Edit the Configuration Files

You configure Knowledge Discovery components by manually editing the appropriate configuration file.

The configuration file that you use depends on your setup:

  • In most cases, OpenText recommends that you configure and deploy Knowledge Discovery components separately. In this case, each component has its own configuration file, which by default has the same name as the component executable file. For example, the Content component is content.exe and the configuration file is content.cfg.

  • In simple testing deployments, you can use a unified configuration. In this case, you configure Content, Category, Community, and View, as well as the Proxy component by using the unified configuration file (idolserver.cfg).

    NOTE: In the unified configuration, the Agentstore component is still configured separately, in the agentstore.cfg. The Agentstore component is a specially configured Content component for storing agents and categories.

    For more information about unified configuration, refer to the Knowledge Discovery Getting Started Guide.

For more information about the unified configuration file, see Unified Configuration File.
