Working with Projects and Implementations Chapter 4. Tasks
Copying Implementations
To create a new implementation that is a copy of an existing implementation,
1. In the Projects View , select ( activate ) the implementation to be copied
2. Select the Create Implementation ( ) toolbar button in the Projects View
3. In the pop-up Create Implementation dialog ,
(a) type in the name of the new implementation
(b) check the Copy Option Values from Active Implementation checkbox
(c) select the Finish button
After clicking Finish, the new implementation now appears under the selected project in the Projects view.
The new implementation is set to be the
active implementation and contains implementation options values
copied from the source implementation. A new implementation directory structure is also created under
the project directory if it does not already exist.
Setting the Active Implementation
To change the active implementation in the GUI, do one of the following:
• Single-click on an implementation in the Projects view, activating the selected implementation.
• Single-click on a project in the Projects view, activating the selected project’s first implementation.
Changing the active implementation causes the flow status to be cleared and changes the target for all flow
operations to the new active implementation.
Removing Implementations
To remove an implementation from a project in the workspace:
1. Select an implementation in the Projects view.
2. Click on the Delete toolbar button ( ) in the Projects view.
After clicking Delete, the implementation no longer appears in the Projects view. Removing an
implementation from a project causes all settings for the implementation to be deleted from the project
file once the project is saved.
Configuring Implementation Options
To configure implementation options in the workspace:
1. Select an implementation in the Projects view , changing the active implementation to the selection.
2. In the Options view , use the controls to configure the available implementation options for the active
implementation.
After changing implementation options in the Options view , the flow status is cleared. A change to an
implementation option requires the flow to be re-run for that implementation in order for the changes to
affect the results of the flow. The changes to the implementation options are not saved until the affected
project is saved.
Opening Output Files in an Editor
To open an output file in the editor area, double-click on the output file in the Projects view. The output file
now appears in a text editor in the editor area.
Note: Editing an output file is not recommended.
