  1. In Schema Editor, click File > File Configurations > Open Configuration to open the configuration file that includes the delivered schema files on which you want to build your custom schema extensions.

  2. Open the new schema file that will store your extensions.

  3. Click File > File Configurations > Edit Configuration. The Edit Configuration dialog box appears.

  4. Using the check boxes in the last column on the right, choose the delivered schema files on which the new file will be dependent.

  5. In the Active schema file box, select the custom extension file.

  6. In the last row of the table, find the custom extension file and make sure the value in the Editable? column is Yes. If the value is No, click the cell to switch the value to Yes.

  7. Switch the values in other cells in the Editable? column as necessary to ensure they are all set to No.

  8. Close the Edit Configuration dialog box.

  9. Click File > File Configurations > Save As Configuration to create a new configuration file that will provide the working environment for you to create custom schema objects.

    Do not click Save Configuration as this will replace the delivered configuration file.

    SHARED Tip When prompted, be sure to save the changes made to the custom extension file. Information saved in the configuration file includes a list of the editable files and the name of the active file, but file dependency information is saved in the extension file.

It is best to save the .cfg and schema file to your own custom directory. This means that the relative paths in the .cfg file will no longer point to the delivered schema files. Open the configuration file in a text editing application, and replace the relative paths with full paths.
