Creating Pipe Configuration Specifications

You can create a Pipe Configuration specification independently or create a new Pipe Configuration specification in the processing of adding it to a Pipe specification.

To create a Pipe Configuration specification:

1. Do one of the following:

   • If you are creating the Pipe Configuration specification independently, select New from the Studio menu, then select Inventory, then select Resources, then select Pipe Configuration Specification.

   • If you are creating a Pipe Configuration specification while adding it to a Pipe specification, click Add in the Pipe Configurations tab of the Pipe Specification editor.

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

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

   This is the name that 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.

6. In the Pipe Configuration Specification editor, click the Details tab.

7. (Optional) Right-click in the Details tab data tree area and from the Configuration Items menu select Add Termination (Originating), Add Termination (Terminating), or Add Transport to add configuration items.

8. If you added a Transport configuration item, right-click the Transport configuration item, and then from the Configuration Items menu select Add Intermediate Node.

   For Transport configuration items, you must create an Intermediate Node child configuration item. Intermediate Node is the only required child configuration item.

9. (Optional) To limit the resources associated with configuration items to instances of particular specifications:

   1. Select a configuration item.

   2. In the Specification Options tab, add specifications for the valid resources.

      See "Configuration Specification Editor Specification Options Subtab" for more information.

10. From the File menu, select Save.
