When a project is in read-only mode, new files cannot be created, since an entry needs to be made in the .gfa file. A message will be presented to the developer.
Each project can have a unique search path that is independent from the search path set on the WebFOCUS Reporting Server.
You can also view project properties, such as file type, location, size, and date of last modification.
The properties dialog box opens, displaying the General, Paths, Edit Filters, Comment, and Deployment tabs.
The General tab is selected by default. It displays the project type, location, size, and date of last modification.
The properties dialog box opens.
The properties dialog box opens.
Make the following modifications to the directory paths:
The properties dialog box opens.
The Filters list box shows the file types associated with the project. You can make the following modifications to the list:
Select a registered file type and click OK.
The properties dialog box opens.
The comment displays as a ToolTip when you hover over the project name in the Explorer. The same applies to the virtual folders.
The properties dialog box opens.
If you select a scenario other than the default scenario (Local Deploy), the Target Application Name field is enabled. This displays the application name to be created in the target deploy environment, or you can enter a new application name that will be used on the web server and WebFOCUS Reporting Server deployment paths.
In the Explorer, the icon for a starting object shows a down arrow, indicating that it will run first.
For details about deployment, see Partitioning and Deploying Project Files.
General Tab
Is the type of project. Developer Studio supplies this value.
Is the path in which the project and its associated files reside. Developer Studio supplies this value.
Is the size of the project in bytes. Developer Studio supplies this value.
Is the date and time the project was last changed. Developer Studio supplies this value.
Read-only prohibits modification to or deletion of a project.
Confirms changes and returns to the Explorer.
Aborts changes and returns to the Explorer.
Temporarily applies changes and keeps the dialog box open. Click Close to apply them permanently.
Paths Tab
Are the directories in the project path. Developer Studio searches the directories in the order in which they appear on the list. Use the Add New Directory, Remove Directory, Move Directory Up, and Move Directory Down buttons to modify directory paths.
Adds a directory to the project search path.
Deletes a directory from the project search path.
Moves a directory up in the project search path.
Moves a directory down in the project search path.
Confirms changes and returns to the Explorer.
Aborts changes and returns to the Explorer.
Temporarily applies changes and keeps the dialog box open. Click Close to apply them permanently.
Edit Filters Tab
Are the file types associated with a project. Use the Add New File Type Filter(s) and Remove File Type Filter(s) buttons to modify the Filters list.
Adds a filter.
Removes a filter.
Confirms changes and returns to the Explorer.
Aborts changes and returns to the Explorer.
Temporarily applies changes and keeps the dialog box open. Click Close to apply them permanently.
Comment Tab

Confirms changes and returns to the Explorer.
Aborts changes and returns to the Explorer.
Temporarily applies changes and keeps the dialog box open. Click Close to apply them permanently.
Deployment Tab
Indicates how to partition the files. Select from the available scenarios in the drop-down list.
If you select a scenario other than the default scenario (Local Deploy), this field is enabled. Otherwise, this field is disabled. Optionally, enter an application name that will be used on the web server and WebFOCUS Reporting Server deployment paths, or accept the default value (the current project name).
If you are deploying files to your development server, you must provide a target application name other than your development directory.
If you are deploying files to a WebFOCUS Reporting Server on z/OS, the target application name can be up to eight characters. For deployment servers on all other supported platforms, the name can be up to 64 characters. Spaces are not allowed. (If a space is entered, it is converted to an underscore.)
Indicates the first component that runs. For a deployed application, the starting object is typically an HTML file. Select from the available objects in the drop-down list.
Deploys only the files that have changed since the last time you deployed the application. This option can significantly increase the speed of deployment.
Ensures that deployment is completed in a case where the project contains an unresolved file. An unresolved file can be any of the following:
Compiles Maintain procedures during deployment. Compilation improves application performance. For more information, see the Developing WebFOCUS Maintain Applications manual.
Reserved for debugging purposes. It can affect performance. For more information, see the Developing WebFOCUS Maintain Applications manual.
Allows the deployment process to include server paths in the Call and Exec statements within Maintain procedures.
Deploys .MNT files with any original form code intact. This option is enabled by default. A decrease in the speed of deployment may be noticed if a project contains many forms.
Select a file type from those registered with the operating system, and click OK to add it to the Filters list on the Edit Filters tab.
