Creating and Using Vendor Defined Attributes

		Creating and Using Vendor Defined Attributes
		Vendor Defined Attributes (VDAs) are optional but can be useful in
		providing additional information about a software package. A VDA may
		be created for any software element in the PSF. VDAs are noted during
		packaging modification with the swmodify command. You can list any
		attribute with the swlist command.
		To create a vendor defined attribute
Step	1.	In the Package Structure, select the software element for which you
		want to create a VDA.
Step	2.	From the main menu, select Attributes > Vendor Defined Attributes.
		The Vendor Defined Attributes dialog displays.
Step	3.	Enter an Attribute Name.
Step	4.	Enter the associated Attribute Value.
Step	5.	Repeat Steps 3 and 4 until you have added all the VDAs you require.
Step	6.	Click OK.
		The VDA displays at the bottom of the Attribute Table for the selected
		software element.
		To edit a vendor defined attribute
		Once you have created a VDA, you can edit the attribute value as you
		would any other attribute within the Attribute Table:
Step	1.	From the main menu, navigate to Attributes > Vendor Defined
		Attributes.
Step	2.	From the Vendor Defined Attribute dialog box, you perform the
		following tasks:

•Edit a VDA name.

•Delete a VDA.

•Arrange a VDAs order of appearance in the Attribute Table.
