    Add usenet statment on first line of script unit. The following allows access to code in Purchasing.sj. Please mark as solution if this solves your problem.

     

    //USEUNIT Purchasing

    Here's the starting point within the documentation for the script extensions. http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/69987/

     

    You've already done the hard part: writing your code.  All you need to do is write up the XML file, and package it all up.  You'll need to rename your unit files to .js from .sj.  Please, please, please remember that you cannot call other script extensions from with your script extension, and you cannot call back to your project from the script extension. 

     

    Here's the link for the description.xml structure: http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/68445/

     

    When you've got the files ready, just zip them up and put the zip package in the ScriptExtensions folder with a .tcx extension.

    Hi William i didn't get what exactly you are saying. i have already tried below one, but it didnot work:

     

    In TestProject2(pjs file), -> under script Unit1:

    'UseUnit WrapperFunction

     

    In this case it is still asking for adding scripts (Unit1,23) using Add -> existing item. Idea here is to avoid adding the scripts(unit1, Unit2 and Unit3 from TestProject1 again in current project - TestProject2).

     

    Hope you got it.

     

    please refer the attachment for more details.

      USEUNITS are not "inheritied".  You still need to include all the files you want to reference, and all the flies those files may reference in any project you use.  Unit1, Unit2, and Unit3 will be needed in your new project if you want to reference the WrapperFunctions you created.

        Hi will_fetherrolf,

        Thanks a lot for your support. i have tried the approach you mentioned (In current project2, adding the existing 3 script units (Unit1,Unit2,Unit3 - part of Project1) so that we could get the 3 script units available in Project2 also and shown as reference script units). I am able to access the methods of above script units now without any problem.

        But here the problem is User(Project2) could also see the implementation details of Project1 units (Unit1,Unit2,Unit3), and could modify them also which will affect Project1 it turn. Either we need to hide the implemention details of 3 units or we need to restrict the user to modify the units. Please suggest me if we have any such solutions.

         

        Thanks,

        Jayakoti
