Week 1 Day 2: Training on ECL

The goal for this week is to complete training on ECL, download all the required software to access NLP++ plugins, and run it on local editor i.e. VisualText.

Today, I completed the first three course menu under “Introduction to ECL (Part 1)”. By doing this, I could able to accomplish the following tasks:

  • Downloaded ECL IDE and client tools for Windows
  • Downloaded tools for Windows 64 bit
  • Turned the Hyper-V windows features on in my PC to access HPCC Virtual Machine (VM)
  • Downloaded compatible version of Hyper-V i.e. version 8.2 to access the VM
  • Learned three different ways to access ECL IDE through tutorial videos
  • Learned about two types of clusters:
    • Thor (Data refinery)
      • ECL agent (HThor)
    • Roxie (Rapid data delivery engine)

With this, I completed my training on ECL lesson 01.

Things that I had issued with

While following the ECL video tutorials I faced some issues which are listed below:

  • After downloading Hyper-V I could able to open Hyper-V Manager, but when I clicked on “import virtual machine” under the “action” menu and selected the path where I downloaded Hyper-V. I received the following error message as in fig.1.

I used another way and I can now see the name of my PC added as a VM and I am able to connect to “Windows 10 MSIX packaging environment” through my PC.
