Hello Friends,
Recently I explored a little about Configuration Manager and initially thought that why we need configuration manage while having admin console.
But in recent project development got the requirement of configuration manager specifically and saw that yes it is helpful and have specific requirement.
In one of my project the development team is big and where we have separate roles for database configuration and creation etc. But as we already discussed that when we are working on Mark Logic there are countless situations when you need to access database configuration but every user can not be granted with access to admin console to avoid any mistakenly or intentionally done negative activity.
At that point of time Configuration manager comes into existence which facilitates database administrator to grant access to developer to view database configuration in read only mode or with the specific restrictions.
Mark Logic configuration manager can be access through 8002 port by default at below URL.
http://localhost:8002/nav/?type=databases
Configuration manager provides the facility to access databases, servers, hosts, forests and groups in read only mode however provides a link to specific object management page on admin console as well (if allowed).
Also it allows to view details of entire configuration and linking of database objects together in view only mode.
The most important and usable option facility provided through configuration manager is import/export option which allows to export entire setting and configuration which can be import in another mark logic server instance on requirement basis.
This allows you to create same environment in your local machine or configure dev to stage environment etc.
Definitely there would be some other benefits of configuration manager but I recently come through with above discussed.
Please do share your findings as well about configuration manager so that it will be helpful to get all required details at same place.
Till the time... Keep exploring and keep sharing :)
