The RAS artifact types are used by the RAS importer and the RAS
exporter to specify information about a packaged artifact. The description
for the artifact type appears in the manifest file for the RAS
asset. All previously registered extensions are listed in alphabetical order.
You can add, delete or modify artifact types in the Artifact Descriptors
Configuration list.
To add a new artifact type to the list of RAS registered artifact
types:
- Click
- In the Preferences window, expand RAS and
click Artifact Descriptors Configuration. The
page on the right lists all previously registered extensions in alphabetical
order.
- Next, do one of the following depending on whether you want to
add, modify or delete a descriptor:
- To add a new artifact, click New. Type your
new extension without the dot that precedes an extension and type the artifact
type or the related application name. Click OK and
specify the resource type in the Preferences window.
- If you want to modify an artifact, click the descriptor in the Artifact
Type field and type the new information or click and change the
type in the Resource Type field.
- If you want to delete an artifact, click the extension you want to
delete and click Delete. (Note that if the New and Delete buttons
are unavailable, you cannot delete this artifact type.) To undo a deletion,
click Cancel. Any changes made to this page while it
was open will be lost. Restoring defaults will delete any added or changed
artifact descriptors.
- Do one of the following:
- Click Apply to continue modifying preferences.
- Click OK to save and exit.
