<h3>Configuring the API metadata file data source properties</h3>
|
|
|
11 |
<p>Using the API metadata file data source from an SDK is a good option, for example, for cases when you have network restrictions for using the Web data source option. This data source only requires a suitable SDK to be present.</p>
|
|
|
12 |
<p>To configure the API metadata file data source, do the following:</p>
|
|
|
13 |
<ol>
|
|
|
14 |
<li>On the <b>Properties</b> tab, select <b>API Metadata files from the SDK</b> from the <b>Data Source</b> drop-down list.
|
|
|
15 |
<p><img src="screenshots\sdk_data_source_properties.png"></p></li>
|
|
|
16 |
<li>
|
|
|
17 |
From the listbox, select an SDK from your local workstation.To aid selection ,cached/uncached information is displayed against each sdk.
|
|
|
18 |
<p>With applicable SDKs, API Query starts seeking for the existing <i>.metaxml</i> files from the SDK.</p>
|
|
|
19 |
<p>If you have problems with the SDK, see the <a href="#tips">Tips and hints</a> below for more information. </p>
|
|
|
20 |
|
|
|
21 |
</li>
|
|
|
22 |
</ol>
|
|
|
23 |
<p>Next, you can start an API query either from the <b>Search</b> tab or from the context menu of your project. For instructions, see the <i>Tasks</i> section in the Table of Contents in API Query Help.</p>
