Open a workspace

You must open a workspace in SmartGen to generate cores. If you have never opened a workspace, you can create one. To open an existing workspace:

1. Start SmartGen.

2. From the File menu, choose Open Workspace, or click the Open Workspace button in the SmartGen toolbar. This opens the Open Workspace dialog box .

3. Navigate to the workspace you wish to open and click Open.

SmartGen audits the workspace for existing cores and their associated files (CXF, LOG, VHD/V, and other auxiliary files) each time you open it. SmartGen reports if any of the files associated with an existing core are missing. If a CXF (core configuration) file for a core is missing, SmartGen loads the core into the workspace with default parameters.
