Add the Customized Form Types to the Database

After you convert the form definition files (HFD) files in the form reference directory to XML format and edit the XML files to use JavaScript, you must add the customized form types to the database. The hformsync command-line utility lets you add the customized form types to the database.

Follow these steps:

1. At the command prompt, navigate to the %AllUsersProfile%\Application Data\CA\SCM\Forms directory.
2. Run the hformsync command, select the -f option, and any additional option. For example:

   hformsync -b brokername -usr harvest -pw harvest -d path of the forms folder -f xml file
   

   Note: For more information about the hformsync command, including a description of all command options, see the Command Line Reference Guide.

   All customized form types in XML format are added to the CA Harvest SCM database and will display in the Workbench and Web Interface.
