How To Create, Build, Clean, and Delete Dataspace Projects

A dataspace project is developed in Studio and deployed to a local server. While the development process typically is an iterative cycle of modification and deployment, it is important to keep in mind that the existence of a project in Studio is only loosely coupled with its deployed status. This loose coupling has implications for several types of operations:

• Development and deployment to the server
• Publishing to the server
• Configuring projects on the server
• Removal of the project
• Removal of the project from the server

Creating a Dataspace Project

You can create a new dataspace projects using the Studio's File menu.

Steps in Creating a Dataspace Project

Building a Dataspace Project 

In Studio it is often a good practice to set your project to be built automatically every time you modify a file in your project. You can establish this setting through the Studio Project menu:

A checkbox appears when this option is selected.

Cleaning a Dataspace Project 

Applying a "clean" to a project clears out any existing build problems and build states. If your build runs into error conditions or other problems, cleaning and redeploying your project is a recommended first step.

A dataspace project can only be deployed when no other process has an editing lock on the ALDSP configuration that contains your dataspace. The ALDSP configuration can be locked through the ALDSP Administration Console (Lock and Edit), by a client process (MBean API or WLST script), or during deployment from Eclipse/Workshop.

Deleting a Dataspace Project

Dataspace projects are both created and deleted through the Project Explorer.

To delete a project:

1. Right-click on the project's name in the Project Explorer.
2. Select Delete.

You will be given two options:

• Delete content from the file system? If you choose:

  Do not delete content

  you will be able to import the project at a later time.

• Delete the dataspace on the server? The deployed dataspace will be removed from the server. If this option is not selected, the dataspace will remain in one of two states, depending on selected options:
  • Available to be configured on the server
  • Configured on the server

    Data services can also be removed from their server through the ALDSP Administration Console.
