Create a custom tree layout structure for a project

The Advanced Database Editor (ADE) Tree Layout schema is defined in XML files that describe how the tables within the Realtime database (RTDB) appear in ADE.

The xsi:schemaLocation property defines which XSD file to use for an XML file:

• The DNATreeLayoutSchema.xml must define the DNATreeLayoutSchema.xsd file as a reference.

  xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.telvent.com/DNATreeLayoutSchema

  ..\..\..\DNATreeLayoutSchema.xsd"

• The DNATreeLayoutSchema.Alter.xml must define the DNATreeLayoutSchemaAlter.xsd file as a reference.

  xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.telvent.com/DNATreeLayoutSchema

  ..\..\..\DNATreeLayoutSchemaAlter.xsd"

Follow the procedure below if the customer wants the tables under each view type ordered in a specific way.

To create a custom structure for a project

1. Navigate to the following directory:

   %DNADataRoot%\ADE\config\ADE\TreeLayout\

2. Create a folder called <folder name>.

3. Within the <folder name> folder, create the following folders:

   baseline

   custom

4. In either the baseline or custom folder, create a folder called <component>.

5. In the baseline\<component> folder, create the following file:

   • DNATreeLayoutSchema.xml

6. In the custom\<component> folder, create the following file:

   • DNATreeLayoutSchema.Alter.xml

7. To compile the tree view using the DNATreeLayoutSchemaMerge process,

   • For the -f option, use the created <folder name>.

     For example:

     DNATreeLayoutSchemaMerge -p ADE -f abc -d Verbose -t
