Override a baseline step

The general process used to override a baseline step within an Execution Pipeline is to create a copy of the baseline source code file for the step in your own custom project and make the necessary code modifications. You then alter the Execution Pipeline’s configuration file to reference your custom assembly name. The name and location of the baseline source, and the name of the configuration file and coding particulars, are different for each instance of an Execution Pipeline. For detailed information about source location, example code, and the location of the configuration for your pipeline scenario, refer to the documentation relating to your pipeline instance.

High-Level Procedure

1. Locate the source for the pipeline step that you want to override.

   The source location is specific to each instance of an Execution Pipeline.

2. Place a copy of the pipeline step file in the newly created custom project and leave the namespace unmodified.

   Change the step name only if desired.

3. Modify the logic in the step as desired.
4. In the %DNADataRoot%\RealTime\config\Settings directory, either create or open the appropriate configuration file for your pipeline instance.
5. Modify the AssemblyName for the step to point to your custom assembly name.
