Configuring the Menus - Teradata Schema Workbench

The Tools and Help menus are defined in a file called Teradata Schema Workbench.exe.config, located in C:\Program Files\Teradata\Client\15.10\Teradata Schema Workbench\bin on 32-bit machines and in C:\Program Files (x86)\Teradata\Client\15.10\Teradata Schema Workbench\bin on 64-bit machines. This XML configuration file can be modified with any text editor.

The Help menu options are listed within HelpMenu, between the opening and closing Links XML tags. The Tools menu options are listed within ToolsMenu, between the opening and closing Apps XML tags. To add an option, insert an add XML tag, and provide information for the key and value attributes: <add key="" value ="" />.

The content of these sections corresponds with the contents of the Tools and Help menus. The key attribute is the label that appears in the menu, and the value attribute is the target for the link or program that opens when the user clicks the item. To launch new applications or reference websites from the menus, the items need to be added between these tags as a key-value pair. The following shows an example of the default HelpMenu and ToolsMenu code.

<HelpMenu>
 <Links>
  <add key="OLE DB for OLAP Standard" value="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms717005(VS.85).aspx"/>
  <add key="MSAS2000 MDX Reference" value="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa216775(SQL.80).aspx"/>
