Running a pipeline

This task describes the steps you use to run your basic pipeline.

The Basic Pipeline template does not contain a source data file. Therefore, before you run the Basic Pipeline, make sure you have created an incoming directory that contains source data. Alternatively, you can use the incoming directory in the sample_wine_data reference implementation.

See the Endeca Workbench Administrator’s Guide for more details on running a pipeline under the Endeca Application Controller.

To run a pipeline:

  1. In Endeca Workbench, provision your application and its components to the EAC Central Server, as documented in the Endeca Workbench Administrator’s Guide.
  2. In Developer Studio, use the Tools > Endeca Workbench menu option to send your instance configuration to Endeca Workbench by using the Set Instance Configuration option.
  3. In Endeca Workbench, run a baseline update script to process your data and start the MDEX Engine (optionally, you can run a baseline update script using the eaccmd utility, or the custom Web services interface).
