B.2. Teiid Designer Preferences

Always open editor without prompting - To change/edit a model, it must be opened for editing. Selecting this box will automatically open the model in an editor if the user attempts to perform a change in a model. If unchecked, the user will be informed that an editor will be opened before the operation is completed.

Open Designer perspective when model is opened - If a model is opened via importing projects, the New > Teiid Metadata Model menu and the Teiid Designer perspective is not open, you may want to automatically open the perspective and begin working on your model. This preference has 3 settings. Always open, which means always open the perspective without prompting; never open, which means do not open the Teiid Designer perspective, or prompt, which will always ask you if you wish to open the Teiid Designer perspective.

Check and update imports during save - Occasionally editing a model may add or remove objects in one model that reference objects in another model. Model Imports keep track of these dependencies within each model. A validation error or warning may appear during a build. Checking this box will automatically check and update imports during the save process. This will result in any unneeded imports being removed from the model or any required imports added to the model. If unchecked, no updating of imports will be performed.

Enable Preview - If the Designer Runtime feature is installed and a Teiid Instance is defined, Teiid Designer will automatically keep the preview artifacts (VDBs) in sync with the workspace models. Clearing this preference will disable preview feature and not create preview artifacts.

Enable Preview Teiid Cleanup - If operating Designer with Enable Preview = TRUE, then this preference will result in automatic clean-up of your preview artifacts from your JBoss Data Virtualization servers. Any preview VDBs or preview data sources will be undeployed from your servers as part of Eclipse's shutdown process.
