About workspaces

You can create multiple workspaces where you can create and test collections of components. You can test components against new data sources, test new components, test edits to existing components, and build new components without interfering with the live, running environment.

After testing is complete, you can do either of the following.

You can use a runset to reference trigger systems in one or more workspaces, publish the runset, and then perform production runs.

You can publish any workspace and then perform production runs.

See the IBM® Unica Detect Administrator’s Guide for information on performing test and production runs.

You can perform the following tasks in the Detect Workspaces area.

Manage the list of workspaces—You can add a new workspace, or copy or delete an existing workspace. You can also rename and describe the workspaces.

View and manage the components within a workspace—By selecting an individual workspace, you access its Workspace Editor. From there you can develop and manage the components to build a trigger system within the workspace.

Publish a workspace—You can promote a workspace to production and archive the last active workspace. Only one workspace at a time can be published.

Two ways to create and edit components

You create new components and modify existing ones in the Component Editor. Detect gives you the following two options for accessing the Component Editor.

On the Component Graph tab of a workspace, right-click the component on the graph and select Edit in the context menu.

On the Component List tab of a workspace, click the name of the component.
