Using Test Mode in Server Studio

You can test a panel in the Server Studio environment using test mode. This mode enables you to test the graphical properties of your panel.

If you want to carry out a full test by loading data from a server, you can activate the Connection Panel in test mode.

To activate the Connection Panel in test mode:

1. Open the Server Data Source inspector on an existing Server data source.

2. Select Session Properties in the Edit menu to open the Edit Properties dialog box.

3. Check the option Show Connection Panel and click on Apply.

4. Return to the Studio Main window and click on the standard Test button to set the current buffer in test mode.

   The connection panel is displayed in test mode.

5. Select a server object and the view you want to open, then open it.

   The panel in test mode will be used by the view.

Important! The view specification must be exactly the same in the panel as in the server. Otherwise, a lot of execution errors or warnings will be displayed if the model loaded by the Server Data Source and the view specification file running in the server are incompatible. The best way to have a synchronized version on the server is to choose Update view on Server from the Server menu before activating the test mode.
