Configuring the Slave Servers in Search Query Engine

On each Content Manager machine, configure the Search Query Engine to point to the Search Host service or Network Load Balancer in the Content Manager configuration file, Tridion.ContentManager.config.

Procedure

  1. Access a machine on which you have Content Manager server installed.
  2. In the config\ subdirectory of %TRIDION_HOME%, open Tridion.ContentManager.config for editing.
  3. Navigate to the configuration section and the search subsection.
  4. Configure the following settings:
    Query engine host URL
    Configure the URL of the Search Host service in the hostUrl attribute of the search element. In an outscale scenario using a Master Server and Slave Server(s):
    • If you have one Slave Server machine configured, specify the URL of that machine. For example, http://slaveserver:8983/tridion.
    • If you have multiple Slave Server machines configured behind a Network Load Balancer, specify the URL of the Network Load Balancer. For example, http://loadbalancer:8983/tridion.
    Query engine username
    Configure the name of the user that can connect to the Search Host service, or a Network Load Balancer(s), in the hostUsername attribute of the search element. By default, the Content Manager configures the MTS User to connect to the Search Host service.
    Query engine password
    Configure the password of the user that can connect to the Search Host service, or a Network Load Balancer(s), in the hostPassword attribute of the search element.
  5. Restart IIS and COM+ to apply the settings you changed.
  6. Repeat the steps for every other machine on which Content Manager is installed.
