Installing Workbench

Workbench is an integrated development environment (IDE), designed to simplify and speed up development of applications to model your data. With Workbench on your desktop, you can manage projects on the server and test and visually examine your data flows and processes. In addition, Workbench provides one point of entry for all your Diver data servers, consolidating the tasks of developing, testing, and managing multiple data projects. The Workbench installation process closes all open instances of Workbench, so be sure to save any unsaved changes in Workbench before installing or updating Workbench.

NOTE: You need to be an administrative user to install the software.

Complete the following steps:

  1. Navigate to the DI\Solution\downloads directory.
  2. Double-click the Workbench-Setup.exe file.

    The User Account Control dialog box opens, asking you to confirm that you want to make changes to your device.
