6.1 Starting SES-imagotag Core Service
If you've recently configured yourCore Appliance the SES-imagotag Core Service software is already
running and you can step forward to the next step.
In order to start the SES-imagotag Core Service with the default configuration, just execute the jar file
“server.jar” as described in Troubleshooting and wait for the small service GUI to show up (if the
window doesn’t show up after all, make sure your Java installation and configuration is correct).

The SES-imagotag Core Service will listen to TCP connections on Port 8000 and
8001 and UDP connections on Port 8000. Please make sure that there is no firewall
issue and/or interference with other systems.
After start of the SES-imagotag Core Service you can check the web user interface:
URL: http://<host|ip>:8000
Login: admin/admin
During the first start the SES-imagotag Core Service will automatically create a Derby
1
database. If
another database connection is needed or preferred, the connection parameters should be validated
by SES-imagotag GmbH.
Note: As you can see there are several level numbers. You can find the description of the different
levels in the Developer Reference (which is also part of the documentation available at the SES-
imagotag Customer and Partner Portal) under “Integration Levels”.
6.1.1 Example articles
For easier usage some example articles can be preloaded at the time you start the SES-imagotag
Core Service. You can find the corresponding XMLarticle data here: C:\ses-imagotag-core-
service\server\data\fixtures\.
To enable and disable the preloading of these fixtures go to the system configuration and set the
corresponding property "importFixtures"true or false.
Note: The article records are based on the XML-standard.
