Starting the designers

You can open Rule Designer, Event Designer or Insight Designer from the start menu shortcut, or by starting the Eclipse that contains them.

About this task

By default, the Rule and Event designer open in the locale of your operating system. If you want to change the locale, see Opening the designers in a specific locale.

Procedure

To open the Rule Designer for example, do one of the following actions:
  • Click Start > All Programs > IBM > package_group > Rule Designer 8.8.

    package_group refers to the package group specified in IBM® Installation Manager during installation. The default package group is Operational Decision Manager V8.8.0.

  • Start the Eclipse in which you have installed Rule Designer, and switch to the Rule perspective.

Results

On IBM AIX® and SUN Solaris, Rule Designer and Event Designer run in headless Eclipse. This means that you can only start them from the command line.

If you have used a previous version of Rule Designer or Event Designer, perform a full clean and then rebuild your existing projects in the Eclipse workspace the first time you start V8.8.0.

The Eclipse Welcome page (Help > Welcome) provides an entry point to the overview, tutorials, and samples.
