Add a new processing extension to the ProcessingExtensions collection.

Syntax

Function Add(
    Name As String, 
    Path As String, 
    Description As String) 
    As ProcessingExtension Object

Parameters

Name

The name of the processing extension. This is a display name and not the name of the processing extension.

Path

The path to the processing extension. Include the file name in this path, but not the file extension.

Description

The description of the processing extension. Use this parameter to add additional information about the processing extension.

Remarks

Before you can apply a processing extension to a report, you must know its name and location. For information on creating a processing extension and copying it to (or sharing it amongst) the appropriate servers, see the Processing Extension API Reference.

The Path parameter should include the file name of your processing extension, along with any additional path information:

• If you copied your processing extension into the default directory on each of the appropriate machines, just enter the file name (but not the file extension).
• If you copied your processing extension to a subfolder below the default directory, enter the location as: subfolder/filename

Note:    Although the actual file name must include the.dll or.so extension (as appropriate to the server's operating system), you must not include the file extension in Path parameter.
