Editing Projects
Server Manager lets you create new projects, export projects, import projects, rename projects, delete and copy projects, and activate or deactivate versioning and archiving for projects.

Management Server differentiates between live and test projects. When a project is created, it is created as a test project in accordance with the default settings. Live projects are projects with all of the functions and opportunities for export, backup, import, and publication. The number of live projects that may be created is limited by the license. If the number of live projects has been exceeded, the next project will be created automatically as a test project.
Once a project has been designated as a live project, it cannot be changed. Test projects cannot be published. The number of simultaneous users is limited to 5. A test project can be transformed into a live project only once-if there is a project license available.
Naming Conventions for Projects
Do not use special characters or umlauts when creating new projects or changing the names of existing projects. Here is an example of a project name that would cause errors because of the hyphen: Project HAMPDEN-SYDNEY.
When you rename a project, you are actually creating a new name. The original database name remains intact. If you try to create a project with a database name that already exists, an error message will appear. In this case give the database of the new project a different name.

1. Configure the following Project registration settings:
1. Test project - Clear this check box to create the project as a live project.
2. Project name - Enter a unique and meaningful name for the project. The project will be displayed in the tree under this name.
Activate versioning - Select this check box to version project content.
Activate archiving - Select this check box to allow the archiving of pages in your project.
3. Select the application server on which you want to administer the project from the Application server drop-down list.
4. Use the Database server drop-down list to select the database in which you want to store the project data.
If you select an Oracle database, the following boxes appear:
Schema - Enter the schema for the project. For more information, contact your administrator or see the corresponding chapter in the Installation
documentation.
Password - Enter the password for the project schema. For more information, contact your administrator or see the corresponding chapter in the
Installation documentation.
If you select a server connection that you do not have authorization for, the following warning appears:
Note: The project database must be prepared and set up for the creation of a project. For more information, see the Installation handbook.
If you select an SQL database, the following box appears:
Database name - Initially, the name you specified in the Project name box is automatically displayed in this box. You can change this name.
2. Configure the following in the Project settings area:
1. Language variant - Use the drop-down list to select the language variant in which the project will be created. The language variant you choose will be defined as the project's main language. You can change this setting again later. You can define additional language variants for the project.
2. Select the check boxes for the folders you want to create along with the project. The default names can be changed directly in the boxes. The following folders are available:
Content Classes - Folder for saving the content classes of your project.
Images - Folder for saving the images of your project
Files - Folder for saving other files of your project
ftp://localhost - Publishing target for your project (modify this setting in accordance with your FTP server).
3. Click OK to confirm.
The project is created.

Creating Full-text Indexes for the Page Search (MS SQL Server)
For projects on a Microsoft SQL server, you can create a full-text index for page searches. This makes page searches more efficient. The search then returns only pages containing the exact words specified, not pages containing variants of the words specified. Example: The search word work will not return pages containing the words workload or overworked. Search results also depend on the update interval your administrator has set for the full-text index. The search result may therefore not include new pages.
Requirement for setting up a full-text index: the Windows service Microsoft Search must have been started on the database server. You need to create a separate full-text index for every language variant of your project. You can do this at any time. Proceed as follows:
1. Launch the MS SQL Enterprise Manager.
2. Under Databases, select the project database for the project you require.
3. Under Tables, select the table IO_VAL_<LanguageVariant> of the language variant you require (for example, IO_VAL_ENU).
4. Right-click to open the shortcut menu and choose Full-text Index Table/Define Full-text Indexing for a Table. The Full-text Indexing Wizard starts.
5. Click Next to confirm the Start dialog window.
6. A unique index is shown, for example IX_IO_VAL_DEU11. Click Next to confirm.
7. Select the check boxes for the VAL4 and VAL5 columns and click Next to confirm.
8. Specify a Name for the full-text index and choose a Location. Click Next to confirm your entries.
9. Create population schedules specifying update intervals for the full-text index.
Depending on the change frequency of your project, a new full-text index should be created daily or weekly. Click Next to confirm your entries.
10.Click Finish to confirm all settings you have configured.
11.A message informs you that the full-text index has been created but not yet populated.
12.If there are already pages in your project, you should now populate the full-text index, so it is ready for use. Under Full-text Catalog, select the full-text index and choose Start Full Population in the shortcut menu.
You have now created a full-text index for one project and one language variant.
Repeat this procedure for all projects and all language variants for which you require full-text indexes.
More information on creating and maintaining a full-text index can be found here:

A full-text index is not available for MSDE. For Oracle, a full-text index is automatically created during installation.

Oracle Schema for Projects
Before you can create a project that will be connected to an Oracle database, the administrator must create a schema for the project. For more information, contact your administrator or see the Oracle as Database of Management Server section in the Installation manual.
Restoring Projects that Have Been Visually Deleted
If a project was only visually deleted, the project can be restored by creating a new project. For this new project, enter the database name of the deleted project in Database name box. The new project is now connected with the database of the deleted project and you can start working in the project as you did before.
