Use the list of trace log IDs to customize a perspective

By default, when you enable the trace log, you get IDs for the Startup and DITA perspectives. To get the IDs for another perspective, you must add it to the eclipseui.xml configuration file.

Note: In a dedicated SaaS deployment, submit a support ticket to request that IXIA CCMS Customer Support perform this task for you.

To use the list of trace log IDs to customize a perspective:

  1. Click the TEXTML Administration shortcut on the toolbar to open the TEXTML Administration perspective or take the following actions:
    1. Select Window > Perspective > Open Perspective > Other
    2. Click TEXTML Administration.
    3. Click Open.
  2. In the TEXTML Administration view, double-click the server.
  3. If your server is not in the view, add it by taking the following actions:
    1. To find the server name, click Window > Preferences and select IXIA CCMS.
      In the TEXTML Server Connection section, the server name is the Hostname.
    2. Copy the Hostname and close the Preferences window.
    3. In the TEXTML Administration view, right-click and select Add Server.
    4. In the Server field, enter the server name.
      The Port field fills automatically. If it does not and you need the port number, you can find it in the same place as the server name in the Preferences window.
    5. Click OK.
  4. When the Connect as dialog opens, type your username and password and click OK.
  5. Double-click the name of your Content Store to open a connection to it.
  6. Expand the Content Store's Repository node and browse to /system/conf to locate the eclipseui.xml file.
  7. Right-click eclipseui.xml and select Check Out.
  8. Open the file in an XML editor.
  9. For the perspective that you want to customize, add the following code:
    <perspective id="perspective_ID">
       <section id="menu">
       </section>
       <section id="submenu">
       </section>
       <section id="oxygenpopup">
       </section>
       <section id="oxygenactionbar">
       </section>
       <section id="panels">
       </section>
       <section id="views">
       </section>
       <section id="com.ixiasoft.dita.eclipse.gui.views.map.MapView">
       </section>
       <section id="com.ixiasoft.dita.eclipse.gui.views.sidebar.SearchGuiMiniBar">
       </section>
       <section id="com.ixiasoft.dita.eclipse.gui.views.sidebar.sidebar">
       </section>
       <section id="com.ixiasoft.dita.eclipse.gui.views.sidebar.SideBarResults">
       </section>
       <section id="com.ixiasoft.dita.eclipse.gui.views.job.JobView">
       </section>
       <section id="toolbar">
       </section>
    </perspective>
    Where perspective_ID is the ID of the perspective.
    If you do not know what the ID of the perspective is, run IXIA CCMS with the trace log enabled and open the perspective. The log will display the ID of the perspective.
    For example, to get the IDs for the RelTable Editing perspective, enter:
    <perspective id="com.ixiasoft.dita.eclipse.gui.perspective.DitaRelationshipPerspective">
       <section id="menu">
       </section>
       <section id="submenu">
       </section>
       <section id="oxygenpopup">
       </section>
       <section id="oxygenactionbar">
       </section>
       <section id="panels">
       </section>
       <section id="views">
       </section>
       <section id="com.ixiasoft.dita.eclipse.gui.views.map.MapView">
       </section>
       <section id="com.ixiasoft.dita.eclipse.gui.views.sidebar.SearchGuiMiniBar">
       </section>
       <section id="com.ixiasoft.dita.eclipse.gui.views.sidebar.sidebar">
       </section>
       <section id="com.ixiasoft.dita.eclipse.gui.views.sidebar.SideBarResults">
       </section>
       <section id="com.ixiasoft.dita.eclipse.gui.views.job.JobView">
       </section>
       <section id="toolbar">
       </section>
    </perspective>
  10. Save and check in the file.
  11. Inform users of the changes and ask them to close and reopen their CCMS Desktop to apply the changes.
The perspective customization is saved and available to users, once they apply the changes.
