Creating an ArchestrA Object Instance from an ArchestrA SmartSymbol Instance

You can create a new ArchestrA object instance from an existing ArchestrA SmartSymbol instance. By doing this, you do not need to switch between WindowMaker and the IDE.

To create a new ArchestrA object instance

1. In WindowMaker, open the window in which the SmartSymbol instance is located.

2. Double-click the SmartSymbol instance in the application window. The SmartSymbol Properties dialog box appears.

   

3. In the ArchestrA Instance box, type a valid name for the new Automation object.

   Note: If this is the first time you specify an object, you are prompted to log in. Provide a valid user name, password, and domain name. If the Application Server security is set to a mode other than None, a domain name is required only for OS User or OS Group Based security.

4. Click New. When the message appears prompting you to select a valid Galaxy in which to create the new object, click OK. The Galaxy Configuration dialog box appears.

   

5. Specify the Galaxy. Do the following:

   1. In the GR Node Name box, type the name of the computer that the Galaxy is running on.

   2. In the Galaxy Name list, click the Galaxy.

   3. Click OK. The ArchestrA object instance is created and the instance references point to the new instance.

   

   1. Click OK again to close the Create Instance dialog box.

6. Click OK to close the SmartSymbol Properties dialog box. The new SmartSymbol instance appears in the application window.
