Defining the File Type Code

Each file reference definition that you create for the project must be associated with a file type code. The file type code stores generic information that is applicable to a group of files within the same target directory.

Access the file type code definition from Tools, and then Miscellaneous Definitions, and then File Type Codes.

To define the file type code for the file reference definition:

1. Click New to access the New File Type Code dialog box.

2. Enter a file type code and click OK.

   The file type code can be up to 30 characters in length. This action opens the File Type Code dialog box.

3. Enter the Path.

   This notifies Change Assistant where the file belonging to this type code should be deployed. The only supported environment variable for use is %ps_home%.

4. Enter a description for the file type code.

   This field is required in order to save the definition.
