4. To return to the Configure Cyclone Databases dialog, click Close.

Databases

To manage databases, select a server under the SERVERS folder in the Configure Cyclone Databases dialog and click the Databases button on the right. The Configure Cyclone Databases on… dialog opens.

To add a new database:

1. In the Configure Cyclone Databases on… dialog, click the Add button.

2. In the Add Database dialog that appears, click the browse button (…) to open a Windows file browser:

   1. To add an existing database, browse the required IMP file.

   2. To create a new database, browse to the required folder and name the database.

c. Click OK to return to the Configure Databases on… dialog.

To remove a database:

The selected database will be removed from the list.

To compact a database:

1. In the Configure Cyclone Databases on… dialog, select a database from the Databases list.

2. Click Compact.

This tool can be used to remove inconsistency in the Cyclone CORE database. However, it is unlikely to be needed in the CloudWorx environment.

To optimize a database:

1. In the Configure Cyclone Databases on… dialog, select a database from the Databases list.

2. Click Optimize.

3. Click Close to return to the Configure Cyclone Databases dialog.

This tool is used to reduce the size of a database and clean it. However, it is unlikely to be needed in the CloudWorx environment. To exit the dialog without performing the optimization, press the Esc key.

Create View

A ModelSpace View in CloudWorx can be helpful because of the ability to specify limit boxes within the View in Cyclone CORE.

This tool requires the ModelSpace to be selected in the project tree before it becomes active.

Create Shortcut

This tool requires the object for the shortcut to be selected in the tree before it becomes active. When the Create Shortcut button is clicked, a shortcut to the object is placed in the SHORTCUTS folder.

Delete

Only ModelSpace Views and shortcuts can be deleted.
