I cannot go further while trying to use MAKES (Microsoft Academic Knowledge Exploration Service) API.

  1. I have been referring to the guide document (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/academic-services/knowledge-exploration-service/get-started-create-api-instances)

  2. I have the MAKES instances in my Storage Account (current version: makes/2020-12-07/), and all my resource is in East US region (eastus).

  3. I am using the up-to-date version of kesm.exe which is downloaded from the current version directory.

  4. I requested & granted enough number of Standard DS4v2 Cores (30).

  5. So far, I have been successful in creating the image of the resource to be host by inputting the following command line (I have to mask some information by using "" in the following command lines):

    kesm.exe CreateHostResources --AzureActiveDirectoryDomainName "my active directory" --HostResourceName "my resource name" --MakesPackage https://"my storage".blob.core.windows.net/makes/2020-12-07/ --AzureSubscriptionId "my subscription id" --Region eastus

  6. Being successful in creating the host image as shown above, I went further towards DeployHost part (in the guide document). The command line which I used is as follows:

    kesm.exe DeployHost --HostName <my host name> --MakesPackage https://"my storage".blob.core.windows.net/makes/2020-12-07/ --MakesHostImageId /subscriptions/"my subscription id"/resourceGroups/"my resource group"/providers/Microsoft.Compute/images/"host image name" --AzureSubscriptionId "my subscription id" --AzureActiveDirectoryDomainName "my active directory domain name" --Region eastus --HostMachineSku Standard_DS4_v2 --HostMachineDataDiskSizeInGb 2048

  7. In the command line above, I added 2048 Gb of data disk (--HostMachineDataDiskSizeInGb 2048), by referring to the guide document because I have been receiving "not enough space" error.

  8. Following is the successful part of the results from the command line in #6 above:

  9. However, I am lost and frustrated by the following errors which continue to generate for multiple pages, right after the successful part above:

  10. After requesting technical assistance, I am re-directed to this page. The Azure specialists say the error is from the MAKES product itself because my kesm commands seem to be in the correct track.

I need any kind of tips to go further with Microsoft Academic materials.

  • It looks like your error is `Could not find a part of the path 'Y:\\Indexes` - can you find out where that is being referenced in your code/config? – halfer Jan 02 '21 at 12:00
  • @halfer: I agree and I would like to know how I can set up the path. I simply tried to do as the guide document tells me, so I don't have more code other than the command lines in my post. – minsuksuh Jan 03 '21 at 23:29
  • @halfer: With the intention to go around the errors about the path, I created VM and VMSS with sufficient data disk through Azure Portal to set up the download path during my trials, only in vain. Then I realized VMSS is being created by the command line in #6, however, the VM which is created during this process did not allow my connection. (I was going to log in using the information given in the last line of #8). Does MAKES require a "code" form other than the kesm.exe commands like in the guide document? – minsuksuh Jan 03 '21 at 23:42
