CHA Editor

The CHA Editor provides a graphical and easier way to work with CHA (Common Hierarchical Areas) contexts and their data elements and types. Because they are defined within XML files, it is possible to define, modify, and delete CHA contexts, data elements, and types using any text editor. However, as the number of definitions in the files increases and the CHA structure increases in size and complexity, maintaining a mental picture of the entire CHA structure becomes increasingly difficult. The CHA Editor provides a visual representation of the structure and relieves you of the need to deal with XML tags. This allows you to concentrate on business requirements and issues.

The CHA Editor is a WebSphere(R) Studio Application Developer plug-in that you can run from the Application Developer. It consists of a set of classes and a configuration file for a particular project. The CHA Editor provides a wizard to help you set up the configuration file and default XML definition files.
