Running samples from the Samples Console

The Samples Console is an Eclipse perspective that you use to build and run samples.

About this task

Use the Samples Console to:

Explore the samples, import the projects, and view documentation for each sample.
Run available Ant targets to build and execute the samples.
Start and stop the sample server.
Open the Decision Center Enterprise console, the Decision Center Business console, and the Rule Execution Server console.
Display all traces produced when building the samples.

Important:

To run samples and tutorials, the locale of your Eclipse must be set to en_US.

To run a sample from the Samples Console:

Start the Samples Console in one of two ways:
- On the Windows Start menu, click All Programs > package_group > Sample Server > Samples Console (en_US). package_group refers to the package group specified in IBM® Installation Manager during installation. The default package group is Operational Decision Manager V8.9.0.
  This shortcut opens Designer in the en_US (American English) locale.
- In Rule Designer, select Window > Open Perspective > Other, select Samples Console, and then click OK.
In the Sample Server view, click the Start the Sample Server icon.
When the startup of the sample server is complete, click the Samples and Tutorials view to locate the sample or tutorial that you want to run.
Click View instructions to display the relevant documentation.
The Decision Center and Rule Execution Server samples provide Ant targets to compile and run the sample. Click View sample commands to open the Samples Commands view.
When instructed to execute an Ant target, double-click the appropriate Ant target node. The Ant targets are identified by a green target icon.
