If global search is running as a service, you can use the operating system to stop the global search services.

  2. Click Administration menu > System Configuration > Global Search and click Disable.
  3. Log on to the search server as a user with administrative privileges.
  4. Stop the search services.

    Windows

    :
    1. Click Start > Windows Administrative Tools > Services.
    2. Locate the service that is called IBM OpenPages GRC - Global Search.
    3. Click Stop.
    On Linux®, run the following command:
    service openpages-search stop
  5. Verify that global search is fully stopped.
    1. In the directory <SEARCH_HOME>/opsearchtools/, examine the files opsearchtool_openpages.state and opsearchtool_folderacl.state and verify that the PID value is -1.
    2. Open a browser and point to your search server at ports 8983 and 8985. Make sure that the Solr search platform cannot be reached.
      For example, http://<search-server>:8983/ and http://<search-server>:8985/.

      If the stop verification fails, repeat the preceding step and then follow the steps in Forcing a reset of global search.
