Component overview
FTS in Content Manager OnDemand consists of the FTS Server, the Full Text Search Exporter (FTS Exporter), and a Content Manager OnDemand server that uses both components to provide FTS to the users.
Full Text Search Server
The FTS feature in Content Manager OnDemand is a separately licensed component that must be downloaded and installed. It contains the FTS Server. Full text Indexing and Search functionality can be implemented on any Content Manager OnDemand platform (z/OS, IBM i, and Multiplatforms). The FTS Server itself runs only on Multiplatforms systems. The FTS Server is typically installed on a different system than the Content Manager OnDemand server because of the difference in workload types and the amount of processing that is required for high performance and throughput.
Full Text Search Exporter
The FTS Exporter is a Java application,
which is available as a JAR file named ODFTIExporter.jar,
that comes with the Content Manager OnDemand server installation.
The ODFTIExporter.jar file is in the jars
subdirectory.
- Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) database drivers for your Content Manager OnDemand database (Db2, Oracle, or SQL Server on Windows).
- Java Runtime Environment (JRE) to run the
ODFTIExporter.jarfile.
The FTS Exporter communicates with the Content Manager OnDemand server to retrieve the documents that are sent to the FTS Server. It uses a JDBC connection to
the Content Manager OnDemand database to read the
ARSFTIWORK table.
The FTS Exporter can be run on the Content Manager OnDemand server system or from any other system that is connected by TCP/IP. The FTS Exporter does not require the existence of the Content Manager OnDemand database on the same system. The FTS Exporter obtains the instance configuration from the Content Manager OnDemand server.
