Creating Global Functions: Explained

To create a global function, do the following:

1. Click Navigator, and select Application Composer.

2. In the Overview window, click Global Functions.

3. For each Groovy script file do the following:

   1. Select the row, then click the Action drop-down list, and select Add.

      The Create Global Function window appears.

   2. In the Function Name field, enter the function name from the first comment in the Groovy file.

   3. From the Returns drop-down list, select the return type specified in the second comment in the Groovy file.

   4. In the Parameters list, click the Action drop-down list, then click the Add icon.
