Run a ViewApp in Preview Mode

When you are building a ViewApp, you can immediately preview and assess your editing changes in run time mode. Previewing your work enables you to work more quickly because you do not need to undeploy and redeploy your Galaxy objects each time you modify your ViewApp to verify your changes.

To preview a ViewApp

1. Open the System Platform IDE.

2. Open an undeployed ViewApp in the ViewApp editor.

3. Select the Preview button near the top right corner of the ViewApp editor.

   

   The first time you request a preview, a caution message explains that preview mode is not intended for production usage. Select the check box in the message to not show the message again.

4. Click OK to continue.

   Within several seconds the preview session launches from the computer hosting the ArchestrA IDE.

5. Click the standard Close icon on the ViewApp win- dow frame to stop running in preview mode.

Some Details

• The AutoUpdate icon next to the Preview button enables or disables any updates to the ViewApp to appear in preview mode. If the ViewApp contains unsaved changes, the ViewApp will be saved and the new configuration passed to Preview.

• The preview window opens and shows the current focus of the ViewApp as it is edited in the ViewApp editor.
