Configure a Dictionary to Update Automatically

If the source file used for a dictionary is modified frequently, configure the dictionary so that it is updated automatically when the import file changes. This means that each time that content is opened by Transformation Server,, the source dictionary is checked for modifications. If any changes are present, your local copy is updated to match the source dictionary.

You can configure a dictionary to update automatically by following these steps:

  1. On the Project tab, in the Configuration group, select Project Settings Project Settings icon.
  2. Click the Dictionaries tab to view the dictionary settings.
  3. Select the dictionary to be modified.
  4. Click Properties.

    The Dictionary Options window is displayed.

  5. In the Dictionary Options window, select the Automatic update from import file option.
  6. Click OK to save the changes on the Dictionary Options window.
  7. Optionally, click OK to close the Project Settings window.
  8. Save the changes to your project.
