Configure a Development environment

To configure a Development environment

1. On the desktop, double-click the Windows PowerShell for DNA shortcut.

   Windows PowerShell for DNA opens.

2. Execute the following command:

   set-silo Tools

3. Execute the following command to create a Development environment:

   Initialize-DevEnvironment.ps1

   For example:

   Initialize-DevEnvironment.ps1 -Path C:\Customizations -Name RealTime

   Arguments:

   • -Path: The path to the root folder that will contain one or more product-specific Development environments. For example, C:\Customizations.

     Note: If working with a 260-character MAX_PATH, use a path value along the lines of C:\Source or C:\Workspace to keep the path short.

   • -Name: The name of the product associated with the Development environment. For example, RealTime.

     Important: Associate the Development environment with a single product component MSI package. You should only deploy a custom file within a single MSI. If you deploy a custom file from two separate MSIs—resulting in duplicated custom files—unexpected issues will arise since the consistency of install files can no longer be guaranteed.

   • -Version: (Optional) The version number of the product associated with the Test and Development System environment. For example, 9.0.
