CIMPLICITY2.2. Dynamic Configuration
If your user role has been assigned the option, dynamic update option is an efficient way to make certain changes in a project and have the project automatically updated.
Note: When Dynamic mode is unavailable, or disabled, CIMPLICITY makes all configuration updates to files in the project's Master directory. When configuration data is updated, the new entries are immediately available to other configuration functions, but they are not normally available to runtime functions.
The Workbench provides you with the option to enable Dynamic configuration.
