You can use other development environments, or you can work directly from the command line to build applications.
Most developers who build Sybase CEP applications will use the to create and execute query modules on Sybase CEP Server. provides an easy-to-use graphical user interface for editing, debugging and testing queries. Sybase CEP Studio automatically interfaces most of the various components of the for the developer.
However, some developers may need to create and deploy their Sybase CEP applications from either another development environment (such as a scripting or programming language) or from the command line. Although these approaches require more detailed knowledge of the interaction between the components, the flexibility of Sybase CEP Engine may offset this disadvantage.
In order to deploy a application, you must be able to do the following:
Start Sybase CEP Server.
Access a running .
Create a workspace on the Sybase CEP Server.
Create a query module and its associated schema files.
Compile the query module using the Compiler.
Execute the query module on the Sybase CEP Server.
Stop the query module on the .
Stop the Sybase CEP Server and clean up its resources.
These tasks are executed using programs described later in this manual. Some SDKs include functions or methods to do some of these operations, such as compiling and executing a query module.
