About the integrated development environment (IDE)

The integrated development environment (IDE) is the single tool from which all objects are configured and deployed to target computers. You work from the IDE to create, configure, and maintain the objects that comprise your application and the underlying infrastructure that supports your application.

Using the System Platform IDE, you can import new types of objects in to the Galaxy Repository, configure new ones, and deploy them to computers in your network. Multiple users can work concurrently on different sets of objects from different System Platform IDEs.

When you start the IDE, you must select an existing Galaxy or create a new Galaxy. You cannot open the IDE without opening a Galaxy.
