Follow this link if you are using ---> Aspire for Elasticsearch <---
The following tutorial gets you started with Aspire in 20 minutes or less.
This tutorial is for Aspire 3 (Hawthorn).
You'll get an idea of how to install Aspire applications using the System Admin UI (no programming knowledge needed).
To build Aspire distributions from scratch using Maven prototypes and Maven component repositories, see the Aspire Quick Start with Distribution Archetype quick start tutorial.
There are other tutorials for each type of connector application you might want to install; located under the section for each Connector.
Before you begin, you must be registered to use Aspire (go to http://aspire.searchtechnologies.com/) if you haven't already done that.
This tutorial assumes you have already set up your environment. If not, see the Prerequisites.
Note: This is the best way to evaluate Aspire with or without premium connectors. If you are actually building a distribution, the preferred method is to use the Distribution Archetype, which requires downloading a Maven client.
The download will create a directory structure similar to that described in Directory Structure.
> mongo MongoDB shell version: 4.0.4 connecting to: test >
If a "NETWORK Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1:27017" error occurs, then it is not running.
Start it by executing either:
Open a terminal and CD to your MongoDB installation folder and execute:
C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\bin> mongod
$ sudo service mongod start
<repositories> <defaultVersion>4.0</defaultVersion> <repository type="distribution"> <directory>bundles/aspire</directory> </repository> <repository type="maven"> <remoteRepositories> <remoteRepository> <id>stPublic</id> <url>http://repository.searchtechnologies.com/artifactory/public/</url> <user>YOUR-REGISTERED-USERNAME</user> <password>YOUR-REGISTERED-PASSWORD</password> </remoteRepository> </remoteRepositories> </repository> </repositories>
6. After you've entered your username and password, Save and close the file. Make sure you save it so it remains an .xml file!
7. Modify the following section and point to the server where you installed MongoDB. In this case we have MongoDB running in the host called mongodb-host:
<!-- noSql database provider for the 4.0 connector framework --> <noSQLConnectionProvider sslEnabled="false" sslInvalidHostNameAllowed="false"> <implementation>com.accenture.aspire:aspire-mongodb-provider</implementation> <servers>mongodb-host:27017</servers> </noSQLConnectionProvider>
First, make sure you have access to the internet so that Aspire can download components.
To start Aspire, follow these steps:
Windows
> aspire.bat
Linux
$ aspire.sh
OS X (this command must be executed from Aspire home directory)
$ bin/aspire.sh
The "aspire" batch script (on Windows) or shell script (on Unix) can be modified as necessary if you want to assign more memory or need to set other JVM system properties. Example output: Aspire may take a few minutes to load all of the necessary components. You will see feedback to the command prompt during the startup. 3. Use the standard administration interface (http://localhost:50505) to install pre-packaged applications such as connectors and search engine publishers. Go to Admin UI for more details. 4. If you see an error like this: and Aspire exits: 5. Check that you have the correct username and password in the config/settings.xml file. See General Settings for details. For more information on how to start, stop, install as service, see Launch ControlRemoving Felix-Cache and AppBundle-Cache directories

More Information
For details on using the Aspire Content Source Management page, please refer to Admin UI Audit Logs.
To specify exactly what File System folder to crawl, we will need to create a new "Content Source".
To create a new content source:
In the "General" tab in the Content Source Configuration window, specify basic information for the content source:
After selecting a Scheduled, specify the details, if applicable:
In the "Connector" tab, specify the connection information to crawl the File System folder.
In the "Workflow" tab, specify the workflow steps for the jobs that come out of the crawl. Drag and drop rules to determine which steps should an item follow after being crawled. This rules could be where to publish the document or transformations needed on the data before sending it to a search engine. See Workflow for more information.
After completing this steps click on the Save then Done and you'll be sent back to the Home Page.
Now that the content source is set up, the crawl can be initiated.
The status will show RUNNING while the crawl is going, and CRAWLED when it is finished.
If there are errors, you will get a clickable Error that will take you to a detailed error message page.
Congratulations!! You have completed the 20-minute quick start. We hope it was a fun experience.
Or, you could go to the Aspire console window (where you started Aspire with "bin\startup") and type shutdown and then press Return or Enter.
