Generating a New Steplib

This section describes how to generate a new steplib into a NaturalONE project. The steplib file will be created locally.

Start of instruction setTo generate a new steplib:

  1. Open the context menu for the project.

  2. Select Business-Services > New Steplib.

    The Define Steplib Details panel is displayed, showing the name of the project. For example:

    graphics/new-steplib.png

  3. Type the name of the steplib in Name.

    Note:
    If the steplib currently exists, a message will be displayed.

    Optionally, you can:

    Task Procedure
    Select another NaturalONE project into which to generate the steplib. Type the name of the project in Project or select Browse to display a window listing the existing projects for selection. The project must currently exist.
    Retrieve the steplib definitions for a secured library. Type the name of the library in Natural library or select Browse to choose the library from a list of available libraries.

    Notes:

    1. If you specify a secure project and a library, the steplib definitions in the specified library will be copied; if you specify a non-secure project, the steplib definitions associated with the project will be copied.
    2. This option is only available when Natural Security is installed.
  4. Select Finish to generate the steplib file.

    The generated items are added to your NaturalONE project and the new steplib is now listed in the Navigator view. For example:

    graphics/new-steplib-in-navigator-view.png

    Open the steplib file to display details in the editor view. For example:

    graphics/new-steplib-in-editor.png

    Note:
    By default, the settings defined in Properties > Natural > Steplibs on the context menu for the project are used as the default steplib chain.

  5. Add step libraries to the steplib chain in Library List.

    For information, see Add a Step Library to the Steplib Chain.

  6. Save the steplib file.

    Note:
    You can upload the file to the server using standard NaturalONE functionality.
