When I download the Sentiment Analysis app, why is home.xml empty and Splunk complains about this file?

[steve_deridder]

Is there supposed to be content in home.xml? When I start up Splunk it complains about this file in the application.

Also, in your compressed tar file I am getting warnings about the pax headers.

I removed the home.xml as I believe it to be an artifact from 5.x.

I also had to update the commands.conf added local=true to each stanza. This eliminated errors I was receiving on each of my indexers.

Thanks, Steve. Note that the best way to do this is to put the changes in a "local" version of commands.conf. See this post here:
