Protected Link Source Objects

CimEdit provides you with a powerful capability to create protected linked source objects. Protected links contain the properties of the source object.

However, a protected link user will not be able to

  • View or decompose the source code or configuration.
  • Break the link.
  • Change the absolute/static path specification.

You create these links by saving them to a runtime-only screen ( .cimrt ) and distributing that screen for use instead of the editable ( .cim ) screen.
