The Analytica Decision Engine (ADE) is a powerful COM component that helps you to access Analytica models via a program. ADE lets you run any Analytica model on a server computer. It provides an Application Programming Interface (API) through which other application programs can create, read, check, parse, evaluate, modify, and save Analytica models. For example, you can create a user interface accessible via a web browser so that users can run Analytica models as web applications. Or you can use ADE to access your Analytica model from another application that can supply inputs, run the model, and collect and display results.
This is the user guide for ADE and contains information about how to install and use ADE.
How to use this document
Under each page's title the page's hierarchy and any parent pages will be listed. The pages in the guide can be read in any order, but for those who want to read the guide sequentially there are Previous and Next links at the bottom of each page which will take the reader through all of the guide's pages in order.
At the bottom of each page there is also a Navbox that will list all of the contents of the guide so any page in the guide will be accessible from any other page in the guide.
Contents of the ADE User Guide
Introduction to Analytica Decision Engine
This chapter explains what ADE is and how to use the ADE Server.
Installation of ADE
This chapter explains the steps required to install ADE 4.6 on your Windows NT 4 (>SP 6), 2000, XP, or Vista computer.
The Analytica Decision Engine Tutorial
This chapter shows you how to use ADE from within a Visual Basic program, and steps you through building your first ADE application using Visual Basic.
Using the Analytica Decision Engine Server
This chapter provides a step-by-step guide to the functionality accessible through ADE. You should read this section to get better acquainted with the classes, and their methods and properties. By using the sample code fragments presented in this section in your code, you can begin accessing information in your models from your Visual Basic applications immediately.
