Samples
Running the Avitek Sample You can see Liquid Data in action by running the Avitek Sample. Before you can run the Samples you need to make sure that the Samples are installed, the Samples database has been populated by running the First-Time Samples Configuration, and the Samples server is running. For details, see the Installation Guide and Next Steps: What to Do After Installing.
Run the Sample! The Samples Web page is always located at the following URL where `HostName` is the name or IP address of the Samples server: http://HostName:7001/ldsample/index.htm When the Samples server is running on your local host, open a Web browser and go to this URL to run the sample: http://localhost:7001/ldsample/index.htm On Windows platforms, you can also start the Sample by choosing: StartProgramsBEA WebLogic Platform 7.0 BEA Liquid Data 1.0Liquid Data SamplesOpen Samples Home.
Getting Started: Learn How to Construct Order Query Getting Started walks you through the same process we used to create and test the Order Query in the Avitek Sample. This is an easy way to get your feet wet. Shows you how to configure data sources, build a data view, generate a query, and run it in Liquid Data. Go to Getting Started More Samples and Readmes Ready for more Query examples? The samples directory in your Liquid Data installation provides more pre-built queries for you to walk through and tinker with. Each sample includes a readme that describes the business scenario addressed, details on how the query was built, project files and schemas, and instructions for running the query. To find these samples, look in the directory `WL_Home/liquiddata/samples/buildQuery/` on the system where Liquid Data is installed. We suggest starting with the readme. Here is a list of query samples available in the `samples/buildQuery` directory. Copies of the the readmes are also provided here for you to browse: Data Transformation and Aggregation Sample Readme DB-AppView-XML Sample Query Readme DB-Web Service Sample Query Readme Data View Sample Query Readme DB-XML Sample Query Readme DB-DB Sample Query Readme DB-AppView-XML Sample Query Readme Custom Functions (DB-UDF) Sample Query Readme The installed samples directory (`WL_Home/liquiddata/samples/`) also provides viewlet demos on working with Web services as well as administration features like implementing security and working with the Liquid Data Repository. An EJB API programming example is also included.
