JoostBreggeman76041091 after the data extraction component is installed the background JVM paramters in nsa would be modified to indicate where the configuration.ini file is placed. You will need to check if the path mentioned in the JVM parameters is correct and if the JVM parameter is not configured then make sure it is configured. If the JVM parameter is correctly configured you should see the below text appended to the existing JVM parameters -
-DConfiguration.ini=<<path of the folder where the configuration is copied to>>\Configuration.ini
If you make any changes to the JVM parameters you will need to deploy the app and bg services. If it is just that the configuration.ini file was missing and not placed in the declared folder, then just copy over the file to the appropriate folder and no restart/redeploy would be needed.
