Creating New LiveView Configuration Files

Follow these steps to generate a new, empty StreamBase LiveView configuration file in StreamBase Studio:

  1. Open the New StreamBase LiveView Configuration File wizard using one of the following methods:

    • Select File → New → StreamBase LiveView Configuration File and click Next.

    • Click the drop-down arrow next to the New toolbar button (), and select StreamBase LiveView Configuration File from the drop-down menu.

    • Right-click anywhere in the Package Explorer, and select New → StreamBase → StreamBase LiveView Configuration File from the context menu.

    • With the cursor in any Studio view, press Ctrl+N to open the New dialog. Navigate to StreamBase → StreamBase LiveView Configuration File and click Next.

    • With the cursor in any Studio view, press Alt+Shift+N to open the File → New menu at the cursor location. Select StreamBase LiveView Configuration File.

  2. In the New StreamBase LiveView Configuration File wizard, select the project folder where you want the file to be created.

  3. Enter the file name to create. There is no default basename, but LiveView requires naming your lvconf files the same as the ID of the primary element in the file. The wizard enforces adding the .lvconf extension to the name you specify.

  4. Click Finish. A default lvconf file is created in the specified project. Studio opens the new file in the LiveView Configuration File Editor.

    Note

    The Advanced button lets you create the new file as a link to an existing lvconf file anywhere in the file system.

Studio generates the following blank lvconf file: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<liveview-configuration xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://www.streambase.com/schemas/lvconf/">
</liveview-configuration>
