Most configuration changes are made in the Administration Console, which is an easy to use web interface. However, you must manually modify the configuration store to do some advanced configuration changes.
You can edit the configuration store:
• By using the API Console
• By editing the XML configuration files
Edit a File in the API Console
The API Console is a graphical interface for the Management API (MAMI).
It allows you to edit most configuration files (except for Mashup Builder and Business Console configurations), inspect product status and perform administrative tasks.
Note: For more information about the API Console, see "Perform advanced operations with the API console" in the Exalead CloudView Administration Guide.
1. Go the API Console and click Manage.
2. Locate the entry point where you want to edit a configuration file. For example, to edit the IndexSchemaList configuration:
a. Select MAMI indexing.
b. Click the set<ConfigName> method.
c. Edit the file.
d. Click Save.
3. In the Manage section of the API Console, click Apply.
If the configuration is invalid, an error message displays and your changes are not saved.
Edit the Configuration Files Directly
Before you do this, make sure no one is working in the Administration Console, to avoid editing conflicts.
1. If you have access to the <DATADIR>, you can edit the XML files in <DATADIR>/config.
When you save your changes to the file, there is no configuration check. This happens only when you apply your changes, as described below.
Apply Changes in the Command Line
If you have modified the configuration manually, Applyis not available in the Administration Console.
You have the choice between applying the configuration using the API Console, as described in Edit a File in the API Console, or use the command line.
The cvcmd command-line tool provides access to the configuration application. Exalead CloudView must be running for this to work.
1. Go to <DATADIR>/bin.
2. Test your configuration: cvcmd testConfig
3. If no errors are returned, apply the changes: cvcmd applyConfig
