be created with their original names, but they are dummy. So, they should be
modified afterwards to make process objects work properly. The Import Exceptions
dialog informs about created objects.
The Save Datalog Values option can be toggled on/off, depending whether the user
wants to store the datalog values during the import operation. Default value is off.
The Preimport Activities and Postimport Activities options can be toggled on/off
depending on whether the user wants to execute activities just before and after the
proper import. Pre- and postimport definition tools are started from menu Tools —>
Preimport ... and Tools —> Postimport ... . A pre/postimport command procedure/
SCIL file is executed by DO function. In postimport an argument in DO function
call is a list which includes all imported predefined process objects. The list is in
form list(LN, IX), where the vector attribute LN includes logical names and IX
indexes. The second argument passed in function call is the number of the
application, where objects are imported into. Import tool assumes that procedures/
SCIL files return the status of operation. If preimport fails, a notice dialog with
status will be raised to ask whether to do the actual import or not. If preimport (or
postimport) totally fails (syntax error, etc.), the standard error dialog will be raised
and import will be interrupted.
3.2. Searching strings
The Search Tool is used for searching strings in objects and files. The tool can
search strings through command procedure and data objects, text files, pictures and
Visual SCIL Object files (VSO files). The Search Tool can be opened through the
Object Navigator. The input for the tool is selected object types in the Object
Navigator. If objects or files are also selected, they act as targets for the search. The
search type, target names and other search conditions are saved in the SEARCH.INI
parameter file , when the tool is closed. The Search Tool can also act as a stand-
alone tool and be opened through the Tool Manager.
3.2.1. Opening and exiting Search tool
Select Data > Search in Object Navigator to open the Search Tool. Before opening
the Search Tool, the object types can be selected in the Object Navigator. These
objects act as an input for the Search Tool. If no object type is selected, Text file
search is default. If objects or files are also selected, they act as targets for the
search. In Fig. 3.2.1.-1 the first four command procedures of the external
application are selected for search in the Object Navigator.
The Search Tool can also be opened as a stand-alone tool from the Tool Manager's
Miscellaneous tab.
