| <description>Because the plug-ins shipped with the method library are locked and read-only, all your changes, additions, and extensions to existing method content and processes have to be placed in your own method plug-ins. However, you can use various capabilities to logically merge your plug-in contents into other plug-ins allowing you, as a result, to publish extended methods and processes that seamlessly incorporate your method elements. To create your own method plug-ins follow these steps.</description> |
