Abstract
Accessing a legacy target file with a potentially corrupting development tool, where the target file is characterized by its attributes, and the development tool is characterized by its tool capabilities, including the capability to return the target file with changed attributes. Protecting target file attributes is accomplished by limiting development tool access to the target file if development tool capabilities mismatch target file attributes. This is achieved by determining target file attributes from a source of target file attribute information. The determination of access is done by matching target file attributes to tool capabilities and granting development tool access to the target file if there is a match of target file attributes and tool capabilities, and denying or limiting access if there is a mismatch. A further step is assigning a registration permission key tool to the development tool if the development tool capabilities match the target file attributes.
