The Common tab in the Progress OpenEdge External AVM section of the Configurations wizard allows you set options for specifying where the external AVM launch configuration is saved, how it is accessed, and how it runs. See Progress External OpenEdge AVM settings (Debug Configuration only) for information about accessing the wizard.
The following controls are available on the Common tab:
| Control | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Name (accessible from all tabs) | (Required) The name of the launch configuration, which appears on menus and in the left pane of the Configurations wizard. |
| Local file/Shared file | Notifies Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge to save the configuration definition either in the metadata\plugins directory in your workspace (local file), or in a selected project folder (shared file). |
| Favorites menu selector | Causes the configuration to appear as an option at the top level
of the Run menu, the
Debug menu, or both. Check the desired
options. Note: You can also manage these menu options
on via Organize Favorites on the
Run and Debug menus.
