Using multiple Development Configurations

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am runningn NWDS 7.0.0.6 and I want to configure multipe Development Configurations because I have to connect to serveral NWDIs (to differenct customers).

Any Idea?

Kind regards

We have two installations of NWDI, so we have NWDS installed on two different VM slices. Similarly, you can think of something like that....

Currently we have 4 VM slices.

With a single NWDS instance, you can only import a single development configuration.

hi,

so what would be the solution? Installing serveral NWDS and changing the place where all the config files are stored?

Kind regards

With a single NWDS instance you <b>can</b> actually import multiple development configurations, not just one. If you want to import configurations from different NWDI servers, you would have to switch the Development Configuration Pool settings under Window -> Preferences -> Java Development Infrastructure to point to the other NWDI's SLD.

The biggest problem with the current releases of NWDS is however that they cannot use multiple sets of credentials for logging on to these development configurations: You can only log on to configs of multiple NWDI servers if you have the same userid and password on these servers.

Note that the Development Configuration Pool setting is only used when you want to import configurations, it is not used during the log on process.
