Starting Sybase CEP Studio on Windows

A description of the different methods you can use to start Sybase CEP Studio.

1. Click the Start button in the Microsoft Windows taskbar to open the Start menu, and then select the Sybase CEP Studio option from the appropriate submenu of the Programs menu.

   By default, Sybase CEP Studio appears in the Studio submenu of the Sybase submenu under Programs.

2. Double-click theSybase CEP Studio icon on your Desktop.
3. Enter the following command in a Command Prompt window, where InstallDir is where you installed Sybase CEP Studio:

   InstallDir\Studio\bin\c8_studio.exe
   

   If you start Sybase CEP Studio from a Command Prompt window, you can use either or both of the following parameters to modify its behavior:

   -r=<folder_path> or --repository=<folder_path>

   Use the folder specified with folder_path as the SybaseC8Repository. The SybaseC8Repository is where Sybase CEP Studio stores files containing preference and configuration information, a temporary directory, a directory containing SSL configuration information, and the examples directory. By default, the Sybase Repository is Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\SybaseC8Repository\vers, where user is the name of the user who installed Sybase CEP Studio, and vers is the version number of Sybase CEP Engine.

   --dont-copy-examples

   Start Sybase CEP Studio without copying the examples directory from the installation directory to the SybaseC8Repository. Without this parameter, Sybase CEP Studio searches for the examples directory in the SybaseC8Repository and copies it from the installation directory if it doesn't already exist there. Use this parameter to save space when you don't need access to the examples.
