Overview

To support Search Center in a Portal cluster, configure the remote search service on a WAS node that is not part of the cluster.

To enable search in a cluster for content created using Document Manager or the Authoring portlet provided with Web Content Management, configure each machine in the cluster to access a shared directory.

Configure search in a cluster for content features

If you are creating content in a clustered environment using Document Manager or the Authoring portlet provided with WCM, additional configuration steps are required to enable content created by these content features to be searchable in a cluster. To enable search for content features in a clustered environment, complete the following steps on each machine in the cluster

1. Edit...

   portal_server_root/jcr/lib/com/ibm/icm/icm.properties

2. Change the value of...

   jcr.textsearch.indexdirectory

   ...to a shared directory called jcr/search that can be accessed by all nodes in the cluster. For example:

   jcr.textsearch.indexdirectory=\\\\your_server\\your_share\\jcr\\search

   The shared directory can be specified in two formats:

   UNC	\\\\your_server\\your_share\\jcr\\search
   UNIX-style	X:/your_share/jcr/search

   Path formats for the native operating system, such as X:\your_share\jcr\search on a Windows machine, should not be used.
