About this task
Once you have configured one or more remote servers and remote clients for a search
collection, you will want to distribute the index. To populate the index on a remote client,
do the following:
Procedure
-
Make sure that the Ignore seeds parameter in the client configuration is
checked. This ensures that the collection will not attempt to crawl and index data itself,
but will instead get index data from the server with which it is synchronzied.
-
If you can afford the time required to re-crawl the search collection that you will be
distributing to clients, initiate a crawl for the search collection that is configured to
be the remote server.
If you cannot afford the time required to re-crawl the search collection that you will
be distributing to clients, set the Remote rebase URL on the clients and do not
initiate a crawl for the search collection that you are distributing.
-
Initiate a crawl on the remote clients.
