Setting Properties for the SAI Editor

Opening the SAI Editor Options Dialog Box

To open the SAI Editor Options dialog box, click the SAI Editor Options button on the toolbar on the Editor tab.

The General Tab

The General tab enables you to set the following options:

• Show ID Column

  Checking this option will display an ID column in all the tabs. IDs are assigned to each entry in the User SAI. When you copy or create an entry, a new ID is assigned to that entry.

• Hide items without files (in read-only SAIs)

  This option provides you with a cleaner view. It hides any entries that are empty—that is, entries that do not have files in them. This option is for the Master SAI only.

• Automatically save modified SAIs on exit

  All modifications made to the User SAIs will be automatically saved when you exit the SAI Editor application.

• Re-enable all error messages

  Checking this option will re-enable all error messages that you have previously disabled.

The SAI List Tab

The options on the SAI List tab enable you to:

• Add a new SAI file to be viewed or edited.
• Remove an existing SAI file.
• Create a new empty User SAI file.

The list box on this tab displays the following information for all currently loaded SAIs:

Column Name	Contents
SAI file	The path to source files for the SAI—both read-only Master SAIs and User SAI files.
SAI ID	The SAI ID number for User SAI files. Master SAI files do not have an ID.
Description	A description of the SAI files.
Size/kB	The size of each SAI file (in kilobytes).
Versions	The number of application versions in each SAI.
Type	The type of SAI file: Master SAI - Read-only SAI User SAI - Editable SAI
Date	The creation date for a Master SAI file or for a User SAI, the date the file was last saved.

Storing Rule-Created Items

Any items encountered by the SAI Editor that were created by rules will be added to the SAI file specified in the SAIs used to store rule-created items box. These rules are present within the SAI files themselves. You can add more rules by using the SAI Editor.

To specify the SAI file used to store rules that you create:

Select the SAI file from the drop-down list. The drop-down list contains a list of the SAIs currently loaded.

If this field is left blank, the SAI Editor will create a file called Auto.zsai and put this in the same location as the first Master SAI.

For information about application teaching using rules, see Rule-Based Application Teaching.

Adding a New SAI File for Application Recognition

In addition to any SAI files already listed on the SAI List tab in the SAI Options dialog box, you can specify one or more other SAI files to use for application recognition.

To add a new SAI file for application recognition:

1. In the SAI Editor Options dialog box, select the SAI List tab.
2. Click the Add button on this tab.
3. Navigate to and select the SAI file (Master or User) that you want to load.

The SAI file is added to the list box which means the file will be included in the SAI Editor ready for you to view or edit.

Removing an Existing SAI File

You can remove any of the SAI files listed on the SAI List tab in the SAI Options dialog box. When you remove an SAI file, it is no longer available in the SAI Editor.

To remove an existing SAI file:

1. In the SAI Editor Options dialog box, select the SAI List tab.
2. In the list box, select the SAI file that you want to remove.
3. Click the Remove button.

Creating a New Empty User SAI

By using the SAI Options dialog box, you can create a new and empty User SAI file. This file will then be available for editing in the SAI Editor.

To create a new empty User.zsai file:

1. In the SAI Editor Options dialog box, select the SAI List tab.
2. Click the Create button. The Create a User SAI dialog box opens.
3. Enter or navigate to the directory where the SAI file is to be created.
4. Enter a description for the file.

5. Click the OK button.

   The file is automatically assigned a unique ID. However, you may already have an SAI with the same filename. If so, a confirmation message will be displayed. If this happens, choose one of the following options:

   1. Click Yes if you want to overwrite the existing SAI file.
   2. Click No to return to the dialog box and assign a new ID to the SAI file.

6. If you have made modifications to the cfgNextSAIID setting in the Analysis Workbench.ini file, you may see the following message:

   The next User SAI ID cannot be found in the settings file.

   This probably means that you are using User SAIs created with a different version of the software, or created on a different machine.

   Please take care to set the new ID to a value that is unique across your organization.

   This may happen when the value for the ID in the Analysis Workbench.ini file is missing or lower than the highest ID in the user SAIs currently loaded. This message is for information only—the Universal Discovery components will correct this situation automatically by inserting the correct ID value into the Analysis Workbench.ini file.
