Creating Apama projects

1. From the Apama Studio menu, select File > New > Apama Project to display the New Project dialog. If you are using the Apama Workbench perspective, you can also click the New Project button in top right of the Workbench Project view.

2. In the New Apama Project dialog, specify information for the following fields:

a. In the Project Name field, enter the name of your new project. Project names typically use titlecase capitalization and may contain spaces, for example. “My Project”.

b. If you want to store the project in a directory other than the default location, clear the Use default location checkbox, click Browse, and navigate to and select the location for storing your new project.

3. If you do not need to change the bundles that will be included in the project click Finish which takes you to Step 6.

Bundles are packages of Apama objects such as EPL files, event definition files, and event files that are required for specific types of applications. Adapter bundles contain the configuration files, service monitors, and other files associated with the standard Apama adapters.

When you create a new project the settings for selected bundles remain the same as they were for the last time you created a new project. If you want to change these settings and specify other bundles for your application, click Next.

4. On the Configure new project page, add checkmarks to the bundles that are appropriate to the type of application you are developing,. For example if your application is a dataview application, select the DataView Service bundle.

If you are creating a project for an EPL application, click Finish.

If you are creating a project for an Apama Java application, add a check to the Add Java support to this project checkbox and click Next.

5. If you are creating an Apama Java application, in the Configure the new Apama Java application dialog, fill in the fields as desired. Click Finish.

6. If you are not currently in an Apama perspective, the Open Associated Perspective? dialog appears; it is up to you whether to select Remember my decision. Click Yes or No.

If you are in the Apama Developer perspective, Apama Studio displays the name of your new project in the Project Explorer view pane on the left of the perspective. If this is your first project, the other panes are blank.
