Launching a Development Environment

To start your product, select Getting Started from the product directories (a.k.a. environments) in the list and click on the arrow on the left side of the entry.

Development image ownership

Depending on how your system is set up, additional windows might open immediately after the Transcript. One window lists all users of your team's library. Search this list for your name, ID, or whatever designation your library administrator gave you. Select your designation; then select OK.

After you select a designation and select OK, the system makes you "owner" or "manager" of any components you create under that designation.

Security

If your library restricts access to authorized users, then another window prompts you for your network password. This window opens whenever you start the product. Enter your password; then select OK.

If your name does not appear in the list of users or if you do not know your network password, contact your library administrator. If you are the library administrator, see Giving users access to libraries for more information.

Connecting to the development manager library

If this is the first time you are launching this development image, a window opens asking whether you want to connect to the library, select Yes. This recaches the system's pointers. After you save the image, you will not have to recache pointers again.

In the Image

After you start your product, you will see a picture on the screen while the system loads. After the system loads, the System Transcript window opens. For simplicity, this guide will refer to the System Transcript window as the Transcript. The Transcript looks like this:

The Transcript must remain open for the development environment to operate (but you can minimize it). When you close the Transcript, the system shuts down.
