Add Central Points

You can configure multiple central points in SEI so they appear on the login page and are available for services such as OLAP Manager and the Distribution Service. To do this, update both the web server's Web.config file and the Scheduler API's appsettings.json file.

Update SEI configuration

1. Open File Explorer and navigate to the appropriate folder for your installation:
   • C:\Program Files\Nectari\Nectari Server\WebServer\Web.config
   • C:\Program Files\SEI\SEI Server\WebServer\Web.config.
2. Locate the CentralPointDictionary section.

   <CentralPointDictionary>
       <add key="CentralPoint" value="\\CPpath\CentralPoint" />
   </CentralPointDictionary>

3. Modify the key (display name) and value (UNC path) attributes for existing Central Points as needed.
4. Add a new Central Point by copying an <add ... /> line, then editing the key and value attributes for the new entry.
5. Save the Web.config file.

Update the Scheduler API configuration

1. Open the appsettings.json file in:
   • C:\Program Files\Nectari\Nectari Server\Scheduler\appsettings.json
   • C:\Program Files\SEI\SEI Server\Scheduler\appsettings.json
2. Find the CentralPoints section, specifically the LocalList:

   "CentralPoints": {
       "Provider": "Local",
       "ApiHostName": "",
       "LocalList": [
           {
               "Name": "CentralPoint",
               "Path": "\\\\CpPath\\CentralPoint",
               "WebAppUrl": "https://localhost:44381",
               "IsSageMode": false
           }
       ]
   }

3. Edit these properties for each central point:
   • Name: Set the display name.
   • Path: Enter the network UNC path using double backslashes (e.g., \\\\CPpath\\CentralPoint).
   • WebAppUrl: Specify the URL to your web server (e.g., https://yourserver:44381).
   • IsSageMode: Set to false for SEI Server.
4. Add another Central Point by copying one entire object ({ ... }) within LocalList, placing a comma between entries, and updating the details.
5. Save the appsettings.json file.
