Administration Console: Admin

The Admin tab provides console-level settings and diagnostic tools for managing the i2 Explore for iBase environment, such as polling intervals, log levels, prerequisites, and database diagnostics.

Polling Interval

The polling interval controls how often the Services and Deployment tabs automatically refresh their status. You can set the interval to a value between 1 and 60 seconds. The default is 5 seconds.

Enter the desired value and click Save to apply the change. The new interval takes effect immediately across all tabs that use polling.

Log Level

The log level controls the verbosity of server-side logging for Administration Console operations. Two options are available:

  • Info (default) — Logs standard operational messages.

  • Debug — Logs detailed diagnostic messages, which is useful when troubleshooting issues.

Note: This setting controls server-side logging for the Administration Console. To set the log level for a specific deployment task, use the log level option in the deployment confirmation dialog on the Deployment tab.

Prerequisites

The Prerequisites panel displays the installation status of each third-party component required by i2 Explore for iBase. Each item shows a status indicator (green tick for installed, red cross for missing), the install location, and the binary download status.

For a full list of required prerequisites and their supported versions, see Installing in an Offline Environment.

Three buttons are provided:

  • Install Prerequisites — Downloads and installs any missing prerequisites. This button is disabled if all prerequisites are already installed.

  • Clean Prerequisites — Removes the downloaded prerequisite binaries. This does not uninstall the prerequisites from the deployment; to do that, run a clean operation from the Deployment tab. If you subsequently run a clean and redeploy, the prerequisites are downloaded again.

  • Refresh — Re-checks the installation status of all prerequisites.

Important: Service controls on the Services tab are unavailable until all prerequisites are installed.

Database

The Database panel displays the current status of the Information Store database connection. It shows the connection status, a diagnostic message, and the database name. Click Refresh to re-check the database status.

You can use this panel to confirm that the Administration Console can connect to the Information Store database, and to diagnose connection issues.

LDAP Configuration

The LDAP Configuration panel displays the status of the LDAP connection when the authentication mode is set to Active Directory. If the LDAP connection is healthy, the panel shows a success status. If there is a problem, the panel displays an error message with diagnostic details. Click Refresh to re-check the LDAP status.

For information about configuring Active Directory and LDAP, see Configuring Active Directory for i2 Explore for iBase. For information about securing the LDAP connection with SSL, see Configuring Secure Connection to LDAP for Active Directory Authentication.

Database Scripts

The Database Scripts panel provides a Generate Database Scripts button that creates the SQL scripts needed to manually set up the Information Store database, logins, and users on your SQL Server instance. After generation, the panel displays the location of the generated scripts.

For more information about when and how to use these scripts, see Manually Creating the Information Store Database.

Log Downloads

The Download Logs button downloads all deployment logs as a single .zip file. This is useful for sharing logs with i2 support or for archiving the log history of your deployment.
