Step 5. Generate the Plug-in

Step 5. Generate the Plug-in

After you have the definition file and icons, you can create the plug-in. Use the mmXConPluginUtil command line program to create the plug-in.
To generate the plug-in, run the mmXConPluginUtil generatePlugin command with the definition file (-x) option. mmXConPluginUtil generates the plug-in as an XConnect archive (XAR) file. It generates the plug-in in the following directory, where the owner and name are defined in the plug-in definition file:
<Informatica services installation directory>\services\MetadataManagerService\utilities\mmxconpluginutil\<owner>.<name>
mmXConPluginUtil names the plug-in
mm-<owner>.<name>-xconnect.xar
.
For example, in the plug-in definition file, you set the owner element to HypoStores and the name element to QlikView. You run the following command to generate the plug-in:
mmXConPluginUtil generatePlugin -x C:\MMPlugInDefs\HypoStores_QlikViewDef.xml
mmXConPluginUtil generates the following plug-in:
<Informatica services installation directory>\services\MetadataManagerService\utilities\mmxconpluginutil\HypoStores.QlikView\mm-HypoStores.QlikView-xconnect.xar
