Editing the asynchLink element of a linkage options part

A linkage options part describes how a generated EGL program implements calls and transfers and how it accesses files. To edit the part's asynchLink element, do as follows:

1. To open an EGL build file with the EGL build parts editor, do as follows in the Project Explorer:
   1. Right-click on the EGL build file

   2. Select Open With > EGL Build Parts Editor

2. If the Outline view is not displayed, open that view by selecting Show View > Outline from the Window menu.

3. In the Outline view, right-click a linkage options part and click Open. The EGL build parts editor displays the current part declaration.

4. Click the Show AsynchLink Elements button on the editor toolbar.

5. To add a new AsynchLink element, click Add or press the Insert key, and type the Record Name (recordName) or select a record name from the Record Name drop-down list.

6. To change the default linkage type associated with your record name, you can either:
   • Select the corresponding row in the AsynchLink Elements list, then click the Type field (localAsynch, remoteAsynch) once to put the field into edit mode. Select the new linkage type from the Type drop-down list.

   • In the Properties of selected asynchLink elements list, click the type property once to put the Value field associated with that property into edit mode. Select the new linkage type from the Value drop-down list.

7. Other properties associated with your record name are listed in the Properties of selected asynchLink elements list based on the linkage type. To change the value of one of these properties, select the record name. In the Properties of selected aynchLink elements list, click the property you want to define once to put the Value field associated with that property into edit mode. Define the new value by selecting an option in the Value drop-down list, or by typing the new value in the Value field. For some properties, you can only select an option in a drop-down list. For other properties, you can only type a value in the Value field.

8. Modify the asynchLink elements list as needed:
   • To reposition an asynchLink element, select an element and click either Move Up or Move Down.

   • To remove an asynchLink element, select an element and click Remove or press the Delete key.
