Procedure
In the Applications folder on macOS, find and open the standalone mPaaS application mPaaSPlugin.
Drag your project file into the plugin, or click the Open Project button to select your project file.
Select the Import Cloud Metadata menu. Click the Select Configuration File button, and choose the
.configfile that you downloaded in Step 2. Click Start Import to import the configuration into your project.NoteAfter you select the file, you can click the X button to close the window. The configuration is not applied until you click Start Import.
Click the Edit Modules menu. The workspace shows a page indicating that no modules have been integrated.
Click Add Module to open the Module List edit page.
Select a Baseline Type and Version. The latest baseline is selected by default. Click Confirm.
After the baseline menu collapses, the module list for that baseline is displayed. Click a module card to add it.
Click the Details button next to a module to view its description, release notes, and included framework files.
When you are done selecting modules, click Save in the upper-right corner. This saves your changes and returns you to the main page, where the workspace displays your selections.
On the main page, click Start Editing to add the selected modules to your project.
NoteThe changes are not applied until you click Start Editing.
Restart your project. A new mPaaS folder appears at the same level as your project file. This folder contains all mPaaS-related files. For more information, see mPaaS folder structure.
Build the project and verify that it compiles successfully. Your project is now connected to mPaaS.
