How to Edit an OSD File
Use the following procedures to modify a sequenced application package's Open Software Descriptor (OSD) file by adding or deleting an element or an attribute.
Note Some elements do not have an attribute, so it is not possible to add an attribute to every element.
Important If you use the OSD editor to change the .sft file name, the HREF attribute of the CODEBASE element in the OSD file, you must use the Save As command to save the change to the project files.
