Code Generation Template export?

[RobB]

Hi,

I work as a member of a development team that just recently began working with EA. My question is how one could distribute the modified Code Generation Templates among team members. Are there any built in export functions for this purpose or can I copy some file to my co-workers installation?

In the worst case I can always copy the text from my templates to my co-workers templates...but this seem to be a rather tiresome alternative.

thanks,
Robin

Robin,

You can do this by exporting and importing reference data. You'll find the necessary dialogs under the Tools main menu.

When you have created your templates they will appear in the list of reference data available for export. Select them - and any other data you wish to export - and perform the export. On import your team members will see the same options, and should select the templates they want.

This is covered in help, but you really need to dig. Using the .hlp file, follow this path: Code Engineering / Code Template Framework / The Code Template Editor / Importing and Exporting Code Templates.

Once you have caught your breath you will fine two whole sentences. They are actually worth reading, since they show the format your template name will have in the Export Reference Data dialog, and there is a link to the appropriate section of the help file (which is somewhat more detailed).

Okay, that was exactly what we needed!
Thanks!
