Adding local data of a type defined on a global java project
About this task
In some situations, you may want to add some data to your
local project data dictionary but reuse some of the already defined
types in a global java project.
Procedure
Go to the local project Definitions > Data Dictionary
folder and right-click on the Data table to add a new data.
Select the NewChild > Data option.
Click on the button besides RefType in the Detailed Information
panel. Then you can get the list of possible types to select, including
those defined in the global java projects shared in your environment.
In our sample, the remote type is TestBusinessType and
is defined in project GJ_Business1Data . From the functional developer
perspective, there is no difference between local or remote resources.
In this case that the type definition does not come from an import,
the only way to check for the project that contains the definition
is to navigate through all project definitions in your BTT perspective,
although in most of the cases this is not needed.
