| <h1 class="topictitle1">Displaying or hiding the metadata of the server</h1> |
| <div><div>On the workbench, you have the option to display or hide the metadata |
| of the server.</div><div class="section"><div class="p">The <em>metadata</em> 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> |
| </div> |
| <p>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 <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> |
| To display the metadata of the server:</div> |
| <ol><li class="stepexpand"><span>In the Servers view, right-click the server you want to display |
| the metadata.</span></li> |
| <li class="stepexpand"><span>Select the <span class="uicontrol">Move to Workspace</span> option.</span> <div class="tip"><span class="tiptitle">Tip:</span> If the <span class="uicontrol">Move to Workspace</span> option |
| is not available and you only see the <span class="uicontrol">Move to Metadata</span> 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.</div> |
| </li> |
| <li class="stepexpand"><span>In the Project Explorer view, expand the <strong>Others Project</strong> folder |
| and then expand your server project to locate the <em>serverName</em>.server |
| file, where <em>serverName</em> is the name assigned to your server.</span></li> |
| <li class="stepexpand"><span>(<strong>Optional</strong>) You can double click <em>serverName</em>.server |
| file to edit the server's data in the server editor.</span></li> |
| </ol> |
| <div class="section">To hide the metadata of the server:<div class="p"><ol><li>In the Servers view, right-click the server you want to hide the metadata.</li> |
| <li>Select the <span class="uicontrol">Move to Metadata</span> option.<div class="tip"><span class="tiptitle">Tip:</span> If |
