Menu updates

The GDE alerts you when you open graphs that use 1.13 or earlier format or that use GDE
1.13-compatible script generation.
When you open a graph that is in 1.13 or earlier format, the GDE alerts you that you should
resave the graph as Version 1.14 or later, and convert it to use Dynamic script generation rather
than GDE 1.13-compatible script generation.
When you open a graph that uses GDE 1.13-compatible script generation, the GDE alerts you
that you should convert the graph to use Dynamic script generation.
In future releases of the GDE, Ab Initio will begin to phase out support for older graphs.

In 2013, version 3.2 of the GDE will drop the ability to read the 1.13 (and older) graph formats. The
same release will officially deprecate 1.13-compatible script generation, and prevent you from
creating new graphs that use it. A subsequent release, tentatively expected in 2014, will entirely
remove support for 1.13-compatible script generation.
Please note that these changes will affect the GDE only. There is no risk to your production graphs.
New Co>Operating System releases will continue to be able to execute 1.13-compatible graph
scripts, and you'll still be able to use older GDE releases to edit the graphs and deploy the scripts.
However, you should start updating your graphs now so that you can enjoy uninterrupted access to
GDE updates.
Converting a 1.13-or-older-format graph to a newer format is a simple matter of resaving the graph.
If you find a graph in an old format, Ab Initio recommends that you simply make a backup copy and
resave, without redeploying. If your graphs are stored in the EME Technical Repository, a checked-in
version is a sufficient backup. Testing is not necessary until you need to redeploy the script.
Converting a graph to dynamic script generation can be more involved, and it does require retesting.
The following practices tend to require more attention during the conversion process:
Using parameters that have not been declared in the project or graph
Setting parameters in the graph start script
Including multiple common projects that each declare the same parameter
We recommend that, where possible, you start using dynamic script generation for new graph
development. For existing graphs, you can reduce the amount of conversion effort required by
implementing the following suggestions, even while maintaining 1.13-compatible script generation:
Define graph or project parameters, rather than adding or modifying parameters in the start
script of a graph.
If it's practical for you, use the dependency analysis feature of the EME Technical Repository to
help reveal problems with parameter use.
To assess the conversion effort, your Ab Initio administrator should speak to your account manager
and contact Ab Initio Support.
Debugging
The following improvements have been made to debugging:
When the GDE is connected to Co>Operating System Version 2.15.4 or later, the Breakpoints
toolbar and the Watchers toolbar are independent of one another and are displayed separately.
The Enable breakpoints and watchers separately option has been removed from the Debug
category of the Preferences dialog.
NOTE: If the GDE is connected to a version of the GDE earlier than 2.15.4, the single Debug toolbar is
displayed.
For more information, see GDE Toolbars in the Guide to the GDE.
When the Debugger pane iin the Transform Editor reopens, it now displays the most recently
active tab and attempts to preserve the state of its various tabs during the current GDE session.
For more information, see Debugger pane in the Guide to the GDE.

Execute Command window
The Execute Command window has been enhanced, enabling you to enter multiple commands for
execution, each in its own shell. These commands are executed on the run host to which the GDE is
connected. For more information, see Execute Command window in the Guide to the GDE.
Plans
Numerous changes have been made to the GDE to better support working with plans.
Tasks are now color-coded to improve readability, and you can display numerous detail layers
and visual cues on the plan canvas.
For more information, see Working on the canvas in the in the Guide to the GDE.
Info bubbles have been enabled for plans. For more information, see Info bubbles in the Guide
to the GDE.
There are more alternatives for inserting tasks and creating control flows directly on the plan
canvas. For more information, see Inserting components and tasks and connecting flows and
Connecting Flows in the Guide to the GDE.
Plan tracking has been enhanced, as follows:
The Tracking Details window has been updated to be more consistent with the Tracking
Details window for graphs. For more information, see Tracking Details window for plans in
the Guide to the GDE.
The File > Tracking and Output > Load and Save menu commands have been enabled for
plans, enabling you to save and load tracking data from prior runs of a plan. For more
information, see Plan tracking and output in the Conduct>It Guide and Reference.
Dataset lineage
The GDE provides a new Dataset Lineage viewer that enables you to view the lineage for EME
datasets and the graphs that read or write them. The viewer also allows you to drill down into
individual graphs to view field-level lineage. For more information, see Dataset Lineage viewer in
DML for record formats and transforms

The following improvements and additions in the GDE provide better support for DML as you create
and edit record formats and transforms:
The Import XML dialog has a new option Generate DML to File . In addition, you can now
open the Import XML dialog from the Sandbox View. For more information, see Import XML
dialog in the Guide to the GDE and How to use the generated DML in the XML Processing
Guide.
A new Use validation fields option in the Import XML Options dialog adds validation fields to the
generated DML and makes it easier to test whether incoming XML data is valid. For more
information, see "Import XML Options dialog in the Guide to the GDE.

The Evaluate DML expression pane of the Expression Editor now considers the context of
transforms and record formats of a component when you evaluate DML expressions. For more
information, see Evaluate DML expression in the Guide to the GDE.
A new Kind attribute in the Variables Editor replaces the previous Constant attribute. The Kind
attribute provides support for DMLs new Parameterized named constant. For more information,
see Variables Editor in the Guide to the GDE and Global variables and named constants in the
DML Reference.
Text view editors

New menu commands for autocompletion, outlining, and advanced editing have been added to
the Edit menu in the Transform Editor, Record Format Editor, Package Editor, and other GDE
text editors. For more information, see Text view menus in the Guide to the GDE.
The Help menu in text view editors includes a new menu command Editor Shortcuts, which
opens a help topic describing the various keyboard shortcuts you can use in the editor. For more
information, see Shortcuts for working with text editors in the Guide to the GDE.
Fonts for editor trees and grids

The Change font for trees and grid option in the Fonts/Sizes category of the Preferences dialog now
applies to the trees and grids in several GDE editors, including the Parameters Editor and the
Transform Editor. For more information, see Preferences: Fonts/Sizes category in the Dialog and
Wizard Reference.
Multiple selection in the Sandbox View

You can now select multiple items in the sandbox view. For information about the uses and
limitations of multple selections, see Using the Sandbox View in the Guide to the GDE.
Windows 8 support
The GDE is now supported on Windows 8. For more information, see System software
requirements on page 31.
Menu updates
There have been changes to menu commands in the File and View menus. For more information, see
Main menu updates on page 29.

Starting the GDE without a host connection

You can now use a command-line option to start the GDE without a host connection. For more
information, see Starting the GDE from the command line in the Guide to the GDE.
Debugging PDL
The GDE has a new PDL Debugger that enables you to debug inline DML that is contained in a PDL
construct. For more information, see PDL Debugger in the Guide to the GDE.
Evaluating DML expressions

A new pane in the Expression Editor enables you to evaluate a DML expression, similar to the way
you can perform DML evaluations using the m_eval command utility. You can immediately see the
output so that you can verify the syntax and determine the logical correctness of the expression
without having to run the graph. For more information, see Evaluate DML expression in the Guide
to the GDE.

Identifying non-breaking spaces
Non-breaking spaces that may have been inadvertently introduced typically by copying and
pasting text from another application can render transforms and record formats invalid. GDE text
editors now indicate non-breaking spaces with an notation that enables you to easily identify
and remove those invalid characters. For more information, see Non-printing characters in the
Guide to the GDE.
Finding the site of an error during DML validation

If an error is found when you validate the DML in text view of the Record Format Editor, the
Transform Editor, or the Package Editor and the error has an associated line number, the error
message box includes a new Go To Error button.
Clicking Go To Error closes the error message and automatically moves focus to the line in which
the error occurs.
Clicking OK closes the error message and leaves focus on that line.
Encrypting Package for Support files

A new preference enables you to encrypt Package for Support files. For more information, see
Creating a Package for Support file in the Graph Developers Guide.
Editing component labels

You can now edit component labels directly on the graph canvas itself, without having to open the
Properties dialog. For more information, see Customizing component labels in the Guide to the
GDE.
Managing files in the Sandbox View

New pop-up menu commands enable you to remove, rename, and copy files in the Sandbox View,
irrespective of whether the sandbox is associated with an EME technical repository. For more
information, see File-level menu commands in the Guide to the GDE.
Importing WSDL
The Options for Import WSDL dialog provides a new XML component kind setting that indicates the
type of XML component for which the Import WSDL dialog generates DML. This ensures that the
generated record format is compatible with the XML component that will be using it. For more
information, see Options for Import WSDL dialog in the Dialog and Wizard Reference.

Changing saved passwords
The Change Saved Passwords dialog has been redesigned to better identify host connections with
saved passwords. Using this dialog, you can change a password only for a host connection with a
previously saved password. You must use the Host Connection Settings dialog to create a password
for a host connection that does not have a previously saved password. For more information, see
Changing passwords for host connections in the Guide to the GDE.
Working in text view of the SQL Editor

Text view of the SQL Editor now allows you to do the following:
As you enter text, choose keywords, table names, or field names from a list of suggested
completions. For more information, see Autocompletion in text view in the Guide to the GDE.
Automatically generate a basic SQL statement for a component parameter. For more
information, see Generating default SQL in the Guide to the GDE.
Enabling EME connections

The Enable/Disable Current EME Connection menu command is now enabled, even when a graph or
plan is not open in the workspace. This lets you enable or disable the connection to the EME
technical repository for a currently open sandbox.
Preferences for plans

When a plan is the active document in the GDE workspace, only the options that apply to plans are
displayed in the Detail Layers and Appearance categories of the Preferences dialog.
Flow appearance
You can now view flow pattern symbols for only the flow patterns that have been explicitly set.
For more information, see Showing and hiding flow pattern symbols in the Guide to the GDE.
You can now choose to have flows drawn with right angles or with curves, and you can display
overlapping flows with a visual separation. For more information, see Adjusting flow display in
Profile Viewer
The title bar of Profile Viewer now provides detailed information about the location of a watcher on
which you are viewing the dataset profile. For more information see Profiling data in the Graph
Developers Guide.
Menu updates
New menu commands have been added to the Edit, Project, View, and Settings menus. For more
information, see Main menu updates.

System requirements
The .NET Framework system software requirements have been updated. For more information, see
System software requirements.

The 3.1.3 version of Ab Initio Help allows you to document your shared components and DML, and
access that content from the GDE.
For more information, see Creating Custom Help in Ab Initio Help.
Debugging
To apply breakpoints to transforms that contain parameter references, you no longer need to
switch to Resolved View in text view of the Transform Editor. Whether in grid view, text view, or
resolved view, the Transform Editor allows you to set breakpoints and debug the transform.
When you run the graph in text view the resolved statements are displayed in the Breakpoints
Reached window. For more information, see Debugging transforms in the Graph Developers
Guide.
When first opened the Breakpoints Reached window now automatically docks itself in the lower
left corner of the GDE window.
When debugging graphs, in addition to stepping into a function, you can now step out of a
function and cause the graph to resume execution until it reaches the next executable rule or
statement in a calling function. For more information, see Stepping through transforms in the
Graph Developers Guide.
Inserting components on flows

When you drag and drop a component from the Organizer onto a flow that has special treatment
compression, encryption, disabled folding, explicit fanning, or a watcher you can now control
which of the two new flows inherits the special treatment. While the mouse pointer is over the flow

that displays the icon flagging the special treatment, the insertion icon appears so that you can drop
the component on one side of the flagging icon or the other. For more information, see To insert a
component in a flow that is flagged for special treatment in the Guide to the GDE.
Online Discussion Browser

It is no longer necessary to manually install the Ab Initio Online Discussion Browser. When you
install the GDE, the Online Discussion Browser is automatically included as well, and a shortcut is
added to the Start menu. For more information, see Ab Initio Online Discussion Browser in the Ab
Initio Help.
Preferences
The Preferences dialog now includes an Apply button that enables you to apply settings for each
category without having to reopen the dialog.
Subscribe and publish to queue symbol

The graph symbol for a component that subscribes or publishes to a queue for example,
SUBSCRIBE and PUBLISH has been changed from this to this .
Tracking
The Alt+F2 keyboard shortcut now loads the most recent tracking and output files from their remote
location in the Ab Initio Environment. This enables you to use the GDE to observe the progress of a
graph started outside the GDE for example, a graph run at the command line or started by a
script. For more information, see To load and view text tracking and tracking details in the GDE in
the Graph Developers Guide.
Transform Editor
The following improvements have been made to the Transform Editor:
Text view of the Transform Editor has new optional panes showing the input and output types,
enabling you to perform drag operations as you can in grid view.
You can now delete fields from the Outputs pane.
Lookups are now displayed in the Inputs pane.
Autocompletion is now available for lookup files and lookup templates.
For more information, see Transform Editor in the Guide to the GDE.

UI support for SPLIT and COMBINE components
The GDE now enables you to configure the SPLIT and COMBINE components through a new Derived
Record Format dialog, rather than using command-line instructions through the split_dml utility. For
more information, see Deriving record formats from an existing record format in the Graph
Developers Guide.
Update Components dialog

The Update Components dialog has been redesigned to provide greater flexibility. You can now
choose which components to list all components, those that are different and need to be
updated, or those that are currently selected in the graph. In addition, you can sort the grid by
columns, and you can choose to display components in embedded subgraphs as a hierarchical tree or
flattened. For more information, see Update Components dialog in the Dialog and Wizard
Reference.
View data
The work flow for accessing the View Data window has been improved. New menu commands
enable you to open the View Data window directly for formatted or unformatted data without
first having to select settings in the View Data Options dialog. For more information, see Main
menu updates and Opening the View Data window in the Guide to the GDE.
NOTE: This changed behavior applies to viewing logs as well. For more information, see Viewing Log Files
in the Graph Developers Guide.
You can now double-click a watcher to view its data. For more information, see Opening the
View Data window in the Guide to the GDE.
You can now view the data in Ab Initio queues being processed by the SUBSCRIBE, BATCH
SUBSCRIBE, and PUBLISH components.
For more information, Viewing data from Ab Initio queues in the Graph Developers Guide.

In addition, new pages have been added, enabling you to choose whether to set up a new host
connection or use an existing host connection.
For more information, see Setup Wizard in the in the Dialog and Wizard Reference.
Recovery files
The General category of the Preferences dialog no longer includes When recovery files are found
options. When you run a graph and a recovery file already exists, the GDE detects the recovery file
immediately and asks you whether you want to roll back or resume from the last checkpoint. For
more information, see Restarting a failed graph from the GDE in the Graph Developers Guide.
Connecting flows
The GDE now enables you to delete a component with a single input flow and single output flow,
and automatically reconnect the flow to the adjacent upstream and downstream components. For
more information, see Connecting a flow when deleting a component in the Guide to the GDE.

DML error message warning level
The Advanced category of the Preferences dialog now provides a Warning level setting, which
enables you to specify the level of warning for DML expressions that will be reported during
validation. For more information, see Warning level in the Dialog and Wizard Reference.

multiline format, and all parameters. For more information, see Working with info bubbles in the
Guide to the GDE.
Micrograph deployment
You can now deploy a micrograph in an environment that differs from the one in which it was
created by using a new Deploy micrograph including all referenced files option in the Run Mode
category of the Graph Settings dialog. For more information, see Deploy micrograph including all
referenced files in the Dialog and Wizard Reference.
Scientific notation
The Record Format Editor now supports scientific notation for decimals. For more information, see

Appearance
The appearance of graphs on the GDE canvas has been improved to be more readable and more
consistent with other Ab Initio applications:
There is a new Ab Initio default color theme, and components are now color-coded and have
distinctive shapes to help you identify their purpose and usage.
NOTE: The color theme is automatically applied to graphs created with earlier versions of the GDE,
including previously customized colors.
Icons for to-do cues, keys, and so forth are positioned at consistent locations on components,
and the display of these details is now controlled by the viewer rather than the author of the
graph.
Linked subgraphs now have an identifying overlay icon so that you can easily distinguish
them from embedded subgraphs.
Graphs better maintain their appearance when scaled.

For more information, see in the Guide to the GDE.
Legacy graphs
While GDE Version 3.1.1 attempts to preserve the approximate look of older graphs, it cannot
display them the way older GDEs displayed them.
When you open a graph that was created with a version of the GDE earlier than Version 3.1.1, it will
be displayed using the new style. In addition, any graph settings that controlled the view of the graph
including to-do cues, optional ports, layouts, propagation, phase breaks, and so forth will be
ignored. Those settings are now controlled by preferences that apply to all graphs opened in the
workspace.
Older graphs may be arranged in such a way that when viewed in GDE Version 3.1.1 components
overlap or legends do not retain their original relative positions. You should rearrange components
and legends and straighten flows so that the graph elements are laid out as you want them. The next
time you open the graph, your changes will be retained.
If you resave the graph to its original format and reopen it in the earlier version of the GDE, the
original graph settings will be preserved, but the arrangement of the elements on the canvas may be
altered. You may once again need to straighten flows or make other adjustments. For more
information, Saving graphs across GDE versions in the Graph Developers Guide.
Detail layers
The GDE provides new preferences and menu commands controlling the level of detail displayed on
the canvas. Detailed information includes such things as to-do cues, tracking data, port names, flow
names, phases, legends, the outer frames, and so forth. Rather than being stored as part of a graph,
these detail layers apply to all the graphs and to some extent to plans that are open in the GDE
workspace. You can choose how many or how few details to display on the canvas, keeping the view
as simple as possible. For more information, see Displaying detail layers in the Guide to the GDE.
Info bubbles
The GDE now includes an option that enables you to display interactive info bubbles on the canvas
when the mouse pointer hovers over a component. The info bubble provides the most important
information about a component at a glance. From the info bubble, you can do the following:
See a digest of all the component information at once
Open the editor for a transform, record format, key, parameter, or reusable dataset
Connect optional ports of the component without having to show optional ports everywhere
Jump to the component that is the source of a propagated record format or layout
Jump to the linked subgraph that is the source of a subgraph component
Open help for the component
Open the Properties dialog for the component
For more information, see Info bubbles in the Guide to the GDE.

Inserting and connecting components and flows
The canvas has been redesigned to make it easier to drag and connect a flow from a port of one
component to a port of another.
You can automatically connect a component by dragging it from the Organizer and dropping it
on a port of another component.
You can insert a component in the middle of an existing flow by dragging it from the Organizer
and dropping it in the middle of the flow. This severs the original flow and connects two new
flows to the new components first input and output ports.
You can drag a flow and drop it onto the middle of an existing component to display a list of all
available ports, where you can select the one you want to connect to. This eliminates the need to
always display optional ports.
You can add components to a graph so that they are automatically placed in logical positions.
You do this by selecting a component on the canvas and then, in the Organizer, double-clicking
the next component in the sequence.
For more information, see Inserting components and connecting flows in the Guide to the GDE.
Canvas Overview window

The GDE includes a Canvas Overview window that displays a miniaturized view of the entire canvas.
Using this window, you can pan and zoom the graph or plan. For more information, see Canvas
Overview window in the Guide to the GDE.
Help
The GDE online help is now delivered as a separate installable module to be included as part of
the new Ab Initio Help Library. The Help Library is a server-side Web application that hosts the
help for all of your Ab Initio software in one central location, which can be regularly updated with
the most recent Ab Initio help content. This centralized Help Library provides easy access and
allows you to search the entire Help Library. Your Ab Initio administrator will install and
configure the help on a designated server.
NOTE: This new delivery mechanism has reduced the size of the GDE installer package by 40%.
The GDE main window now includes a Help search box. When you type a string in the box and
press Enter, the Ab Initio Help Library opens and displays a list of topics that match the search.
Text view editors

Text view editors automatically suggest possible completions of characters and symbols as you
type. The choices are based on context and can include DML reserved words, function names,
field names, and parameter names. The autocompletion feature is controlled by a new preference
in the Preferences: Text Editor category, or you can use the Ctrl+space keyboard shortcut to
display the pop-up list of possible options. For more information, see Autocompletion in text
view in the Guide to the GDE.

Text view editors now enable you to easily find the definition of the user-defined DML function,
type, or global variable near the cursor in the text editor. This is particularly useful in cases where
those are defined in some other file, such as AB_INCLUDE_FILES. You can access the Go to
definition menu command from the Edit menu, from the pop-up menu, or by pressing F12.
Text view of the Transform Editor now includes a new Edit > Edit Expression menu command,
which opens the Expression Editor where you can create DML expressions.
Grid view editors

The Expression Editor and Transform Editor now display icons next to each field in the Input
pane. The icons indicate the type of the field record, string, numeric, date, and date/time. For
more information, see Expression Editor and Transform Editor in the Guide to the GDE.
The Transform Editor, Package Editor, Expression Editor, and Key Specifier Editor now each
include Search fields that enable you to easily find fields, symbols, or functions that match the
characters you type.
For more information, in the Guide to the GDE, see:
Searching in grid view
Searching in the Package Editor
Searching in Expression Editor
Searching in the Key Specifier Editor
Docking windows
The GDE provides enhanced functionality for docking or floating windows in the GDE workspace.
You can dock windows to the edge of the GDE workspace, to edges of other windows in the
workspace, or to each other in clusters that can be floated as a single unit. You can also hide docked
windows so that they appear as tabs along the edge of the GDE workspace. For more information,
see Docking or floating windows in the GDE in the Guide to the GDE.
Organizer
The Component Organizer has been renamed Organizer. It displays the list of available components
or plan tasks, and now features a search field that enables you to type in names or keywords to
quickly display components you are looking for. For more information, see Searching the Organizer
in the Guide to the GDE.
Sandbox View
The Sandbox View pane now includes a search field that enables you to type characters to quickly
find objects in the sandbox. For more information, see Searching in the Sandbox View in the Guide
to the GDE.

Dependency Analysis Viewer
A new Dependency Analysis Viewer enables you to view the data lineage for a component. Within a
graph, the view shows how each value is derived (upstream dependencies) and where it applies
subsequently (downstream dependencies, or impacts). This view makes it easy to fix dependency
analysis errors. You access the viewer by right-clicking a component and choosing Show
dependencies from the pop-up menu. For more information, see Dependency Analysis Viewer in
Reusable datasets
The GDE now allows you to create and use preconfigured, reusable datasets, which provide easy
access to data. Reusable datasets are usually created in common projects and shared among
developers working on a project. In the technical repository, reusable datasets participate in
dependency analysis and lineage. For more information, see Reusable datasets in the Graph
Developers Guide.
Custom validation
The GDE reports issues found by validation extensions (or validation tests) created by your Ab Initio
architect to test whether your graph meets the standards and best practices of your organization.
The GDE reports these issues on the Validation tab of the Application Output window, just as it
reports other validation errors. For more information, see Validation extensions in the Graph
Developers Guide.
Landed SQL
You can now use external SQL files when specifying data on the Table Properties dialogs Data tab
for components such as INPUT TABLE. For more information, see Using databases in graphs in the
Graph Developers Guide.
Ab Initio Environment data directories

By default, only the owner of the project directories above the $AI_TEST_FLAG level is allowed to
create data directories. Unless your Ab Initio administrator has configured your environment to
ignore the data directory owner, you must ask your administrator to create the data directories for
any private sandbox you create. For more information, see Creating data directories from the GDE
in the Ab Initio Environment Guide and Reference.
Performance
Using functionality provided by Application Hub Version 3.1.1, the GDE compresses streamed data.
This compression improves runtime performance, including such things as the dynamic display of
graph tracking information. This is particularly helpful over slow connections.

View Data Unformatted
The View > Data Unformatted dialog and menu command are obsolete and have been removed
from the GDE. You can continue to view unformatted data by choosing View > Data and then, in the
Interpret As field of the View Data Options dialog Display tab, selecting Unformatted Records. For
more information, see View Data Options:Display tab in the Dialog and Wizard Reference.
Menu commands
Changes have been made to the Edit, Insert, Run, Settings, and View menu commands on the
GDE menu bar. For more information, see Main menu updates on page 29.
In the context menu for the Sandbox View, the Include Common Project menu command has
been changed to Include Common Sandbox, and the Stop Including Common Project menu
command has been changed to Stop Including Common Sandbox.
New Edit menu commands have been added for the text view of the Transform Editor and the
Record Format Editor:
Go To Definition

Installing and upgrading the GDE
This section describes prerequisites and instructions for installing and upgrading the GDE. It includes
the following sections:
Prerequisites
Installing the GDE
Additional setup
Upgrading the GDE
Troubleshooting
Running a silent installation
Prerequisites
The following sections describe the prerequisites and considerations to be aware of before you install
the GDE.
System requirements
Ensure that you have reviewed and met the product requirements defined in Requirements on
page 31.
Exit applications
Before installing the software, exit all running instances of the GDE, as well as any associated
windows such as Ab Initio Help. In addition, we strongly recommend that you exit all other
applications.
Working with Microsoft .NET

Do not install the GDE on a network drive. Doing so creates a privilege issue for GDE features that
were developed with Microsoft .NET, including View Data, Tracking, Salesforce Editor, and SQL
Editors. This .NET "managed code" does not have sufficient privileges to run in the Local Intranet
Zone.
Instead, install the GDE on a local drive.
If you must install the GDE on a network drive, alter the .NET security policy to grant Full Trust
privileges to gde.exe. This operation requires administrator privileges.

Installing the GDE under Citrix or Windows Terminal Server
If the GDE is installed under Citrix or Windows Terminal Server, your Ab Initio and Citrix/Terminal
Server administrators must ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
The Windows server operating systems must be compatible with the GDE.
An Ab Initio key server must be configured to provide keys to all users who will be running the
GDE on this server. Computer keys are not supported.
For more information, your Ab Initio and Citrix/Terminal Server administrators should refer to the
Ab Initio Key Server Installation and Administration Guide.
The user's Windows account should be configured for a roaming user profile.
The user's GDE session must have read/write access to the registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Ab Initio.
The user's GDE session must have read/write access to the following directories:
The directory where host connection files (.aic files) are stored. For example:
C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\My Documents\Ab Initio\Hosts
This location is designated in the Host connection locations field of the General category in
the GDE Preferences dialog.
The Ab Initio directory under the special directory called CSIDL_APPDATA. For example:
C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Application Data\Ab Initio
The Ab Initio directory under the special directory called CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA. For
example:
C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Local Settings\Application
Data\Ab Initio
Installing the GDE

To install from a CD-ROM or download site:
Run gde_3_1_5.msi in the Ab Initio GDE directory.

You can install the GDE in any local destination. During the installation setup, you are given three
options for the location of the installation folder:

Installation folder Description
C:\Program Files(x86)\Ab Initio\Ab Initio The recommended location. By default, this

GDE 3.1.5\ option installs the GDE in a location identified
by its version number. This option makes it
easier to manage side-by-side installations of
different versions of the GDE.
C:\Program Files\Ab Initio\ This option installs the GDE in a folder that has
Ab Initio GDE\ no specified version number. You may want
use this option to install the new version of the
GDE over the version that already exists at this
location. This allows you to preserve and
maintain existing proprietary files that you
have created.
Other location This option lets you install the GDE in any
folder on your system. This option also enables
you to install the new version of the GDE over
the version that already exists in the
designated location.
Additional setup
In addition to installing the GDE you should also install the Ab Initio Help Library and the computer-
based training module.
Ab Initio Help Library Ab Initio Help is no longer distributed with the GDE. If help (F1) is not
working for you, your Ab Initio administrator may not have installed and configured it yet. Refer
the administrator to the Ab Initio Help Library Installation Guide.
Training If you want to install the training module, Graph Development Basics, refer your
administrator to the GraphDevBasics_ReleaseNotes.txt file and the Computer Based Training
Setup Guide included in the download package. After the Graph Development Basics training
module is visible in the help table of contents, open it and follow the instructions in the
introduction to complete the installation and setup.
Upgrading the GDE

We recommend that when upgrading you install the GDE in a new directory, not in a directory
containing an earlier version. The installer displays a suggested installation directory that contains
the GDE version number. This enables you to install multiple versions of the GDE side by side.
If you do choose to install the GDE in the same directory as an earlier version, after confirmation the
installer will uninstall the earlier version before installing the new one.

Troubleshooting
This section provides troubleshooting information for installing and upgrading the GDE:
If GDE files are in use
Completing the installation if automatic rollback is disabled
Installation logs
If GDE files are in use

If any of the files in an existing GDE installation are in use, the installer may display a Files In Use
dialog. Shut down all listed Ab Initio applications and click Retry. If you click Ignore to continue the
installation while Ab Initio files or programs are open, the installer will prompt you to reboot the
system upon completion.
Completing the installation if automatic rollback is disabled

If your Ab Initio administrator has disabled the installers automatic rollback feature, the installer
may be unable to complete all the steps in the installation. Your Ab Initio administrator must
manually complete these steps at the conclusion of the installation.
To complete the installation:
1. Using Run as administrator, open a Command Prompt window.

2. At the command prompt, enter the following:
cd "C:\Program Files\Ab Initio\Ab Initio GDE 3.1.n\Program Files"
gde.exe /regserver
regsvr32 sapcustomeditor.dll
If the GDE cannot be properly installed, send the installation log files to support@abinitio.com. For
more information, see Installation logs next.
Installation logs
If the installer encounters a problem, you can use the two log files listed in the following table to
help debug the problem:
Name of the log file Location

abtrace_msi_gde.run %TEMP%
For example:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\

Local Settings\Temp
your_msi_logfile_name defined in the [your_path] defined in the msiexec command

msiexec command below below
The Ab Initio abtrace_msi_gde.run log file is automatically generated.

You must generate the msi log file by rerunning the installation using the following command:
msiexec /i gde_3_1_5.msi /lvx* [your_path]\your_msi_logfile_name
Send the two files to support@abinitio.com.
Running a silent installation

You can run a silent installation either to a default location or to a specified location. For information
about further options, see the Microsoft documentation describing the Microsoft Windows Installer.
To run a silent installation of the GDE at the default location:
Execute the following command:

msiexec /i gde_3_1_5.msi /qn
This command installs the GDE in the following location:
C:\Program Files\Ab Initio\Ab Initio GDE 3.1.5
NOTE: The installation location is defined by the version number of the GDE.
To run a silent installation of the GDE at a specified location:
Execute a command with a defined installation path. For example:

msiexec /i gde_3_1_5.msi /qn INSTALLDIR="N:\Ab Initio\GDE 3.1.5"
This command installs the GDE in the specified location:
N:\Ab Initio\GDE 3.1.5
