Adding a Delta

From the Delta Browser, use the Add command from the Delta menu to add a delta.

When you load a schema that contained delta information when it was extracted, you must redefine your deltas in the newly loaded schema, as delta information is not extracted or loaded.

If you want checked out methods loaded, check the Check Out Methods check box on the Advanced Load Options dialog. (For details, see "Specifying Advanced Load Options", in Chapter 10 of the JADE Development Environment User’s Guide.)

To add a delta

  1. Select the Add command from the Delta menu. The Add Delta dialog is then displayed.

  2. In the Delta Id text box, enter an identifier name for your delta.

    The delta name must be unique, and cannot contain spaces. JADE converts the first character to uppercase.

  3. In the Description text box, enter a description of the delta, if required. The description can be used to uniquely identify a delta.

  4. Click the OK button when you have defined your new delta.

    Alternatively, click the Cancel button to abandon your selections.

When you click the OK button, the Delta Browser then displays your newly defined delta.
