Extensions

Use extension to indirectly edit base objects (standard database objects that are contained in your project). You can add as many extensions as you wish to the base objects in the API Designer.

Extensions are edited when you configure the base objects. This means you add an extension to the object and change the property value. The base object is subsequently compiled and the modification resulting from the extension is highlighted in the API Designer.

Base objects to which you want to add an extension can be identified as colored nodes in the Object definitions view in the Definition tree view.

Viewing and saving generated code belonging to a node

In the Definition tree view, you can view a node's generated code (within a database object) and copy or save where necessary.

This function is particularly useful if you are looking at code in detail and want to reuse parts of the code, or you want to examine an error in more detail.

NOTE: You cannot edit the code.

NOTE: If you want to search for a specific point in the code, you can use the shortcut Ctrl + F.

To view a node’s generated code

  1. In the menu bar, click View > Navigation.

  2. In the navigation, double-click the database object that contains the node you require.

  3. Click the node in the definition tree view whose code you want to see.

  4. Click (Generated code).

    The code will be displayed in a code view.

To save the generated code as a file

  1. Run the steps previously described.

  2. In the code view, select the code that you want to save.

  3. Right-click the highlighted code.

  4. Click Copy.

  5. Click Save as in the context menu.

  6. Select a name and location for the file in the save dialog and click Save.
