Edit MAR Info Files

The MAR info editor lets you change the information that was specified during the creation of the MAR info file.

The editor includes an optimize check box. By default, the check box is selected. When the MAR file is built, only those project files that the primary asset requires are added. However, the editor lets you specify that an optimized MAR file include one or more nonrequired project files.

If you clear the optimize check box, then all the project files are added to the MAR file.

To edit MAR info files:

1. In the Project panel of DevTest Workstation, double-click the MAR info file.

   The editor opens.

   The information that you can edit in the upper area depends on the type of MAR info file.

2. In the Notes area, add any notes about the MAR info file.
3. Select or clear the optimize check box.

   If you want the MAR to include all of the project files, then clear the optimize check box. The Files to Include and Files to Exclude areas are disabled.

   Note: An archive is typically held in memory. Therefore, the use of optimized archives is highly encouraged. This check box is selected by default.

4. If you want the MAR to include any nonrequired project files, then move the files to the Files to Include area.

   The Files to Include area lists the required project files. The Files to Exclude area lists the nonrequired project files.

5. From the main menu, select File, Save.
