Data Files

You will need to specify where your CSV files are placed. In the default implementation, the CSV files are required to provide ActivePivot with the necessary data and configuration to do the calculations in the Accelerator.

All the files need to be kept under one directory of your choice anywhere on the file system. The path to this directory needs to be specified in frtb.properties. The below property needs to be updated to specify an accessibly directory containing the necessary files.

Example

Sample files can be found in the frtb-starter/src/test/resources/data folder (a.k.a. don’t expect to see any of them in the WAR generated by the build)…

csvSource.dataset=data

Bookmarks

If you want to replace the bookmarks you have persisted in your content server, you can override all the content of the content server with content from a JSON file when the ActivePivot instance starts up.

In order to do this, the value for the property contentServer.factory-reset should be set to true in the file frtb.properties as below.

contentServer.factory-reset=true

The data that gets loaded into the content server is imported from a json file. The json file that gets loaded in by default is frtb-content-server.json. It is specified in frtb.properties as below:

contentServer.factory-reset.filename=frtb-content-server.json

The accelerator ships with the following two sample content server files:

• frtb-content-server.json - Sample set of bookmarks are for the the SA, IMA, PL Attribution and Combined Cube.
• frtb-content-server-query.json - If running on distributed deployment and only query node is exposed to end users, sample set of bookmarks for the the SA, IMA, PL Attribution and Combined Cube to be used in the query node.

ActiveUI

You will need to specify in the ActiveUI configuration file where the ActivePivot project is running. Please note, the end-user’s browser will be connecting to the URL you specify here, so you should specify the exact host name as opposed to localhost.

The standalone application contains an frtb_env.js file which will need to be updated with the correct server URL:

# The URL to use to connect to ActivePivot
activePivotServerUrl: 'http://localhost:8080/frtb-starter',

ActiveMonitor (optional)

If you choose to deploy ActiveMonitor, you will need to modify the following properties files:

• activepivot.remote.properties (frtb-starter)

  # The URL to use to connect to the ActiveMonitor
  sentinel.remote.url=http://localhost:8081/frtb-activemonitor
  
  # The URL to use to connect to the ActiveMonitor repository
  repository.remote.url=http://localhost:8081/frtb-activemonitor
  
  # The URL of the current ActivePivot
  activepivot.snl.url=http://localhost:8080/frtb-starter
  

• env.js (frtb-activeui)

  # The URL to use to connect to the ActiveMonitor
  activeMonitorServerUrl: 'http://localhost:8081/frtb-activemonitor',
  

DoctorPivot Configuration(optional)
