Remove search collections on Windows

If you plan to use search in a cluster, configure a remote search server; see Configuring Portal Search in a cluster for information. If you created any search collections, you will need to recreate them on the remote search server. If search collection has data, export the collection before deleting it and then import the data on the remote server.


Prerequisites


Install WebSphere Portal
Windows clustered server: Configure WebSphere Portal to use a database
Create the WebSphere Portal profile template on Windows in a clustered environment

Perform the following step to remove the search collection:

  1. To prevent search collection creations:

    1. Open the icm.properties file, located in the WP_PROFILE/PortalServer/jcr/lib/com/ibm/icm/ directory, and set the jcr.textsearch.enabled property to false.

    2. Restart the WebSphere_Portal server.

  2. To delete all existing search collections from the primary node:

    1. Log on to WebSphere Portal.

    2. Navigate to Administration -> Search Administration -> Manage Search and then click Search Collections.

    3. Click the Delete Collection icon for each search collection and then click OK until they are all deleted.

    4. Restart the WebSphere_Portal server and then navigate back to the Search Collections page to verify that all search collections have been deleted.

Re: Remove search collections on Windows

Hi, as stated here:

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/library/techarticles/1007_kandasamy/1007_kandasamy.html

the JCR TextSearch is the component that provides the ability to search for words and phrases found in the content repository. It also provides linguistic capabilities for the documents that are stored in the repository. The text engine used by JCR is Juru, which is a Java library developed by the IBM Haifa research lab. Juru is the component that maintains the text index and performs the searches over it.

In this section you are referring at the general search capabilities of the portal, and you are also referring at the

jcr.textsearch.enabled present in the icm.properties and then to remove all the collections present in the Administration -> Search Administration -> Manage Search and then click Search Collections path.

for my understanding the jcr.textsearch.enabled and the search collections you are referring to are different types of objects. Could you please clarify it ?

Thank you
