Overview

This solution article shows the steps required to install the Application Confidence Engine.

Prerequisites

• ACE must be enabled in the licence
• The ManagementStudio client must have internet access (the server doesn't need internet access)
• A ManagementStudio account which is in the Project Admins role group is required

Installation

• Login to ManagementStudio using an account which is in the Project Admins role group
• Navigate to Admin -> Extensions -> Connectors
• Click Add New Connector -> ACE:AI

• Click OK to accept the default name, or amend as needed
• The new connector will be created

Initial Setup

During the connector installation, the default settings will be applied. In most cases, these will be a reasonable starting point. Before any ACE recommendations can be reviewed it's necessary to run through these steps:

• Administration -> Extensions -> Connectors -> Select the ACE Connector
• Click Sync With MS ACE Server Now -> Continue
• Click Run ACE Examination Now -> Continue
• It may be helpful to tick the option Periodically Sync ManagementStudio ACE Server -> Save Changes to prevent having to run this task manually

Configuration
