You must create a content Profile when you start the Developer for the first time to identify the folder location on your computer where your content is stored. The folder location must be on your local computer and cannot be on a network drive. You must also have enough disk space to accommodate your content.

 

Note: If you receive a Proxy Authentication dialog box when you log in to the Developer, enter your username and password for the proxy server. If you select the Save my password option, the username and password information is encrypted and saved to the OdDev.exe.config file in the path for the application data, for example c:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\<local cache> (Windows XP) or c:\Users\<username>AppData\Local\<local cache> (Windows 7). If your password changes for the proxy server, you can open this file in a text editor and delete the tags <ProxySettings> and </ProxySettings> and all the text in between. This will cause the Proxy Authentication dialog box to open the next time you log in so that you can enter your new password.


To add a content Profile:

  1. On the Tools menu, choose Profiles Profiles.
     
  2. Click Add to start the Profile Wizard.
     
  3. Click Next to display the Profile Name page.
     
  4. For multi-user installation only, type the location of the Library and click Next.
     
  5. Type a unique name for the profile. You will use this name if you have multiple profiles that you can use to switch between content Libraries. You cannot have multiple profiles with the same name.
     
    Also, if you create multiple profiles, you can configure one as the default that is automatically used every time you launch the Developer by clicking the Make this my default profile checkbox. The name of the active profile appears in the title bar of the Developer to identify the Library in which you are working.
     
  6. Click Next to display the Data Storage Location page. You can either accept the default data storage location or choose a different folder on your computer. Click Browse if you want to change the default folder or click Next to accept the default folder. You must choose a folder on your local computer. Network drives are not permitted. The folder that you select must also be empty.
     
  7. Click Next to complete the Profile Wizard.
     
    The last page in the Profile Wizard displays a summary of the profile including the name and data storage location.
     
  8. Click Finish.
