Configuring connections to NonStop systems
NSDEE provides one place where you can define how you want to connect to NonStop systems
when you transfer files or deploy build results to NonStop systems, or when you launch applications
on NonStop systems from NSDEE; that place is the Network Connections preferences page.
Using Network Connections preferences, you can create named connection configurations in the
form system_name_or_IP (user_ID_or_alias). For each named configuration you can specify your
preferred connection protocols (SSH/SFTP or Telnet/FTP) and also configure protocol-specific
options. You can then select those connection configurations when, for example, you create a
project and specify where you want build results deployed or where you want SQL compiles to
occur.
To create a connection configuration, perform the following steps:
1.
Open the preferences for connectivity:
a.
Select Window > Preferences to open the Preferences dialog box.
b.
Expand the NonStop Development node on the left side of the Preferences dialog.
c.
Select the Network Connections entry under the NonStop Development node you just
expanded.
TIP:
A shortcut is to simply select Configure Connections... from the NonStop menu.
2.
Enter a system name or IP address in the System: field.
3.
Enter a NonStop user ID or alias in the User name: field.
4.
Choose your preferred protocol by selecting either the SSH/SFTP or Telnet/FTP radio button.
5.
Select the Settings... button to the right of the radio button for your preferred protocol, but only
if you need to make any adjustments to default settings for the protocol you choose. This will
open a Settings dialog specific to your preferred protocol. For details on Settings dialogs, see
6.
Select the Connect button to ensure that you can establish a connection to the NonStop system
you specified. You will be prompted for a password before the connection completes.
Select OK to save the connection configuration and close the Preferences dialog.
NOTE:
NSDEE provides the Connect button so you can test new connection configurations.
Usually you won't need to use the Configure Connections dialog or its Connect button to
establish connections. NSDEE will establish connections as needed as you work.
7.
If you need to specify multiple connection configurations, reopen the Network Connections
preferences and select the Add/Remove... button. For details, see
Creating projects
Projects provide a way for you to organize and build applications in NSDEE. Before creating a
project, you need to decide which type of project best suits your needs: a makefile (unmanaged)
project or a managed project.
The makefile project is the simplest type of project provided by NSDEE. Makefile projects build
your application using a makefile provided by you. Since you are providing the makefile, makefile
projects are ideal for use with an existing code base that already builds using existing makefiles.
NSDEE supports makefile projects for both local Windows-hosted builds and for remote builds on
a NonStop server.
If you are creating a new application or have an application for which you do not have a makefile,
then you can use a project for which NSDEE creates makefiles and manages your builds. Managed
projects are available only for local Windows-hosted builds. This section provides examples of
how to create makefile and managed projects from scratch or using an existing code base.
