Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Progress Dynamics Basic Development

Adding a file to the Repository

You can use the Register in Repository option to add AppBuilder-created files to the Repository as static objects. For example, you might have an existing Static SmartDataObject™ that you want to add to the Repository so you can build other Repository objects from it.

To add an AppBuilder static file to the Repository as a static object:

Choose File Open File. If the file is already open, click in its design window to make it the current design object.
Choose File Register in Repository.

The Register in Repository dialog box appears, as shown:



Select a Product Module in which to save the file in the Repository.
Select an Object type for the static file you are adding.
(Optional) Categorize your object. Select one or more of the deployment options or select Design object if this is not intended to be a deployed object. Not selecting an option means the object will be included in all deployments.
Choose OK to save the static file as a static object in the Repository.

The AppBuilder enables the Register in Repository option for static files that have already been saved to the file system and that are open in the AppBuilder as non-Repository files. Otherwise, the option is not enabled for use.
