How can I add my own custom icons to IXIA CCMS?

Description

I would like to add some custom icons.

Solution

Create a 16 x 16 pixels icon, commit it to TEXTML Server, and associate it to the object.

To add an icon:

1. In the TEXTML Administration perspective, go to system/conf/icons.
2. Right-click the icons folder and select Insert Documents.
3. Click Add File, select your new icon, and click OK.
4. Browse to system/conf.
5. Right-click equivalence.xml and click Check Out.
6. Double-click equivalence.xml to open it in the XML editor.
7. Depending on what you want to do, either edit an existing entry or add a new one. For example, if you wanted to change the icon for maps, make the following edits:

   <equivalence type="map"> 
   <object type="map" icon="/system/conf/icons/NewMap-icon.png"/>  
   <object type="ixiamap"/> 
   <object type="bookmap" icon="/system/conf/icons/Bookmap-icon.png"/>  
   </equivalence>

8. Save the equivalence.xml file.
9. Right-click equivalence.xml and then click Check In.
10. Inform users of the changes and request that they close and reopen their IXIA CCMS Desktop to apply the changes.
