Step 4: Initializing your PWE

The goal of this step is create the SSWE directory structure in your PWE. SNiFF+ does this for you when you open the shared project in the PWE for the first time.

| Note
| For now, you should complete the following steps only for your PWE. After reading and following the steps outlined in the next and last section ( What you should do next), go through test steps again for your team members' PWEs.

\

Open the Working Environments tool.
Double-click on your PWE in the hierarchy of available working environments.
The Open Project dialog appears.
If the Project List is initially empty, press the Update List button to display all the projects that can be opened in the PWE.
A dialog appears asking you whether SNiFF+ should also look in any accessed working environments for projects that can be opened in the PWE. Here, the PWE accesses the SOWE and the SSWE, so pressing Yes will display also the projects in both of these working environments.
Press Yes.
Select the root shared project (all other projects are its subprojects) and press Open.
SNiFF+ informs you that it cannot find the directories of the shared project in the PWE root directory (they haven't been created yet). You will now have SNiFF+ copy the SSWE project directory structure into the PWE.
Enable Repeat and press Create Directory. This will save you from having to press Create Directory for each new project directory.
SNiFF+ will now incrementally create the project directories. When done, the PWE root directory contains the same project directory structure as the SSWE.
SNiFF+ also creates a Project Makefile in each project directory. On Unix, the Project Makefile will be a symbolic link to the corresponding Project Makefile in the SSWE. On Windows NT/95, a local copy is made instead.
When SNiFF+ is finished, it opens the new project in the PWE and displays its structure and contents in the Project Editor.
In the Launch Pad, select the shared project and then choose Project > Close Project to close the shared project in the PWE.
Your PWE is now set up. This completes the setup procedure for your shared team projects.
