Function Package

A function package installed in the IDE and used in an AWM model extends the model with additional functionality.

All tools to be used in the model must be derived from a function package. Thus, if no function package is installed, you would not be able to define a Tool Type.

A function package can provide the following AWM modeled objects:

Micro Focus provides the following function packages:

Function Package Description
