How You Can Create an Application
When OpenROAD Workbench is open, you can create a new application and store it in the database to which you are currently connected.
To create an application and set its basic properties
1. Click the Develop tab.
2. Click File, New Application.
The Create Application dialog appears.
Note: For a description of the fields on this dialog, see “Application Properties” in the Workbench User Guide.
3. Enter the application name (for example, My_Application).
4. Select a database option from the Database drop-down.
5. (Optional) Enter a comment about the application in the Remark entry field.
6. Enter any parameters in the Parameters field.
7. Enter the name of a globals initialization file, if desired.
Note: Click the button at the right side of the field to browse to the location of a file.
For more information about using an initialization file, see “Specify Initial Values for Global Variables and Global Constants” in the Workbench User Guide.
8. Enter any database flags in the Ingres Flags field, if desired.
9. Accept the Default application icon, or clear the check box and browse for an alternative icon file.
Note: This option specifies the icon that is displayed when the application’s frames are minimized.
10. Enter any extended properties, if desired. Click Edit to open the Extended Properties dialog.
11. Click Create.
Your application appears in the Applications portlet.
Note: You can modify any of these properties subsequently using the Application Properties dialog.
