    The dialog to select the database connection is opened.

Creating a development folder

You must perform the following actions to create a development folder:

  • Download the HTML application folders from the database and save them as sub-folders in the development folder.

  • Download the libraries from the database and save them in the sub-folder imx-modules in the development folder.

  • The newest libraries are downloaded to the sub-folder imx-modules in the development folder. Skip this step if a connection to the database has not been established (also see Connecting to the One Identity Manager database).
