Modifying EDM Objects

Once an object is defined in the Enterprise Data Manager file, you can modify the name or display order. Only modify the name of an object if you modify the corresponding object name in the Object Definition file and the remaining configuration files. Do not change the parent object name. If you modify an object in the object definition on the Configuration Editor, the the Enterprise Data Manager file is automatically updated as well.

To Modify an EDM Object

1. In the Projects window, expand the Configuration node in the project you want to modify, and then double-click the Enterprise Data Manager file.

   The file opens in the NetBeans XML editor.

2. Scroll to the node element naming the object to modify.

3. To modify the object name, change the value of the node element to node-object_name, where object_name is the new name for the object.

4. To modify the location of the object in the EDM tree structure, change the value of the display-order attribute.

   For example:

   <node-Alias display-order="2">

5. If necessary, renumber the order of other child objects so they are sequential.

6. Save and close the file.
