Connecting to your Watson Explorer Content Analytics server

To enable Content Analytics Studio to communicate with your Watson Explorer Content Analytics server, configure a Watson Explorer Content Analytics server connection file.

To configure a connection to your Watson Explorer Content Analytics server:

1. In the Studio Explorer view, right-click the Configuration/Servers directory in your project and click New > Watson Explorer Content Analytics Server Connection.
   Specify a file name and click Finish to create the server connection file.
   The new ICACONFIG file is listed in the Studio Explorer view and is opened in the editor view.
2. Configure the connection:
   1. In the Server section, specify the host name of the Watson Explorer Content Analytics server and a master administrator ID and password.
      Also, verify that the search and administration port numbers are correct. If you use WebSphere® Application Server, you must update the port values. The default port numbers in the connection file are applicable only if you use the embedded web application server.
   2. Click Update to view a list of the collections that are defined on the server.
      Tip: If you later add or delete a collection, refresh the collection list by clicking Update again.
