Storing shared library files on the Mid Tier

To store native library files for plug-ins

1. Open the Data Visualization System Files form.
   

2. In the Name field, enter the file's name.

   This name must exactly match the name of the file that is attached at the bottom of the form. If the name does not match, the data visualization field will show an error message when the application within the field is run.

3. Enter a description.
4. Enter the status.
   The options are Active or Inactive. If the status is Inactive, the file is not copied during an upgrade or re-installation.
5. Select the platform:
   • Windows
   • Solaris
   • Linux
   • AIX
   • HP UX

   • All — This option is used for .jar files, which are used on multiple platforms.
     The Mid Tier copies only those files that match the platform you select, except for the All option, which copies .jar files.

     Entries are indexed by the Name and Platform fields.

6. In the Version field, enter the version number of the binary file that you are saving.
   Use the following format:
   majorVersion. minorVersion. subminorVersion. patch
   For example, for version 2.0.01, patch 002, enter:
   2.0.01.002
   You can omit the trailing numbers. For example, for version 2.1.00.000, you can enter:
   2.1
   If the same file is available on a different server with a later version, AR System matches the version string. Then, it uses the latest version.
7. Add the file to the attachment field.
8. Click Save.
