# BinaryCatTrain

Trains a binary category. If the binary category has existing training, this action adds the new training to it. If you want to replace the binary category training, you must first use the BinaryCatDeleteTraining action.

Note: This is an administrative action that can be sent only from AdminClients (which are set in the `[Server]` section of the configuration file).

Unlike normal categories, which receive only positive training, binary categories can receive both positive and negative training.

- Positive training consists of documents and text that result in a yes (`POSITIVE`) answer when querying with the binary category.
- Negative training consists of documents and text that result in a no (`NEGATIVE`) answer when querying with the binary category.

## Example

    http://12.3.4.56:9000/action=BinaryCatTrain&Name=spam_binarycat&PositiveDocID=123,456&NegativeDocID=789,890

This action uses port `9000` to train the binary category named `spam_binarycat`, using documents with IDs `123` and `456` for positive training and documents with IDs `789` and `890` for negative training on IDOL Server, which is located on a machine with the IP address `12.3.4.56`.
