To create an empty 1C:Enterprise configuration scaffold, you need to generate a valid Configuration.xml file along with a default Russian language file. This provides a clean configuration baseline required before initiating metadata compilation or creating new managed application objects.

A Configuration.xml file is used during 1C project initialization to define the essential metadata structure of a new configuration. It stores the configuration name, synonym, vendor, version, and compatibility mode required to establish a valid project baseline.

You can set the compatibility mode and vendor when initializing a new 1C configuration by providing these details as optional parameters alongside the mandatory configuration name. This generates a properly configured Configuration.xml scaffold tailored to your project requirements.

No, you cannot overwrite an existing Configuration.xml file during 1C scaffold generation. The tool explicitly refuses to overwrite an existing file to prevent accidental data loss, ensuring your current configuration metadata remains protected.

Yes, you need to specify an OutputDir to generate 1C configuration metadata. The scaffold generation process outputs the newly created Configuration.xml and default language file directly into the directory you define.
