When creating the provider, the following guidelines are recommended:
- Create the set of XML files for your provider in a separate Data folder.
- Never directly manipulate the XML files delivered in the Gateway/Data folder.
The XML files are used to load the seed data you create or customize into the Primavera Gateway database. The changes made in these XML files also directly impact the Gateway user interface elements. For example, if the MetaData.xml file now includes additional business objects, these business objects will be visible in the Data Dictionary menu of the relevant provider.
