Configuring the Management service
Tell the Management service information about your Fredhopper setup.
Procedure
- In the config\ subfolder of your Management service folder, open smarttarget_conf.xml for editing.
- Find the
<FredHopper>section. - If your Fredhopper setup does not use
catalog01as its default Universe, set the value of the<DefaultUniverse>element to the default universe used by Fredhopper. A Universe is a collection of items that are held together in a categorization. The top level category in the categorization is the Universe. Typically, Fredhopper hascatalog01as its default (and only) Universe. - If your Fredhopper setup does not use US English as its default locale, set the value of the
<DefaultLocale>element to the default locale used by Fredhopper. The locale is a language-region combination, typically written as a language code in lower case, underscore, and a country code in upper case, such asen_GBorfr_BE. By default, standard language (ISO-639) and country (ISO-3166) codes are supported. - Find the
<IndexServer>section and set the value of theUrlsubelement to http://HOST:8180, where HOST is the host name of the machine on which the Fredhopper Index Server runs. If the server requires authentication, specify the credentials in theUsernameandPasswordsubelements of theAuthenticationsection. - In the
<Timeouts>subsection, set the following timeout values:- Set
BatchActionsto the number of milliseconds you want Experience Optimization to take for batched actions such as the reordering of Promotions. - Set
Localizationto the number of milliseconds you want Experience Optimization to take for retrieving the Segment titles that are displayed in the Business Manager instead of the Segment Content Manager URI value. - Set
Promotionsto the number of milliseconds you want Experience Optimization to take retrieving the list of Promotions from Fredhopper. - Set
Triggersto the number of milliseconds you want Experience Optimization to take retrieving the list of triggers from Fredhopper, as defined in trigger-types.xml.

- In the
Analyticselement, set the value of theimplementationClassattribute to the fully qualified class name of the Java class that implements the analytics provider. This value defaults to com.tridion.smarttarget.analytics.GoogleAnalyticsManager, the implementation class for Google Analytics, which Experience Optimization ships with. - In the
Analyticselement, set the value of thetimeoutMillisecondsattribute to the time in milliseconds to wait to retrieve the Experiment from the analytics provider before timing out. - In the
Analyticssection, specify parameters for the analytics provider you specified in theimplementationClassattribute. If you chose the default Google Analytics provider, set values for the following subelements:Element Description of value ServiceAccountEmailAddressThe e-mail address you created in the Google Developers Console PrivatekeyPathThe full path and filename of the P12 key you created AccountIdThe ID of the Google Analytics account you created TrackingIdThe Tracking ID of the Google Analytics account ViewIdThe View ID of the view you created in Google Analytics - If you use the default Google Analytics provider, in the

- In the configuration location of the Management service, open cd_storage_conf.xml for editing.
