Deprecate conditional attribute values

You can deprecate conditional attribute values so that they no longer appear in the IXIA CCMS Desktop dialogs when you apply conditions.

This can be useful if your deployment has a large number of conditional attributes and some of them are no longer used.

Important: Make configuration changes in a test environment and confirm they work before copying them to a production environment.
  1. In the TEXTML Administration perspective, connect to your server.
  2. Locate the conditionaltext.xml file in the repository.
  3. Check out the file and open it for editing.
  4. Set the deprecated="true" attribute to the <allowedvalue> element of the value to deprecate.
    For example:
    <condtextsettings>    
    <category name="Audience" xmlattribute="audience">
        <allowedvalue>expert</allowedvalue>
        <allowedvalue>novice</allowedvalue>
    </category>
    <category name="Platform" xmlattribute="platform">
        <allowedvalue>linux</allowedvalue>
        <allowedvalue>mac</allowedvalue>
        <allowedvalue deprecated="true">solaris</allowedvalue>
        <allowedvalue>windows</allowedvalue>
    </category>
</condtextsettings>
  5. Save, close, and check in the file.
  6. Inform users of the changes and ask them to close and reopen their CCMS Desktop to apply the changes.
