Description


The Apama Analytics Builder Block SDK and Apama EPL Apps Tools are no longer supported natively on Windows environments.

The new approach is to use the community-maintained Apama Extension for Microsoft Visual Studio Code which provides a productive development environment for writing EPL, including a workflow for starting Apama application on Windows using a Dev Container using WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux).

Alternatively, in the short term, it is possible to continue using Apama 10.15 and the rel/y2025 branch of the respective repositories; however, customers are encouraged to transition to the new approach when possible.
