Preferences
From the Edit menu, select Preferences. The Preferences dialog box is displayed.
This dialog box enables you to set the runtime configuration of Deployment Tool.
- Open the General folder if it's not already open.
- Enter the temporary directory location. If no location is specified, the
system temporary directory is used and stores the files in this temporary
location. In addition, a Project and a Temp ClassLoader sub directory is created within the
temporary directory. You can delete the files under the Project and ClassLoader
sub directory without any adverse affects. When you exit Deployment Tool, it attempts to
cleanup these Project and ClassLoader sub directories, but is sometimes unable to do so because the directories may be locked. You can delete these files
which does not cause any adverse affects.
- Check the Show abbreviated Deployment Manager URI in tree checkbox to
show the short version of the Deployment Manager name under the Servers node. For example,
"localhost:4848". Unchecking the box would display the longer version of the
Deployment Manager name under the Servers node. For example,
"deployer:Sun:AppServer::localhost:4848"
- If you try to deploy/redeploy an application/stand-alone module
which has unsaved changes, a confirmation dialog will ask you if you wish
to 'Save and Deploy' or 'Cancel Deployment'. If you do not want to be
asked to 'Save and Deploy' everytime you deploy an application with
unsaved changes, check the Don't ask me again to save and deploy checkbox.
Unsaved applications/modules will be saved automatically upon deployment.
- If you want to see the splash screen everytime you start Deployment Tool,
check the Show Splash Screen checkbox in the Startup folder.
- If you want the tree to display any modules it was displaying during your last Deployment Tool session,
check the Restore previously opened modules checkbox in the Startup folder..
- To edit the runtime configuration properties click on the Properties button
at the bottom of the Edit Preferences dialog.
- In the Deployment Managers folder, you can add and delete Deployment Manager
URIs and set the current target server.
