Creating and distributing projects
Velocity has the following types of project:
•A host profile with all its associated settings. Host profiles are for terminal emulation (TE) hosts, Web hosts (or web sites), or Oracle SIM hosts. For information on editing profile settings, see Configuring host profiles.
• A collection of global settings that can be distributed with multiple projects. A global settings project applies its settings for each host profile on the device. For more information, see Using a Global Settings project.
•A Scan to Config project that makes it easy to configure a Velocity Client by scanning a QR code. For more information, see Using a Scan to Config project.
•An enhanced logging project allows you to turn on logging settings independent of the host profiles. For more information, see Using enhanced logging projects .
•A form project that creates a custom business process automation form to use on the Velocity Client. For more information, see Velocity Forms.
When you initially launch the Velocity Console application, you're given the option of creating a new project or opening a current one, if any exist. For some project properties, such as customer, you can create and manage the setting independent of the profile. For more information, see Reusable settings.
Saving a project allows you to open and edit it in the Console. However, in order to distribute it to devices, you need to deploy it. For information on deploying projects, see Deploying a project.
