| of the server to keep the development workspace clean. Displaying the metadata |
| of the server on the workbench, allows you to persist the data |
| of the server in a <em>serverName</em>.server file, where <em>serverName</em> is |
| the name assigned to the server. The <em>serverName</em>.server file is useful |
| when you are working in a team development environment and you are required |
| to maintain the metadata of the server in a source control repository.</p> |
