Modifying Configurations
Configurations are based on the Target Deployment Ports (TDP) that are specified when you create a new project. In fact, a Configuration contains basic Configuration Settings for a given TDP applied to a project, plus any node-specific overridden settings.
Remember that although a project can use multiple Configurations, as well as multiple TDPs, there must always be at least one active Configuration.
When you create a new configuration, the settings are initialized using the default settings of the TDP.
Configuration Settings are a main characteristic of the project and can be individually customized for any single node in the Project Explorer.
To create a new Configuration for a Project:
-
From the Project menu, select Configurations.
-
In the Configurations dialog box, click the New... button.
-
Enter a Name for the Configuration.
-
Select the Target Deployment Port to be used to create the Configuration.
-
Enter the Hostname, Address and Port of the machine on which the Target Deployment Port is to be compiled.
-
Click OK.
-
Click Close.
To remove a Configuration from a Project:
If you choose to remove a Configuration, all custom settings for that Configuration will be lost.
-
From the Project menu, select Configurations.
-
In the Configurations dialog box, select the Configuration to be removed.
-
Click the Remove button.
-
Click Yes to confirm the removal of the Configuration
To copy an existing Configuration:
This can be useful if you want several Configurations, with different custom settings, based on a unique Target Deployment Port.
-
From the Project menu, select Configurations.
-
In the Configurations dialog box, select an existing Configuration.
-
Click the Copy To... button
-
Enter a Name for the new Configuration.
-
Click OK.
