"Running an xml process file with the API"

emolano

Hi there,
I have an xml process file. It runs fine with the rapidminer GUI. Is it possible to run it from a java application using the API?
I know one could be rewrite the process using the API
something like  inputOperator = OperatorService.createOperator("DatabaseExampleSource");
      // set parameters
      inputOperator.setParameter("database_system", "MySQL"); ...

but I just want to run my existing xml process file within an eclipse project.

Thanks. Help is appreciated.

Hello emolano

I assume you have read chapter 7 of the tutorial.pdf.

The requested can be perform like this:

File processFile = new File("d:/test.xml");
if (!processFile.exists()){throw new Exception("File '" + processFile.getAbsolutePath()+ "' does not exist!");}
Process process = RapidMiner.readProcessFile(processFile);
IOContainer input = new IOContainer();
IOContainer output = process.run(input);

hope this was helpful

regards,

Steffen

Thanks. It woks fine.
Here my code with the init part:


import java.io.File;
import com.rapidminer.Process;
import com.rapidminer.RapidMiner;
import com.rapidminer.operator.*;


public class executeXMLModel {

  public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {
 
  String modelFile="C:/Documents and Settings/emolano/My Documents/rm_workspace/mining/platform/xmlModel.xml";

  // set properties to point to plugin directory
      String pluginDirString = new File("C:\\Program_Files\\Rapid-I\\RapidMiner\\lib\\plugins").getAbsolutePath();
      System.setProperty(RapidMiner.PROPERTY_RAPIDMINER_INIT_PLUGINS_LOCATION, pluginDirString);
      // set properties - rapid miner home
      String path="C:\\Program Files\\Rapid-I\\RapidMiner\\";
  System.setProperty("rapidminer.home",path );
 
      // initialization
  RapidMiner.init(false, true, true, true);
 
  File processFile = new File(modelFile);
  if (!processFile.exists()){throw new Exception("File '" + processFile.getAbsolutePath()+ "' does not exist!");}
  Process process = RapidMiner.readProcessFile(processFile);
  IOContainer input = new IOContainer();
  IOContainer output = process.run(input);
       
  }
}
