Creating the XML configuration files

The XML configuration files are created as part of your application in one of two ways:

• When you deploy a new application using the Deployment Template, a set of default XML configuration files are created for you in the application's /config/pipeline directory. These files are all initially created by the Deployment Template with a prefix containing the application name, such as MyApp.Dimensions.xml. Members of your team can edit these files in Developer Studio or Endeca Workbench to change the default settings.
• When application developers create an Endeca project using Developer Studio, Developer Studio creates the XML configuration files. As your application developers modify the project, Developer Studio and Workbench write changes to the XML files.

The /config/pipeline directory also contains the Developer Studio pipeline file, pipeline.epx.

You can merge the configuration files from Workbench with the MyApp/config/pipeline file set during a baseline update, depending on your ConfigManager settings. See the Deployment Template Usage Guide for more details.
