Executing a postprocessing script

Explains how to execute a run configuration and examine the result in the IDE.

The covering example defines only one run configuration.

To execute the run configuration:

  1. Right-click on Run Configurations and select Run > Basic Configuration (default).

    Upon completion, the IDE displays the number of solutions found in the Solutions tab. See What happens when you execute a run configuration in IDE Reference for details of the execution process.

  2. Examine the Scripting log.

    At the end of execution, the Scripting log contains the line written by the postprocessing script.

The line written to the Scripting Log by the postprocessing script shows the crew, that is, the workers that are hired. Three out of thirty-two workers are used in this solution.
