Running the .NET sample applications

You can run the .NET sample applications interactively in either simple or advanced mode, or noninteractively by using auto-generated or customized response files.

Before you begin

Before running any of the supplied sample applications, you must first set up the messaging server environment so that the applications can connect to a server. See Setting up the messaging server environment.

Procedure

To run a .NET sample application, complete the following steps:

Tip: When you are running a sample application, type ? at any time to get help about what to do next.

Select the mode in which you want to run the sample application.
Type either Advanced or Simple.
Answer the questions.
To select the default value, which is shown in the brackets at the end of the question, press Enter. To select a different value, type the appropriate value, and press Enter.
Here is an example question:
```
Enter connection type [wpm]:
```
In this case, the default value is wpm (connection to a WebSphere® Application Server service integration bus).

Results

When you run the sample applications, response files are generated automatically in the current working directory. Response file names are in the format connection_type-sample_type.rsp; for example, wpm-producer.rsp. If required, you can use the generated response file to rerun the sample application with the same options, so that you do not have to enter the options again.
