File Definition Maintenance Overview

Your installer defines and creates standard Eclipse files during system installation.

Use the File Definition Maintenance screen to do the following:

Create User-Defined Files - Create and integrate user-defined database files with standard Eclipse files. Use these files to add unique functionality to the system. For example, create a user-defined file to record additional customer information, such as each customer's favorite sport.
Set Maintenance Logging Parameters - Set up the maintenance logging parameters and activate maintenance logging. Maintenance logs track changes made to files, but maintenance logging must be activated first before file changes are recorded.
Edit File Definition Parameters - View or edit the file definition parameters used for indexing the file, sorting the file for display lists, and updating the file.
