This topic describes how to set up the Retail Dataspace Sample Application after completing the installation of ALDSP.
A prerequisite to configuring the retail dataspace sample application is to have the ALDSP Data Services Studio installed on a supported platform.
 | ALDSP Installation Guide |
This tutorial uses the version of Eclipse that is installed with ALDSP.
 | The Eclipse framework often provides multiple ways of achieving same result. In many cases there is no "correct" or "better" way. In other words, there are often many paths to the same results. |
Open the Data Services Studio using the following Windows Start menu command:
Start > All Programs > BEA Products > AquaLogic Data Services Platform 3.0 > Data Services Studio
 | In some cases the AquaLogic Data Services Platform 3.0 option may not be nested in the BEA Products section. If this is the case just proceed; it is not a problem. |
ALDSP projects are called dataspace projects. These projects in turn are located in a workspace folder.
The first step in creating a dataspace is to select a workspace.
- Use the default location:
C:\bea92mp2\aldsp_3.0\samples\workspaces\aldsp
- Click
.
If this is the first time you have opened Studio, the ALDSP Welcome screen appears.
In the Install Sample Application section click on:
Retail Dataspace Sample
 | Important Make sure your domain changed from the Workshop sample domain to the ALDSP samples domain, as shown in the steps in the table below. |
Some simple domain server configuration is required. These steps are described in the following table. (The path information in the table below may be truncated in your browser. Click and select to view the entire path.

Workspace is built (this may take a few minutes). |
Your server should now be properly configured for ALDSP and ready to be started.
An ALDSP-enabled server is a version of WebLogic Server with additional functionality to support ALDSP deployment and runtime. The ALDSP server must be running in order to access sample data and to deploy your project.
To start your server from Studio:
- Locate the Servers window. If it isn't visible, use the following option command:
Window > Show View > Servers
- In the Server window locate BEA WebLogic Server v 9.2@localhost (this may be the only server listed). Its status is: stopped.
- Right-click on the server name and select Start. (The start-up operation can take several minutes.) Notice the running log of server startup actions in the Console window.

- After your project has automatically deployed (assuming default settings of Data Services Studio), the dataspace deployment status dialog is displayed. Click:
