Projects

This documentation describes Design Server projects.

Importing and exporting
A project organizes related artifacts (connections and actions, schemas, maps, and files) in the Design Server repository. The import and export functions move projects or individual artifacts between the repository and the local file system. By using the import and export functions, you can reuse artifacts in multiple projects or move a project between multiple instances of Design Server.
Connections and actions
A connection defines the properties that are required to connect to an external resource. An action uses a connection to provide source data to a map, or to write data from a map to a target.
Files
You add a file to a project to use it as input to maps in the project. You can upload a file from your local file system to a project with the File designer. Alternatively, you can upload it when you define an action.
