Jar-based Method

Filesystem-based Method

1. A sample knowledge repository is distributed with the OpenCDS deployment file (the 'war').
2. Download opencds-knowledge-repository-data.zip from the OpenCDS website | Members | Binary Downloads | at http://develop.opencds.org/OpenCDSDemo/latest/opencds-knowledge-repository-data.zip
3. Unzip it to a location on the same machine where you will be running Tomcat.
   1. NOTE: you won't have to change any configuration settings if you unzip it into "C:/OpenCDS".
   2. NOTE: There is a configuration file named "opencds-decision-support-service-config.xml" that you will need to update if you have located the sample KR somewhere other than "C:/OpenCDS".
      1. This file is found inside the exploded war file at <servletContainerPath>/opencds-decision-support-service/WEB-INF/classes
      2. it specifies a default path of "C:/OpenCDS/opencds-knowledge-repository-data/resources_v1.1"
