Developer Studio is useful by itself for creating instance
configuration XML files you need for your Endeca application. You may also
split application maintenance tasks between a Developer Studio user and a Web
Studio user.
You can use Developer
Studio in two ways: on its own, or in conjunction with Endeca Workbench.
- You can use Developer Studio
on its own to generate the instance configuration XML files needed to run your
Endeca application. After Developer Studio generates the XML files, you can
incorporate them into EAC scripts or applications that run and manage the
Endeca application.
- You can use Developer Studio
in conjunction with Oracle Endeca Workbench. In this scenario, a technical user
of Developer Studio shares the application maintenance tasks with a Workbench
user. If you intend to use Workbench, you need to use the emgr_update utility
to access the configuration files created in Developer Studio. In particular,
emgr_update can be used in your custom EAC scripts or applications that run and
manage the Endeca application.
