Run Initial Data Admin Configuration
Use the following procedure to configure Data Admin after installation.
To configure Data Admin
-
Run Data Admin once without a
config.json
file in your Data Admin home directory. When it runs the first time, Data Admin generates a default configuration file.NOTE: By default, the installer stores the IDA home directory in the
ProgramData
folder, which might be hidden by default in Windows. -
Open the generated
config.json
file in a text editor and find the generated default user name and password (login.defaultLogin.username
andlogin.defaultLogin.password
). -
In your web browser, go to
http://Hostname:Port
, whereHostname
is the IP address or name of the machine on which Data Admin is installed, andPort
is the port that you have installed Data Admin on (for example,8080
). -
Log in using the default user name and password from the configuration file.
The Settings page opens.
-
Fill in the details of your backend components. Click Test Connection for each server to confirm that a connection can be established from the Data Admin server.
You might need different components depending on whether you want to set up and use Search Optimizer, Answer Bank, or both. For the list of required components, see Required Knowledge Discovery Components.
-
(Optional) In the Search Engine section, set a URL to use to send queries to an external search engine. This search engine is used by the Answer Bank user interface when a user uses the Search Web options.
