Configuring Custom Validations for SIM Bundle
PTC Arbortext Content Delivery enables you to add custom validations for SIM bundle using a copy of the customizedContext_XX.conf.xml configuration file located in the <HOME>\SW\Config\Applications\ContentManager\Config\BusinessLogic directory.
 |
In the customizedContext_XX.conf.xml file name, XX represents the default numeric value for the file.
|
PTC does not recommend editing the default configuration file. Instead, you can create a copy of the default configuration file and add custom validations to the copied version of the file. The copied configuration file name must have a numeric value that is less than the default numeric value for the file.For example, if the default file name is customizedContext_3.conf.xml, then you can copy and save this file as customizedContext_2.conf.xml. You can then use the customizedContext_2.conf.xml file to add custom validations.
|
|
Hereafter, the copied version of the default configuration file is referred to as customizedContext_YY.conf.xml.
|
The custom validation must extend a default validation. For a list of default validations for SIM bundle, see Default Validations for SIM Bundle.
You must define a component for each validation in the customizedContext_YY.conf.xml file and include the validation entry under the SIMValidationScanner component of the customizedContext_YY.conf.xml file. For more information, about adding a custom validation, see Adding a Custom Validation for SIM Bundle
Defining Validations
A validation component in the customizedContext_YY.conf.xml file includes the following details.Element Description:
• Component specifies the name of the validation component.
• Creation specifies the method used for creating the component. The Type attribute for this element is always JavaObject.
• Class specifies the Java class of the validation component. A Java class is a custom Java file that extends an existing default validation for SIM bundle.
