Creating an SSP Setup Client Project for RuleApps

PREVIOUS NEXT

You generate a Scenario Service Provider (SSP) Setup client project for RuleApps using the SSP Setup generator. The SSP Setup generator provides files to update the SSP web application with the XOMs used by a RuleApp.

To create an SSP Setup client project for RuleApps:

On the File menu, click New > Project.
In the New Project wizard, select Client Project for RuleApps, then click Next.
Expand the Rule Execution Server category, select the SSP Setup generator, then click Next.
On the Client Project Name page, enter the name of the project, then click Next.
On the RuleApp Project page, select the RuleApp project for which you want to generate the project, then click Next.
On the Ruleset Archive page, select the ruleset archive(s) that you want to execute from the project, then click Next.
On the Properties page, click Browse and select a Rule Execution Server configuration.
If there is no configuration to select, create one using the New Rule Execution Server Configuration wizard, as follows.

On the Execution Server Configuration Selection page, click Create a configuration.
On the Add New Configuration to a Project page, select the Rule Execution Server project for which you want to add the new configuration and click Next to specify the Rule Execution Server Configuration Project name.

If there is no project to select, create one as follows:

- Click Create a new configuration project.

- On the New Rule Execution Server Configuration Project page, enter the name of the new configuration project.

- Click Finish.

- On the Add New Configuration to a Project page, select the configuration project you have just created and click Next.

On the Configure Rule Execution Server page, select the required server and click Next to specify the server configuration.

The Server Configuration page displays the Name of the configuration:

- Click Browse and select the required Installation and Deployment directories.

- If you want to deploy the RuleApp on the Rule Execution Server Console, enter the Rule Execution Server Console details.

- Click Test Connection if you want to test that you have a connection to a Rule Execution Server Console. It will succeed if the Rule Execution Server Console is installed on the server you selected.

- If required, type the URL of a client application that will use the Web service that the Web Service generator will generate.

Click Next.
On the RuleApp Deployment page, select the required deployment mode (Rule Execution Server Console, file or database).

If you select to a file system, you can either accept the default destination directory, or browse and select a different one.

If you select to a database, you need to add the following details for the project:

- Driver: Select a driver from the drop-down menu.

- Driver Path: Click Browse and locate the driver path.

- URL: Enter the URL of the database.

- Login: Enter the login required to access the database.

- Password: Enter the password for this login.

Click Finish, and select the new Rule Execution Server configuration.

On the Properties page, with the Rule Execution Server configuration selected, click Finish.
Project creation starts and you are asked if you want to view the Readme file. We recommend that you say Yes to this prompt.

Your new SSP Setup client project appears in the Rule Explorer view.

Running the SSP Setup Client Project

To run an SSP Setup client project for RuleApps, you need to have installed Rule Execution Server. An eclipse launch configuration and ANT build files are provided to run the project.

The generated build.xml uses the classpaths defined in <InstallDir>/executionserver/lib/classpath-executionserver.xml to call the correct libraries.
