Add artifacts to a xCP Project

mikaeldjerf

Hi,

I have a few artifacts (object models) I want to share between several xCP Applications. My plan is to share these within a common sub-project. I have created a new project for this in one of my applications but I can't figure out how to add the object models to this new project.

Does anybody know how to add artifacts to an added project?

Regards,

Mikael

Creating artifacts in a project

1. Invoke New wizard for the artifact

2. Provide the name and choose the project in which you wish to create the artifact and click Finish

This will create the artifact the project instead of the application

Moving the artifacts to project

1. Right click the artifact and select Move to

2. Select the project to which you wish the artifact to be moved

This will move the artifact to the selected project

Sharing as Library

1. Export the project

2. Select export as library option

3. Add this library to other application in which the artifacts are to be shared

Note that this is recommended way of sharing artifacts across applications. The library artifacts can not edited in other application and stay read-only.

Sharing the project

1. Export the project

2. Import the project in other applications

3. Note that artifacts of the imported project in other applications will be editable and one change will not reflect in others

Deployment

The libraries/projects are not sandboxed. If two applications have a library or project with same namespace, then one will overwrite the other. Thus, if library was used and library artifacts being read-only the overwrite will not be a problem. However, if they were shared as project instead and edited independently then the later deployment will overwrite the previous deployment of the project with same namespace.

Hope this helps.
