You must configure IBM Content Search Services as a IBM Content Search Services server on Content Engine by using Enterprise Manager.
“Verifying the IBM Content Search Services installation” on page 96
You can verify that the IBM Content Search Services installation was successful by using Enterprise Manager to create a search index job and checking to see whether the job returns the correct index objects.
“Configuring SSL for IBM Content Search Services” on page 98
IBM Content Search Services can communicate with Content Engine on both secure and nonsecure channels. You can configure IBM Content Search Services to communicate over a secure connection by using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.
Getting the IBM Content Search Services authentication token
The IBM Content Search Services server uses the authentication token as a security device to identify itself as authorized to communicate with Content Engine. The authentication token is displayed on the last window of the IBM Content Search Services installation program for each server that you install.
To find the authentication token for an installed IBM Content Search Services server:
1. Log on to the host computer as css_os_user.
2. From a command prompt, navigate to the css_install_location/server_name/ bin directory.
3. To find the authentication token, enter configTool printToken -configPath "css_install_location/server_name/config".
4. To generate a new authentication token, enter configTool generateToken -configPath "css_install_location/server_name/config" -seed token_name. 5. Store the authentication token and the encryption key in the database if
applicable.
Configuring Content Engine for IBM Content Search Services
You must configure IBM Content Search Services as a IBM Content Search Services server on Content Engine by using Enterprise Manager.
The IBM Content Search Services server that is configured on Content Engine contains the connection and configuration information for a single IBM Content
Search Services server. The IBM Content Search Services server is associated with a site and can be used by any object store in the same site to create and search indexes.
When filtering text from a document, Content Engine places the document in a temporary work directory. This work document is given the same file name extension as the original document. The file system must support the characters that are used in the file name extension. Without this character support, Content Engine generates an error and does not index the document. For example, if the file name extensions of the Content Engine documents that you want to index contain Japanese characters, you must set the code page of the operating system to support these characters.
“Configuring IBM Content Search Services servers on Content Engine” You can configure IBM Content Search Services servers on Content Engine in Index mode, Server mode, or IndexAndServer mode to search for and index documents, custom objects, folders, and annotations.
“Adding index areas for IBM Content Search Services” on page 95
Index areas contain the IBM Search indexes for the content-based retrieval data that is created, updated, and queried by IBM Content Search Services. You must add index areas to be used by IBM Content Search Services for text search. “Enabling text search on the object store” on page 95
You can enable text search on any object store that resides in the same site as the IBM Content Search Services server.
“Configuring objects that can be indexed for content based retrieval” on page 95
You can configure documents, custom objects, folders, and annotations for content based retrieval by using Enterprise Manager.
Configuring IBM Content Search Services servers on Content Engine:
You can configure IBM Content Search Services servers on Content Engine in Index mode, Server mode, or IndexAndServer mode to search for and index documents, custom objects, folders, and annotations.
Ensure that the Content Engine server is running before you proceed. To configure IBM Content Search Services servers on Content Engine: 1. Log on to Enterprise Manager as the GCD Administrator and expand the
Enterprise Manager tree.
2. Right-click Enterprise Manager [domain], choosing Select Properties, and on the IBM Content Search Servers tab, clicking Create.
3. At the Create an IBM Content Search Services Server window, enter the following server settings:
v Host name- enter the IP address or host name of the IBM Content Search Services server.
v Port - the port number the IBM Content Search Services server uses to communicate with IBM FileNet Content Engine server
v Authentication token- the authentication token used to identify the IBM Content Search Services server to Content Engine server.
v Mode- select the server mode for the tasks you want the server to perform; Index, Search, or IndexAndSearch.
v Status - select Enabled.
5. Click OK again.
6. Assign an Indexing Language value to an object store.
Restriction: If the Indexing Language property is not set on an object store, the error message Index Language property is null displays when you try to create an index area.
a. In the Enterprise Manager tree, open the Object Store folder.
b. Right-click the object store on which you want to enable text properties and select Properties.
c. Click the IBM Content Search Services tab.
d. Ensure that the IBM Content Search Services Enabled check box is cleared. If the check box is selected, clear it and click Apply.
e. In the Indexing Language text field, select the desired language code from the list. If you do not want to select a specific Language code, you can use
auto. f. Click OK.
g. Verify that you can successfully create an index area.
h. Select the IBM Content Search Services Enabled check box to enable text search on the object store.
Adding index areas for IBM Content Search Services:
Index areas contain the IBM Search indexes for the content-based retrieval data that is created, updated, and queried by IBM Content Search Services. You must add index areas to be used by IBM Content Search Services for text search. To add index areas for IBM Content Search Services:
1. Log on to Enterprise Manager as the GCD Administrator and expand the Object Store tree.
2. Open the Index Area folder and right-click to select New Index Area.
3. At the New Index Area window, enter the name and other values for the new index area.
4. Click OK to add the index area.
5. Repeat these steps to create additional index areas with different names.
Enabling text search on the object store:
You can enable text search on any object store that resides in the same site as the IBM Content Search Services server.
To enable text search on the object store:
1. Log on to Enterprise Manager as the GCD Administrator and expand the Enterprise Manager tree.
2. Open the Object Store folder.
3. Right-click the object store on which you want to enable text search and select
Properties.
4. Click the CBR IBM tab, select IBM Content Search Services Enabled and click
OK.
5. At the Do you want to continue prompt, click OK.
You can configure documents, custom objects, folders, and annotations for content based retrieval by using Enterprise Manager.
To enable content-based retrieval (CBR) for all document classes or some
subclasses, you can either enable CBR at the document class level or at the level of the individual subclasses. To enable CBR for annotations, folders, and custom objects, you must do so on each of these object classes under the Other Classes node.
To configure objects that can be indexed for content based retrieval:
1. Log on to Enterprise Manager as the GCD Administrator and expand the Enterprise Manager tree.
2. Expand the Object Store node.
3. Right-click the object store to display the object classes that you can configure for content based retrieval:
v Document v Annotation v Folder
v Custom Object
4. Right-click the class that you want to enable content-based retrieval and select
Properties.
Important: Nothing is indexed unless you enable CBR on the associated
classes. You can index object content for Document and Annotation classes only. You can index property values for all supported CBR enabled object classes, which are noted in the previous step. To designate property values for indexing, you must CBR enable the property definition and the object class. 5. On the Document Class Properties window, select CBR Enabled.
6. Click OK.
