Configuring the Project (Magic xpi 3.x)

To be sure that your project runs successfully, you must ensure that the same data structure that you used in the development environment is transferred to the deployment environment. To do this, you need to:

• Copy all project files directly into the projects folder on the Magic xpi Server. You cannot change the names of any of the files. You must keep the files in the same directories and subdirectories. Do not change the file structure in any way.

Because Unix, Linux, and IBM i operating systems are case sensitive, you should be careful when naming files or other components in your project. Otherwise, the project will not run correctly. If you only use lower case letters when you name your files and other components, you can copy the contents of the projects folder directly into the Projects directory of the server without making any changes.

• Map all external resources, such as Java libraries or databases to the Magic xpi server in exactly the same way they are mapped to the development environment.

For example, if you use a Java library called Java A on Computer A in the development environment, you must map the Magic xpi Server to Java A on Computer A. You must be sure to map to the same library or an exact copy in the same location. This is also true for databases or any other resources that reside on remote computers.
