# Enable Configuration Changes

When you change a Knowledge Discovery component configuration file, you must stop and restart the component so that it reads the new configuration.

To stop and restart a component

- For Windows. Display the Windows Services dialog box, stop the component service, then start it again.

- For UNIX. Use the `Stop.sh` stop script to stop the component, then use the `Start.sh` script to start it again. These scripts are supplied in the ZIP package for each component.

- For any platform. In the Console page in Knowledge Discovery Admin, click the Service Control tab, then click Stop Service. Then manually restart the service by using the start script (UNIX), or the Windows Services dialog box (Windows).

Some Content component configuration changes require you to reindex your data. In these cases, OpenText recommends that you use the `DREEXPORTIDX` or `DREEXPORTXML` index actions to export your content to an IDX or XML document. You can then initialize your index, make your configuration changes, and index the IDX or XML file back into the Content component.
