Installing an EMS Package

Go Up to Extending the EMS Server‎

You can install a new EMS Package in the EMS Server (loading EMS Resources to extend its functionalities), in order to test them in a developer environment or deploy them in a real scenario.

Installing an EMS Package for Testing

To install EMS Packages in the EMS Developer Server that is delivered with RAD Studio:

1. In the Project Manager right-click the EMS Package project and select Options > Debugger
2. Make sure that the following parameters for the target platform are set:
   • Host application:
     • 32-bits Windows applications: $(BDS)\bin\EMSDevServer.exe
     • 64-bits Windows applications: $(BDS)\bin64\EMSDevServer.exe
   • Parameters: -l$(TargetName)
3. Click the OK button.
4. To run the project, right-click it and select Run or just press F9.

If the EMS Server registers successfully the new resource, you can see a message in the EMS Server Log (in the EMS Server Window):

{"Load":{"Filename":"C:\Users\esvmw7prox64\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\Projects\.\Win32\Debug\Project2.bpl"}}
{"RegUnit":{"Filename":"C:\Users\esvmw7prox64\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\Projects\.\Win32\Debug\Project2.bpl","Filename":"Unit1"}}
{"RegResource":{"Resource":"sample","Endpoints":["Get","GetItem","PostUpdates","PutItem","DeleteItem"]}}
