Starting and Stopping Projects from the Monitor (Magic xpi 4.13)
The Monitor shows the projects based on the ApplicationsList.xml file, which is located in the Runtime\config folder.
-
Copy the text in the file, which is the following, by default, and paste it as a new instance underneath the existing instance:
The ProjectsFolder FolderPath is the path where all of the projects are saved.
The Project ProjectPath is the path to a unique project folder for one project containing the project's files, including the start.xml file.
-
In the new section, change the word default to another name, such as deployment.
-
In the new section, change the path to point to the shared drive, such as \\10.1.1.6\projects.
-
Save the file.
-
Refresh the Monitor to apply the settings by clicking the Magic xpi tab and then the Browse all projects link.

If you do not want projects from a particular group to be displayed in the Monitor, remove the entire block of the <ProjectsGroup> tag instead of just leaving the FolderPath entry empty.

Here is an example of an ApplicationsList.xml file:
<ApplicationsList>
<ProjectsGroup GroupName="default">
<ProjectsFolder FolderPath="c:\Users\ABC\Documents\Magic\Projects"/>
</ProjectsGroup>
<ProjectsGroup GroupName="My first 2 projects">
<Project ProjectPath="C:\Temp\projects\Project1\Project1" ProjectName="Project1"/> <!--a project folder that contains the project's files including the start.xml file-->
<Project ProjectPath="C:\Temp\projects\Project2" ProjectName="Project2" StartFile="start2.xml"/> <!--a project folder that contains the project's files including a "non-default" start2.xml-->
</ProjectsGroup>
<ProjectsGroup GroupName="all QA's projects"> <!--an additional and separate projects folder-->
<ProjectsFolder FolderPath="D:\Different Project Folder\QA"/>
</ProjectsGroup>
</ApplicationsList>
|
|
When working on a clustered environment, the list of the projects in the ApplicationList.xml should be identical on all the clusters. If the project list on the clusters doesn’t match, then the projects will fail to start and stop from the Magic Monitor.
