Creating a New Library Cache Area

To create a new library cache area:

1. Log in to the Dimensions Administration Console.

2. In the upper right-hand corner, click Area Definitions. The Area Definitions page appears.

3. Click the New icon. The pop-up menu displays the types of area that you can create:

- Work area

- Deployment area

- Library cache area

4. Select Library cache area. The New Library Cache Area dialog box appears:

5. Fill out the fields as follows:

- ID

The identifier for the build area.

- Description

Enter a description for the build area.

- Network Node

The name of the machine that Dimensions CM is to use when executing the build.

- Directory

The name of the directory that Dimensions CM is to use as the base directory; relative path names will be evaluated based on this directory.

- Node User ID

The user ID that Dimensions CM is to use when executing the build.

NOTE On Windows 200x platforms, the user should have administrator privileges. On Windows XP, or on UNIX, USS, or MVS, administrator privileges are not required.

- Node Password

The user password that Dimensions CM is to use when executing the build.

- Area Owner

This is the user ID that has permission to edit the build area.

- Is this area currently offline

If selected, this check box will cause the area to be excluded from file transfer operations. (You might want to do this to avoid overwriting a specific directory.)

6. When you have finished filling out the dialog box, click OK. A Results dialog box briefly confirms the creation of the new area. The new area also appears in the File Areas List.
