Creating a pattern instance

Create resources from the pattern.

1. On the Pattern Specification tab page that opens, click Create New Instance.
2. Enter the name appropriate to the instance that you’re creating and click OK.
   You cannot use the following names:

   • The name of an existing project in the current workspace.
   • On Windows only, MS-DOS device driver names. For more information, see the article on the Microsoft support site: MS-DOS device driver names cannot be used as file names.
   The Pattern parameters page opens.
3. Add your parameters in fields that are provided and click Next until you get to the final page.
   The green tick confirms that all the mandatory configuration is complete.
4. Click Generate and your instance is created.
   You are taken to the Application Development view and your pattern instance and application folders with created resources are shown.

   If you created other pattern instances previously and they are not showing, click the last icon with the vertical three dots on the Application Development view toolbar, then click Deselect working set to see all your patterns and application folders.

   You can use the Working set options to focus on one pattern you are working with.

   You can now use the resources in your application folder to deploy your solution.

5. Optional: Alternatively, start from the Patterns Explorer view to create a pattern instance. You can see which patterns are installed next to the pattern name in the Patterns Repositories folder. If a pattern is not installed, you can right click the pattern and click Download and install.
6. Optional: Under the Patterns folder, find the newly installed pattern, right click it and then click Create New Instance.
   You can now create your instance by completing steps 3. and 4.
