Elements and Attributes of a Catalog XML File

Catalog File	Attribute	Valid Type	Function of the XML Attribute Type
Register	Path= “8_hyperview/Neuber/tasks”	user-defined	Specifies the folder where the task files resides. This is a relative path from where the catalog file is placed. In this example the task folder is located in the directory 8_hyperview/Neuber/tasks relative to the catalog file. Note: The catalog file hwwftrainingcatalog.xml is at the same level as 8_hyperview, and the tasks folder is located under 8_hyperview/neuber/.
Domain	name= “Demo”	user-defined	Provides a directory level to categorize a group of tasks. An example of domain is Durabity or NVH. In this example the Name is Demo.
Group	name= “HyperView”	user-defined	Provides a directory level to categorize a group of tasks under Domain. An example of Group under Durability would be Signal Processing. In this example the Name is “HyperView”
Category	name= “Neuberisation”	user-defined	Provides a logical grouping and display of tasks under Category. An example Category under Durability / Signal Processing is “Math” which would contain all the math tasks related to Durability such as rainflow, peak valley extraction, and so on. In this example the name defined is “Neuberisation”.
Task	name= “Neuber”	Task defined in the .tsk file	References the attribute name as defined in the task (.tsk) file.
Datatype	Name= ”Demo::DemoResult”	user-defined	Assigns a default value to the variable. In this example the variable name is assigned a default value of “ADD”.
	Path= ”8_hyperview/Neuber/process/Neuberisation.prs”	user-defined	Specifies the path where the process file resides. This is a relative path from where the catalog file is placed. In this example the process file is placed in 8_hyperview/Neuber/process/Neuberisation.prs relative to the catalog file. Note: The catalog file hwwftrainingcatalog.xml is at the same level as 8_hyperview, and the process file is under 8_hyperview/Neuber/process/Neuberisation.prs.
Datatype	Name= ”Neuberisation”	user-defined	This is the name displayed in the process browser.
	Path= ”8_hyperview/Neuber/datatypes/Results.tcl”	string int double	Specifies the path where the datatype file resides. This is a relative path from where the catalog file is placed. In this example the process file is placed 8_hyperview/Neuber/datatypes/Results.tcl relative to catalog file. Note: The catalog file hwwftrainingcatalog.xml is at the same level as 8_hyperview, and the datatype file is under 8_hyperview/Neuber/datatypes/Results.tcl.
