Creating a New Environment in a Version Manager

Procedure

In the "Type" tab of the Environment attributes dialog box in the production environment:

1. Select the Create option from the context-sensitive menu.
2. Enter the new environment's name. The name entered can be either a database name, or a URL containing a schema specification (SCHEMA/DATABASENAME). If a schema specification is provided, the database creation tool is launched in table creation mode on an existing database; else the tool is launched in new database creation mode.
3. Select the new environment's type: "Correction environment" or "Development environment".
4. Click the Create button.

The creation process comprises the following steps:

1. The environment is created by copying the production environment's data.
2. The environment is added to the version manager's environment list, at the production environment level.
3. When the Environment attributes dialog box is closed, the environment list is propagated to all the environments in the list except the associated correction environments.
