<context id="tmetasrv_wst_context"><p id="tmetasrv_wst_p1">The <i>metadata</i> contains
a variety of information about the server such as:<ul>
<li>The location where the server configuration files are stored on the workbench.</li>
<li>The fully qualified DNS name or IP address of the host machine where the
server is running.</li>
<li>The name assign to the server.</li>
<li>The name of the installed server runtime environment which defines the
runtime environment of an application server for compiling your application.</li>
</ul></p><p id="tmetasrv_wst_p2">By default, the tool hides the metadata of
the server to keep the development workspace clean. Displaying the metadata
of the server on the workbench, allows you to persists the data of the server
in a <i>serverName</i>.server file, where <i>serverName</i> is the name assigned
to the server. The <i>serverName</i>.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>To display the metadata of
the server:</context>
<steps id="tmetasrv_wst_steps">
<step id="tmetasrv_step1"><cmd>In the Servers view, right-click the server
you want to display the metadata.</cmd></step>
<step id="tmetasrv_step2"><cmd>Select the <uicontrol>Move to Workspace</uicontrol> option.</cmd>
<info><note type="tip">If the <uicontrol>Move to Workspace</uicontrol> option
is not available and you only see the <uicontrol>Move to Metadata</uicontrol> option,
this means the metadata of your server is already on the workbench. The next
step describes where you can find it on the workbench.</note></info></step>
<step id="tmetasrv_step3"><cmd>In the Project Explorer view, expand the <b>Others
Project</b> folder and then expand your server project to locate the <i>serverName</i>.server
file, where <i>serverName</i> is the name assigned to your server.</cmd></step>
<step id="tmetasrv_step4"><cmd>(<b>Optional</b>) You can double click <i>serverName</i>.server
file to edit the server's data in the server editor.</cmd></step>
</steps>
<result id="tmetasrv_wst_result">To hide the metadata of the server:<p><ol>
<li>In the Servers view, right-click the server you want to hide the metadata.</li>
