If you have read the first topic, you should know enough of the basic StreamBase terms and concepts to start the tutorial.
In the tutorial, we will build and run a very simple application that takes a stream of stock trade data, and selects from them only trades above a certain number of shares. We will also create a feed simulator that enters test data into the running application, so that we can verify whether the application works as expected.
Let's begin by starting StreamBase Studio.
If you are running the StreamBase Trial kit, a license file was automatically e-mailed to you when you downloaded the kit. The license for the full version is e-mailed to you by a StreamBase Systems representative.
You can run StreamBase Studio and design applications without a license
file, but before you can run or debug applications in Studio, your license file must
be copied to the etc directory of your installation.
For details, see Configuring a
StreamBase License.

Choose a workspace
A workspace is a directory in your file system that contains the projects, files, and other resources that you create with StreamBase Studio. You might maintain several workspaces, each with a different development focus, or used with a different version of StreamBase.
Click to open StreamBase Studio using the workspace path that is loaded in your launcher. If you are opening StreamBase for the first time, a new workspace is created, initialized with default StreamBase Studio settings. If you are using an existing workspace, all your files and any customized settings are preserved from the last time you used it.
Alternatively, before clicking you can click to switch to a different, existing workspace, or enter the name of a new directory to create a new workspace.
