Downloading and configuring the Component SDK

The Studio Component SDK is available with the Studio installer.

Before installing the Component SDK, download and unzip EID_<version>_Studio_portal.zip, as described in the Studio portion of the Oracle Endeca Information Discovery Installation Guide. This is the base Studio code, upon which the Component SDK depends. You do not have to start Studio.

Note: Do not install the Component SDK in a directory path that contains spaces.

Note: On Windows, for steps b and d below, backslashes in paths must be escaped. That is, use a path similar to the following:

portal.base.dir=C:\\my_folder\\EID-portal

instead of:

portal.base.dir=C:\my_folder\EID-portal

To install the Component SDK:

Download and unzip EID_<version>_Studio_components_sdk.zip to a separate directory.
This is the Component SDK itself.
Perform the following steps within the Component SDK:
1. Create a file components/build.<user>.properties
  where <user> is the user name with which you logged on to this machine.
2. Within that properties file, add a single property portal.base.dir=<absolute_path_to_portal>
  where <absolute_path_to_portal> is the path to the unzipped EID_<version>_Studio_portal.zip.
3. Create a shared.properties file in the shared/ directory.
4. Edit shared/shared.properties and set the single property portal.base.dir=<absolute_path_to_portal>
  where <absolute_path_to_portal> is the path to the unzipped EID_<version>_Studio_portal.zip.
