The details in Project Wizard . Once you create a project you may change the project. The project setting options may be limited once you start indexing.

Info

Project List

The tab listed all projects. Unless you seek an Enterprise Search application, we suggest that to separate each data source and classification projects into separate projects. This is not mandatory but is easier to manage.

This area has shortcuts to access courses and support pages(including this page). Support pages are also accessible with (question) icons.

Centrally Managing GEODI Servers

Many organizations may need multiple GEODI servers. Here are some reasons:

Info

BigData. When you have massive : Massive data distributed in various FilseServers, Databases, Sharepoint, e-Mails, Hive, ElasticSearch, and more, ; you will need multiple GEODI Servers to complete the discovery in a reasonable time scale.

Info

Auto Classification: Auto Classification requires CPU resources, so we suggest separating the Classification servers . After that, you from the discovery servers. You may also choose to use multiple GEODI Classification Servers servers behind a load balancer.

Tip
You may install as many GEODI Servers as you need and prefer to manage them separately. There is also a method that makes managing easier and gains new features like getting consolidated reports and more.

A central login provider like LDAP or Microsoft is required for this method to work.

The following jSettings definition should be in GEODI\Settings\DeceServers. You may define more than one setting. Every server you add will be listed on the project list as Displayname:WSName.

  1. Check the URL with a browser before using it and eliminate any network problem caused by the firewall or any other reason. An error message will be shown if the URL is inaccessible or for authorization problems.

  2. You may leave GenericSettings as shown or change it to override the workspace and report matching.

Code Block
[
   {
      "Url":"https:/...",
      "DisplayName":"ClassificationServer1",
      "GenericSettings":{
         "DefaultWorkspace":null,
         "DefaultReportID":null
      }
   },
   {
      "Url":"https:/...",
      "DisplayName":"OracleHive05",
      "GenericSettings":{
         "DefaultWorkspace":null,
         "DefaultReportID":null
      }
   }
]

Consolidated Report

Master GEODI can generate a consolidated report from others. Each GEODI may have discovered different sources with different settings.

Workspace names and reports should be matched, or You may override match rules with "DefaultWorkspace":<proje> ve "DefaultReportID":<raporID> values. When you change these values GEODI will match the selected ones with that values.
