Initializing help system before first use

Developer Prerequisites

To get the best from this chapter, you should have access to hosted versions of Xpress Insight and Xpress Workbench. They will typically either be hosted on your own on-premises infrastructure, or on the FICO Analytic Cloud (FAC).

Note: If you are using the desktop version of Xpress Workbench, there are some minor differences when compared to the hosted version. With a few common-sense accommodations, you will still be able to follow the exercises and progression of this chapter.

You should also:
  • Be familiar with Mosel (at least able to read simple models), HTML and XML. View Definition Language (VDL) is largely composed of a set of HTML extensions.
  • Have some experience of programming and the usual edit-compile-run development cycles.

More advanced use of Xpress Insight will benefit from a good knowledge of JavaScript and further experience with Mosel.
