To configure a remote search service for Portal Search...

1. Log in to the portal as an administrator.

2. Click...

   Main Menu | Administration | Search Administration | Manage Search | Search Services

   

3. Click New Search Service.

   

4. Depending on whether you are using EJB or Web service via SOAP, type...

   Remote PSE service EJB

   ...or...

   Remote PSE service SOAP

   ...for the service name.

5. For the Search service implementation select Portal Search Service Type.

6. Depending on whether you are using EJB or Web service via SOAP, select the following steps and proceed as appropriate:
   • To configure for remote search service via EJB...
     1. Edit the search service parameter PSE_Type and change its value to ejb.

     2. Modify the parameter IIOP_URL. Set its value to...

        iiop://ejb_search_server.com:port

        ...where ejb_search_server.com is the name of the remote search server and port the EJB port number..

        For example...

        iiop://ejb_server.company.com:2809

     3. Set the EJB parameter to...

        ejb/com/ibm/hrl/portlets/WsPse/WebScannerLiteEJBHome

        This is the default JNDI name. If you have modified the EJB parameter to a JNDI name of your own choice, use that name instead.

   • To configure for remote search service as a Web service via SOAP...
     1. Edit the search service parameter PSE_TYPE and change its value to soap.

     2. Modify the parameter SOAP_URL. Set its value to...

        http://soap_search_server.com:port/WebScannerSoap/servlet/rpcrouter

        ...where soap_search_server.com is the name of the remote search server and port is the SOAP port number.

        For example...

        http://soap_server.company.com:10000/WebScannerSoap/servlet/rpcrouter

7. Click OK to save the new search service.

   The Manage Search portlet now lists the new search service in the list of search services. A green check in the status column indicates that the new search service is working correctly. If the search service is not working properly, it has a red cross, and a message is displayed. Click the View details link of the message for more information about the problem and how to resolve it.

8. If you configure a copy of the Search and Browse for searching collections under the this search service, configure that Search and Browse portlet so that the values of the shared parameters match as required.
