Application(s) Settings Overview

The Configure Application(s) Settings feature in Workbench allows you to customize various project settings. All applied changes automatically reflect in the associated project.

To access the settings, select your project in the Project Explorer, and then click Configure Application(s) Settings in the Tools section of the Home ribbon.

You can perform the following actions on the project:

• Add or remove components (applications), which means you can only use the components that you needed in the project.
• Modify the SQL Server settings of each component, since all the configuration data is stored in SQL Server databases. You can use either local or remote SQL Server instances, and one or more databases.
• Upgrade existing components to the newer version of the configuration database.
• Create or overwrite the databases associated with the components.

In addition, it gives you information about the status of each component's configuration, which can be helpful when investigating if something is incorrectly configured.
