Setting up the environment

Plan and prepare the development environment before you start working with Application Designer.

Procedure

  1. Establish separate environments for the following activities to protect your development environment against configuration changes you make.
    1. Perform development activities on a dedicated workstation.
    2. Merge your configurations to a server for testing.
    3. Migrate the tested configurations to the production environment.
  2. Set the screen resolution of your monitor to 1280x768 to optimize the amount of information that you can see without scrolling.
    With this screen resolution, it is easier to position the Control Palette and Properties windows outside of the application workspace where you perform configurations.
