Administration Guide

Overview

Datameer X provides a wizard-based integration to all data - structured, semi-structured, and unstructured. Integration is fast and easy because there is no need for explicit data and schema mappings. As a system administrator, you spend most of your time using the features located by clicking the Admin tab at the top of the page. This is where you initially configure the Datameer X system.

Click the Admin tab to view the system dashboard--a quick at-a-glance look at all running systems. You can also set up authentication, groups and users, jobs, and configure the mail server, Hadoop Cluster settings, and configure the database drivers and plug-ins used to connect to your data.
