This dialog displays the current versions of the type file, functional profile file, and
the language files (File Name for the language file will contain the name of the

language file for the language currently selected as the active language; see Setting
Resource Editor Options
, earlier in this chapter, for more information). The format

file does not contain versioning information and is not listed.

3. Set the major and minor version numbers for each of these files. The files may have

differing minor versions, but use the same major version number for all files in a

resource file set to simplify configuration management. Once you have set the
version information, click OK. You will be returned to the resource file generation

confirmation dialog.

4. Click Yes to generate resource files. The new resource files will be placed in the

directory indicated by the resource file catalog. If you do not wish to generate

resource files at this time click Cancel. If you wish to revert to the most recently
generated version of the resource files, click No (this will cancel all changes you have

made using the resource editor since the last time resource files were generated).

Resource Reports

You can create a resource report that contains a summary of all the resources in a

resource file set, or in multiple resource file sets. You can use a resource report during
development as a reference guide for your resource definitions. You can also define

supplementary documentation that is automatically included in your resource report.

See types.lonmark.org and http://types.echelon.com for two examples of resource reports.
WARNING: The resource report generator is included as an unsupported component of

the NodeBuilder Resource Editor. It has not undergone the same level of testing as the
remainder of the Resource Editor. However, you may find it to be a useful aid to your

product development.
To start the Resource Report Generator, right-click the resource you wish to report and
then click Report on the shortcut menu.
