Getting Started With the xMatters Developer IDE

The xMatters Developer IDE is designed to help developers create custom Action Scripts for the xMatters relevance engine. xMatters provides an integrated development environment (IDE) called the xMatters Developer IDE that you can use to create Action Scripts.

To create an Action Script, you must install the xMatters Developer IDE, and build the script based on the Script Packages.

Using the xMatters Developer IDE

The workspace in the xMatters Developer IDE is divided into two panes:

You can drag the border between the panes to resize them.

Saving your workspace

You can save your progress at any time by saving the state of your workspace. This does not save your scripts and Script Packages to the database, but allows you to restore your workspace at another time, or to revert to the current state.

To save your workspace:
  1. In the Workspace pane, select the Workspace folder.
  2. Click File > Save All.

Once you have saved your workspace, you can restore to the saved state at any time by clicking File > Revert. Note that this will discard any changes since the last time you saved your workspace.
