Setting up the training-tutorial project for Technical BA Academy
FAQ relevant for: Technical BA Academy Hi Guys! Some good news for all of you doing the Technical Business Analyst Academy! We've added a new script to your VDIs to simplify the training-tutorial project setup. This script combines all the necessary setup commands into a single script! If you've already set up the training-tutorial project, there's no need to do it again! Also, you will still be able to setup the project manually by following BA Module 1.2: Smoke Test (after completing Module 1.1: Development Tools). The new script is just an additional method for setting up the training-tutorial project for the Scenario-based Tasks. The rest of this post will explain how to get the new script on your VDI, and how to use it to set up the training-tutorial project. How to get the updated setup scripts To add the new script to your VDI, you will need to unzip the setup scripts again. To do this run the following commands in order: cd ~ cp /opt/training/other-resources/setup-scripts/tba-academy/setup_scripts.zip ~ unzip setup_scripts.zip cd ~/setup-scripts-analyst/ chmod +x *.sh If you are prompted with this message: Enter A (or y) to overwrite the existing setup scripts folder with the new folder. Things to Check: Make sure you have the correct setup scripts: Open the /setup-scripts-analyst folder. Check that the file run_training_tutorial_setup.sh is there. If the file is missing, rerun the setup scripts above. Make sure you have the training-tutorial project Check you have the /training-tutorial folder in the home directory of your VDI. If you do not have the training-tutorial project run the following commands: cd ~/setup-scripts-analyst ./run_setup.sh Running the training-tutorial setup script Now that you have the new setup script, you can use it to set up the training-tutorial project! To run the script run the following commands in order: Step 1: Navigate to the /setup-scripts-analyst folder using: cd ~/setup-scripts-analyst Step 2: Run the training-tutorial setup script using: ./run_training_tutorial_setup.sh This script may take up to an hour to fully execute all the commands. Important Note: Do not leave the VDI idle for too long as it will disconnect from inactivity! If this happens, you will need to rerun the script If all the commands execute successfully, you will see this final message in the terminal: Now you should be able to run the Quantexa UI on the training-tutorial project using the run-all script! If you encounter any issues while running this script or have any questions, please let us know in the comments of this post! We hope this helps! Many thanks, The Academy TeamFAQ: Broken Elasticsearch Head Chrome Extension Workaround

Apologies for the inconvenience, I hope this helps!

FAQ relevant for: all Academy versions When opening IntelliJ on the Academy VDIs, dependencies may take too long to load, causing the project to not index properly. This happens because IntelliJ attempts to download dependencies but fails as the VDIs do not have access to the internet. We can stop this happening by putting Gradle in offline mode. To do this you need to do the following: First, click on the Gradle panel near the top of the right sidebar: Then, click on the toggle offline mode button: The button will be a lighter grey colour when the offline mode is on Finally, click the refresh button to restart the indexing: Your project should now index a lot quicker (although it may still take 10-20mins)!FAQ: Academy Documentation Links

FAQ: Elasticsearch "cluster health: Not connected" in Chrome / "Connection refused" script error
FAQ relevant for: all Academy versions Sometimes on the VDIs you will encounter your Elasticsearch being disconnected which will then mean that the data isn't available for easy viewing and it will also lead to errors in your UI. If you try to run e.g. a load Elastic ETL script while Elastic isn't connected then you will get an error, for example: Exception in thread "main" java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused To reconnect the Elasticsearch service you just need to run the following command anywhere in a terminal window on your VDI: sudo systemctl restart elasticsearch.service
