Deployment Preferences

The Deployment category enables you to set deployment preferences such as displaying the deployment monitor, prompting for execution parameters, and showing completion messages. This enables you to control some of the popup windows that are displayed by the Control Center Manager during object deployment.

Deployment preferences are divided into two sections: Process and Monitor. Expand the Deployment node in the Preferences dialog box. Click the node for which you want to set preferences.

Process

The Process node sets the following deployment options:

• Pause After Compile: Select this option to pause deployment after script generation. This means that you must explicitly deploy an object after it is successfully generated.

• Prompt for Commit: Select this option to prompt the user to commit design time changes before a deployment. When you deploy objects from the Design Center, if there are any unsaved design changes, then OWB prompts you to save these changes by displaying the OWB Warning dialog box. Click Save to commit unsaved design changes. Click Cancel to terminate the deployment.

  If you do not set this option, then OWB saves any design changes before the deployment job.

• Prompt for Job Name: Select this option to prompt the user for the name of a deployment job. When this option is not selected, OWB assigns a default job name.

• Prompt for Execution Parameters: Select this option to prompt the user for the values of execution parameters. If you do not select this option, then OWB uses the default value of parameters during the execution. OWB does not prompt you to provide the parameter values.

• Show Monitor: Select this option to display the Job Details window when you deploy or execute an object. This dialog box displays details of the objects being deployed, deployment progress, and deployment status.

• Show Deployment Completion Message: Select this option to display an alert indicating that the deployment job has completed.

• Show Design Center Deployment Job: Select this option to display the Control Center Jobs dialog box when you deploy an object from the Design Center. The Control Center Jobs dialog box, which is similar to the Jobs panel of the Control Center Manager, contains the Deployment, Execution, and Scheduled tabs. Use this option to view the status of a deployment job while deploying using the Design Center.

Monitor

The Monitor node sets the following deployment monitoring options:

• Show Monitor Tree: Select this option to show the Job Details window when you perform a deployment or execution.

• Show Monitor Results: Select this option to display the deployment or execution results in Control Center Manager.

• Show Monitor Logfile: Select this option to display the log file in the Control Center Manager.
