JCR search service configuration parameters

The following search service configuration parameters can be modified to enable and configure searching for content that is stored in the JCR database. These JCR search service configuration parameters can be modified by accessing the JCR ConfigService PortalContent resource environment provider.

To access the JCR search service configuration parameters that are stored in the JCR ConfigService PortalContent resource environment provider, complete the following steps:
  1. Log in to WebSphere® Integrated Solutions Console.
  2. Click Resources > Resource Environment > Resource Environment Providers and select JCR ConfigService PortalContent.
  3. In the Additional Properties section of the Configuration window, select Custom properties.
Important: There are many configuration parameters in the JCR ConfigService PortalContent resource environment provider that must not be modified. Do not modify any configuration parameters that are not referenced in the following list, unless you are directed to do so by IBM support.
