The Auxiliary Files tab enables you to add any auxiliary files so that they are available for a communication point to use. Examples of auxiliary files are database drivers associated with database communication points, and library JAR files associated with the JMS communication point.
Auxiliary files added through the Auxiliary Files tab are available to the specific communication point immediately, without requiring a Rhapsody restart. Alternatively, the auxiliary file can be placed in the <RhapsodyEngine>/data/lib folder to make it available to all communication points and filters. A Rhapsody restart is required for it to load the new file.
The Auxiliary Files tab also indicates whether the local version of an auxiliary file is identical to, or newer or older than the engine version, or if either version has been deleted or moved and cannot be found.
You can perform the following actions on auxiliary files (including via the right-click menu):
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Add | Select a local auxiliary file and adds it to the engine. A restart is required for Rhapsody to load the new file. |
| Delete | Delete the selected auxiliary file. |
| Download | Update the selected auxiliary file in the engine to match the local version. |
| Open | Open the selected auxiliary file. |
