Creating Run-Time Environments

You create a Design Studio run-time environment to contain the run-time environment connection parameters.

To create a run-time environment:

From the Studio menu, select Show Environment Perspective.

The Environment perspective appears.
Right-click in the Environments view and select New Environment.

The Studio Model Entity wizard appears, with the project name selected by default.

Note:

Studio Environment entities must be saved in an Environment project. If no Environment projects exist in the workspace, Design Studio prompts you to create one. See "Creating Environment Projects" for more information.
In the Project field, select the appropriate project for the environment.

See "Creating Environment Projects" for more information about creating new projects.
In the Name field, enter a name for the run-time environment.

The name must be unique among environment entities within the same namespace.
(Optional) Select a location in which to save the run-time environment configuration.

By default, Design Studio saves the environment configuration to your default workspace location. You can enter a folder name in the Folder field, or select a location different from the 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.
Click Finish.

The new run-time environment entity appears in the Environment view.
In the Environment view, right-click the environment to which you want to connect and select Open.

The Studio Environment view appears.
In the Address field, enter the Oracle WebLogic Server IP address (or the fully qualified domain name if DNS is enabled) and port necessary to connect to the run-time environment.
Note:

If you are using an IPv6 URL address, you must be deploying over a network that supports IPv6. The IP address you enter must be in standard IPv6 form. The final four nodes can be omitted if the nodes are all zeroes. For example:
- [10:20:0:0:0:0:0:0] or [10:20:0:0]
- [26AB:FFFF:800:50:0:0:0:0] or [26AB:FFFF:800:50]
- [CD:47:2:9999:0:0:0:0] or [CD:47:2:9999]
See "Studio Environment Editor Connection Information Tab" for more information about the Address field.
(Optional) In the Cluster/Server field, enter the name of the cluster or server on which the target application resides.

See "Studio Environment Editor Connection Information Tab" for more information.
(Optional) Enable SSL connections.

Before you deploy cartridges from Design Studio using an SSL connection, you must enable SSL in the WebLogic server to ensure that the Cartridge Management web service accepts the SSL connection. See Design Studio System Administration Guide for information about enabling SSL.
Click Save.
