Creating Configuration Specifications

You can create a configuration specification independently or create a new configuration specification in the processing of adding it to a Service, Place, Network, Pipe, Logical Device, or Logical Device Account specification.

Note:

Place configurations apply only to places defined as sites.

To create a configuration specification:

  1. Do one of the following:

    • If you are creating the configuration independently, from the Studio menu select New, then select Inventory, then select a conceptual division, then select one of the configuration specifications.

    • If you are creating a configuration while adding it to a specification, open the Specification editor, click the configurations tab (for example, in the Service Specification editor, click the Service Configurations tab), then click Add.

    The Entity Configuration Specification Wizard appears.

  2. In the Project field, select the name of the project to which the new configuration specification should be added.

  3. In the Name field, enter a name for the new configuration specification.

    The name you enter appears in UIM.

  4. (Optional) Select a location.

    By default, Design Studio saves the entity to your default workspace location. You can enter a folder name in the Folder field or select a location different from the system-provided default. To select a different location:

    1. Click the Folder field Browse button.

    2. Navigate to the directory in which to save the entity.

    3. Click OK.

  5. Click Finish.

    Design Studio creates the new configuration specification and displays its information in an editor.
