Table 5-1 User Definition- Field Descriptions

Field Description
User ID This is the unique ID given to each user, used to login into Workbench.
User Name Enter User Name.
User Password The password the user has to enter to log in to Workbench.
Default Release Select Release code from the list of values. This will be the release to which users will be mapped on logging in to the Tool. If the user mapped to more than one release, the user can switch between the releases using the User Preferences screen. Refer https://docs.oracle.com/cd/F42208_01/PDF/Open_Dev_Tools/03-Development_WorkBench_Getting_Started.pdf for further details on User Preferences
Default Environment Select the corresponding environment code created for the selected default release. If not selected, the user can set environment in the User Preferences screen after logging in.
Save Format The user can access the generated files in one of the following modes:
  • Zip: Files will be zipped and downloaded from the server to the client. This is the default save format.
  • Server Path: If the user has access to Server, then this mode can be selected. A path in Server has to be specified as Work Directory. Files will be copied to this path from where the user can pick them up.
  • Client Path: For ease of use for users of Older Versions, the earlier mode has also been retained. Here the user has to provide a path in his machine as the Work Directory. Note that this mode uses ActiveX Scripting; hence settings have to be set accordingly. This option is available only in Internet Explorer.
Work Directory It is the path of the folder where the Workbench generated files will be saved. The user can specify the default directory where all his work should be saved. This field is applicable only if the Save format is either Server Path or Client Path. If the Save Format is Server Path, a path in the server has to be specified. If the Save Format is Client Path, a path in the client machine has to be specified. If the value is specified as CURRENT_DIRECTORY generated files will be saved to the location path specified at the design screen level.
Excel Format This field defines the default extension of the excel files generated from the Tool. XLS and XLSX are the supported formats.
XML Formatting Any XML file which is generated by Workbench will be formatted.
LDAP Authentication This option can be selected if the user has to be authenticated against an LDAP. Password need not be specified in this case. LDAP properties have to be specified in the odt.properties file for availing of this feature. Sample LDAP Properties:
  • LDAPSSLEn = N
  • LDAP_DOMAIN=MODELBANK.COM
  • LDAP_SERVER_URL=ldap://10.184.xx.xx.389
