Before you start
IBM OmniFind Enterprise Edition is a search product that provides scalable, secure, and high-quality enterprise search. OmniFind Enterprise Edition crawls documents from a supported data source, parses the content to extract text information for linguistic analysis, and then builds indexes to add information about these documents to enable search by users. When search results are returned in a browser, users can click on any search result in the list to retrieve the corresponding document for viewing.
This tutorial focuses on WebSphere Portal Document Manager as the data source and describes the steps you can perform to enable documents in the search results to be streamed to the user's browser. Throughout the tutorial, references to the Information Integrator Content Edition Portal Document Manager refer to the direct mode of the connector.
After completing this tutorial, you should understand the value of the streaming option of the OmniFind Enterprise Search application. You should also be able to configure streaming for content retrieval in an OmniFind Enterprise Edition search application.
To follow the steps in this tutorial, you need to have the following products installed:
- Portal server — Windows® 2003 Enterprise Edition
- WebSphere Application Server Base, Version 6.0.2.27 (6.0.2 fix pack 27)
- WebSphere Portal Server Version 6.0
- Information Integrator Content Edition Version 8.4
- IBM Tivoli Directory Server Version 6.0

- OmniFind Enterprise Edition Version 8.5.0.100 (8.5 fix pack 1)
- Information Integrator Content Edition Version 8.4
This tutorial assumes that document retrieval without any streaming option enabled (as described in the next section) already works .
