E. PROJECT CREATION
This chapter explains the creation of a new project, different types of projects and
project attributes.
E.1. TYPES OF PROJECT
A project is a folder that contains the project database i.e. all the system
component folders and the files. All the builder files are modified and created
under this project folder. There are three types of projects: the default project, the
current project and the user defined project.
E.1.1 DEFAULT PROJECT
The default project is automatically created when the system view is started for
the first time. Once all the system generation is carried out using the default
project and the FCS is off-line loaded, this default project is converted to a
current project automatically. If a project is defined as a default project, on-line
functions cannot be performed unless it is converted into a current project. With a
default project, virtual test function can be performed.
E.1.2 CURRENT PROJECT
When a FCS off-line loaded using a default project, the default project is
automatically converted into a current project. This allows on-line functions to be
performed. Both default and current project cannot co-exist. The image of the
current project components is same as the actual components installed in the
network. Hence only one current project can exist. A target test function can be
performed if a project is a current one.
E.1.3 USER-DEFINED PROJECT
A project copied from a default or a current project is referred as a user-defined
project. There could be as many user-defined project assigned in a system view.
On-line functions cannot be performed from a user-defined project. A virtual test
function can be performed from this type of project.
