Lab 1: Creating Galaxy

  • Creating a Galaxy
    • Each ArchestrA IDE session requires connection to a specified Galaxy. In other words, the ArchestrA IDE cannot be started in a Galaxy-neutral state. When you attempt to start the ArchestrA IDE, the Connect to Galaxy dialog box is displayed.
  • This dialog box is comprised of three groups of options:
    • Galaxy Repository/Galaxy connect selections: This consists of the GR Node Name and Galaxy Name boxes.
    • Action buttons: Connect, New Galaxy, Delete Galaxy, About and Cancel.
    • Licensing information


  • Creating a new Galaxy, you must select the appropriate Galaxy type:

  1. Default Galaxy: Creates a Galaxy that includes all objects needed for a System Platform application. It also creates a backup file (.cab) at the end of the process and makes it available to this list.
  2. Base_Application_Server.cab: Same as Default Galaxy, but uses the backup file (.cab) to create the galaxy. It does not creates a backup at the end, making the process faster.
  3. Base_InTouch.cab: Creates a Galaxy that includes only the object needed for tag-based Managed InTouch applications.
  4. Reactor_Demo_Application_Server.cab: Creates a Galaxy with the Reactor Demo based on a System Platform application.
  5. Reactor_Demo_InTouch.cab: Creates a Galaxy with the Reactor Demo based on a tag- based Managed InTouch application.Lab 1 – Creating the Galaxy.webm
