How to Modify Resource Files in PROJECT Style Environment


As long as System Designer resides in the PROJECT style environment, upgrading the software does not automatically modify the resource files in the directory specified by the environmental variable CR5_PROJECT_ROOT.
You are required to modify those resource files after completing the upgrade.

The following provides the basic information on how you should modify the resource files of three types: B, N, and X. For details on the resource files and their file types, please refer to "List of modified/added resource files" contained in "Revision Up Release Notes."


Backup install upgrade
(type of applicable files: B)
In this type of upgrade, the resource files (identified by "B") of the previous revision are renamed with ".bk" extension, and the latest ones are installed.

Since some of the B-type resource files may not be usable any more or some may cause troubles due to the changes between the latest and previous ones, copy the latest ones in the directory specified by $ZDSROOT to that by $CR5_PROJECT_ROOT, and then modify them as required to make appropriate changes to the items in the files.

New install upgrade
(type of applicable files: N)
In this type of upgrade, the resource files (identified by "N") of the previous revision remain as they are (without their names being changed), and the latest ones are installed with ".new" extension.

The N-type resource files are usable. However, there have been many changes made to the resource files, so that you are required to make appropriate changes to the items in the previous files based on the latest ones.

Not install upgrade
(type of applicable files: X)
In this upgrade, the resource files (identified by "X") of the previous revision are the same as those of the latest revision.

You are not required to modify the resource files of System Designer in the PROJECT style environment.


* About PROJECT Style
This is the way in which the resource files can be shared across the network, allowing each node on the network to reference them. In this environment, the resource files stored in a location pointed by the environmental variable CR5_PROJECT_ROOT (specific for PROJECT style environment) are referenced by the nodes, in preference to their local master resource files in a directory pointed by the environmental variable ZDSROOT. PROJECT makes it possible to establish a working environment common to two or more authorized nodes and address resource file locations for different projects by using the environmental variable CR5_PROJECT_ROOT.

For details on how to use System Designer in the PROJECT style, please refer to "Before You Start" of "System Designer Rev.6.0 Environment Construction Guide."
