Compile custom symbols to create a .dll for each symbol. You can create symbols using Visual Basic .NET or Visual C++. For more information, see Move custom .dlls to SharedContent folder.
-
In Windows Explorer, locate the SharedContent folder on the reference data computer.
-
In the Address bar, the path must be in the form of a Universal Naming Convention (UNC). A standard UNC path uses double slashes or double back slashes preceding the name of the computer. For example, \\server.ingrnet.com\SharedContent, where \\server.ingrnet.com is the reference data computer name.
-
If you are running Oracle on Linux, the SharedContent folder must be on a Windows-based computer.
-
-
If you are creating the symbol mapping file for the first time, add a folder under the SharedContent folder called Custom Symbols.
-
Copy the symbol .dll files into the Custom Symbols folder. You can organize the symbols as needed, with or without sub-folders.
-
In Project Management, select a catalog that uses the SharedContent folder where your custom .dlls are located.
-
Click Tools > Update Custom Symbol Configuration Command to open the Update Custom Symbol Configuration Dialog Box.
-
Click Start to begin processing.
When processing finishes, the status bar shows the status of the process as "Successfully updated the custom symbols configuration file."
-
If there are duplicate ProgIDs, select the .dll to use for each duplicate, and then click Update.
-
Click Close.
If the software finds duplicate ProgIDs between existing symbols in the reference data and symbols in the Custom Symbols folder, the Update Custom Symbol Configuration Dialog Box displays.
