The CES Administration Desktop is used for data modeling tasks. You need to install the CES Administration Desktop before the user can work with the CES application. The CES Administration Desktop can be installed manually, as explained here, or it can be installed automatically during CES installation. If you install CES Administration Desktop manually, you can install it in any war directory (<WAS_HOME>\profiles\,profile Name>\installedApps\<node name>\<ear directory>\<war directory>\<Admin Desktop directory>).
To install the CES Administration Desktop automatically, run SDMSetupUI. On the CES Setup tab of the CES Installation Wizard, check Yes in the Install CES Admin Desktop section. For more information, refer to the Deploying CES Application section of Installing CES.
After installation you must change the ExploreJavaServer.PORT value to the BOOTSTRAP_ADDRESS of the CES Server. For more information on this process, refer to Enabling the CES Administration Desktop. You must also update the virtual hosts using the Administration console, by specifying the http port of the CES Server as the default. The URL to launch the Admin Desktop is http://<hostname>:<CESServer> HTTP Port>/excalibur/CESAD/index.html. For more information, refer to Adding Virtual Hosts.
