5.1.2. Project Manager Tool

Projects are developed and managed using the Project Manager tool. This tool is part of ASTi’s

ACE Studio software suite. When launched, the Project Manager searches the network for avail-

able Targets. Each Target found is queried and a list is generated of existing Projects stored on

each Target. The user can then pick to work with any Project from the available list. Alternatively,

the user can elect to build a new Project and select to develop on any available Target. All Project

development and modifications occur on the selected Target and can be installed from that plat-

form.

Within Project Manager the user can perform typical

file operations on a Project such as Save, Save As,

Open, Close, and New. The user must save in the

Project Manager when making any model changes

to “push” the changes back to the Target. Remember

that operations performed in a Project are done on

the selected Target.

Project development and changes are also tracked

through a built-in control management system. This

allows the user to manage Projects in a similar fash-

ion as they would software source code. Features

such as change tracking, change descriptions,

release management and the ability to return work

with earlier release instances provide powerful con-

figuration management capabilities.
