Configuring Global Search on a multi-server cluster

Question & Answer


Question

How do you make global search work on a multi-server cluster?

Cause

PMObjSearchCron can only be run on one of the servers

Answer

Global Search utilizes search across multiple MBO and attachment files

Global Search is done through:


Navigation: GoTo -> Service Desk -> Global Search

The search feature of Global Search uses the open source framework of Lucene from Apache. Before a search will work, the MBO data must be indexed. Lucene indexes data to be searched and stored in a specific path.

Since the PMObjSearchCron can only be run on one of the servers, you

can create a common shared drive, then

configure theLUCENEOBJINDEX on all these clusters to point to this

path so all clusters will be accessing the same updated index.

See the following link for configuring System Properties for Search Functions.
