How to Work with Projects > Project Properties

Overview

The "Host" tab contains project information regarding communication settings with MCL-Net V4.

These options can be edited during project development (only unpublished projects can have their settings edited).

This tab includes the “Edit Host Profiles”.

After creating a project, there is no information. However, as the project is developed, Host profiles are added.

Host profiles can be added, deleted,edited or copied by using the icons located to the right of the table.

This table is for your reference, profiles do not need to be created/added.

When the “Set Host Address” process is used to create a new profile, it is automatically added to this table.

See Working with Host Services Processes Group OR Working with Remote Database Processes.

To Create a Host Profile

Host profiles can be created in the "Host" tab of the "Project Properties" window but, also, within the processes included in the Host Services and Remote Database process groups. See Working with Host Services Processes Group OR Working with Remote Database Processes.
