14 May 2009 This tutorial teaches you how to enable IBM® OmniFind Enterprise Edition
to retrieve WebSphere® Portal Document Manager content from search results through the HTTP streaming servlet that is provided in Information Integrator Content Edition.
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.
About this tutorial
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.
