The Apama interface
Apama Studio is an Eclipse plug-in and using it is similar to working in other Eclipse development perspectives.
Apama Studio provides the following distinct perspectives for working with projects, Apama Developer, Apama Runtime, Apama Workbench, and Apama Profiler. In each of the perspectives, you can create projects, add Apama resources, and launch your application. While developing your application you can switch from one perspective to the other. For more information, see the following:
*The Apama Workbench perspective
*The Apama Developer perspective
*The Apama Runtime perspective
When you debug an Apama application, by default Apama Studio switches to the Eclipse Debug perspective. When profiling an Apama application written in the Apama Event Processing Language (EPL), Apama Studio uses the Apama Profiler perspective. (Beginning with Apama 4.3, “Apama Event Processing Language” is the new name for MonitorScript.)
Note: When using any of the Apama perspectives, you can redisplay the default perspective layout by selecting Window > Reset Perspective from the Apama Studio menu.
Caution! The recommended installation folder is Program Files, which is a protected location on recent Microsoft Windows operating systems. These include the client operating systems Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, and the server operating systems Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 2012 R2. To write to the Program Files folder, you must run the Apama installer with Administrative privileges. After Apama installation, if you want to add additional plug-ins to Eclipse, you can run the Eclipse plug-in installer or use the Eclipse Check for Updates facility but you must have Administrative privileges when you install the Eclipse plug-in. Lack of Administrative privileges might cause the plug-in installation to fail or become corrupt. Adiministrative privileges are required because Eclipse also installs its plug-ins in the protected Program Filess folder. Alternatively, you can choose to install Apama in a non-recommended location outside the Program Files folder.
