the javascript file into the Derived Output Parameter object, execute these commands: 

    tcl;
cd <path to DOP file>
exit;
checkin businessobject "Derived Output Parameter" <DOP-NAME> <REVISION> 
     format generic append "<DOP-Name>-<DO-Name>.js";

    Where:

    • <path to DOP file> is the location on the server where the javascript file is stored
    • <DOP-NAME> and <REVISION> are the name and revision of the object created in Step 2.
    • <DOP-Name>-<DO-Name> is the name of the javascript file that conforms to the required syntax.

  5. If the javascript file requires supporting files, execute this command for each file: 

    checkin businessobject "Derived Output Parameter" <DOP-NAME> <REVISION> 
     format generic append "<FILENAME>.<EXT>";
