Getting started

The IBM Transformation Extender Design Studio is an Eclipse-based design environment that integrates Type Designer and Map Designer functionality.

The Eclipse platform provides a common user interface for the Type Designer and Map Designer called a "perspective". First-time Eclipse users must review the Workbench User Guide before using the Eclipse-based Design Studio.

The Workbench User Guide is located in the help.
  1. Open the Design Studio.
  2. Select Help > Help Contents. The help opens for the Eclipse Platform.
  3. Under Contents, select Workbench User Guide.
