Configuring Chat API

We now need to configure the Chat API settings.

To configure the Chat API:

  1. In the Orbit Updater, select the Chat API tab.

  2. Click Open Chat API Configurator

  3. In the FastStats config database tab, enter the same connection string you used in the Orbit API configuration tool.

  4. Click Test to verify the connection.

  5. Ensure Store Orbit Configuration in Database is selected, and Configuration Name matches the value from the Orbit API configuration tool.

  6. Select File > Save. The settings save immediately because the database is already configured.

  7. Close the tool.

For future configuration changes, use the Orbit API Configuration tool unless you're moving the FastStats configuration database.

Update Chat API options

To configure the Chat API URL:

  1. Open the Orbit API Configuration tool.

  2. In Chat API options, verify the URL field contains the correct Orbit API URL This is typically the same URL configured in the API tab of the Orbit Updater (for example: https://<hostname>/OrbitAPI).

  3. Select File > Save.

  4. Restart the Chat API process to apply the changes You can do this in IIS Manager by stopping and starting the App Pool associated with the Chat API.
