Creating a custom server component in EAServer

You can install and configure a custom Web DataWindow server component in EAServer Manager. In this procedure, you create a custom version of the EAServer server component with custom properties preset in EAServer Manager.

1. In the left pane of EAServer Manager, under the server name, right-click Packages and select New Package from the pop-up menu.

2. In the New Package dialog box, type a package name (you cannot change it later) and click Create A New Package.

   For example, use EmpListPkg to identify a package for an application called EmpList.

3. On the General tab of the Package Properties dialog box, enter a description of the package and click OK.

   For example, enter DataWindow Components for EmpList app to describe EmpListPkg in terms of the application that you are customizing it for.

4. In the left pane of EAServer Manager, under the server name, right-click the new package and choose Install Component from the pop-up menu.

5. In the wizard, choose the Define New Component radio button and click Next.

6. Specify the name of your custom component (you cannot change it later) and click Finish.

   For example, use EmpListDW to identify a component that uses the d_emplist DataWindow object.
