In general, a FileNet® P8 domain
has multiple object stores, and all the indexed objects are stored
in a single Verity domain. You can improve scalability and performance
by dedicating a Verity domain to one object store. By configuring
a new Verity domain for each object store and reusing the existing
Verity index collections, you can avoid the need to re-index all of
the content of an object store.
Important: If you intend to change the language
on the object store, do not reuse preexisting collections. Instead,
you must re-index the content.
To dedicate a Verity domain to one object store:
- Install and configure IBM® Legacy
Content Search Engine (Autonomy K2) on a machine. Note that to take an Autonomy K2 machine out of one Verity domain
and put it in another Verity domain, you have to uninstall and then
reinstall Autonomy K2.
- Define a new VerityDomainConfiguration object using IBM FileNet Enterprise Manager:
- Log on to IBM FileNet Enterprise Manager.
- Navigate to the properties page of the FileNet P8 domain and click the Verity
Domains tab.
- Click Create Configuration and
establish a new Verity domain object. Note that all existing
Verity domains are displayed in the Verity Domains tab.
- Enable Content Engine CBR
tracing.
- Disable the CBR Dispatcher on each P8 Server within
the same Site as the object store whose collections you are moving.
By default, the CBR Dispatcher is enabled or disabled at
the P8 Domain level. If you have multiple virtual P8 sites, you might
have overridden this setting at the P8 Site level. If you upgraded FileNet P8 from version 4.0.1, you
might have overridden the setting at the Server level.
You can
find your setting on the Verity Server tab on the FileNet P8 Domain, Site, Virtual
Servers, or Server properties page.
- Check the Content Engine CBR
trace by looking for the last line that indicates the number of active
or running CBR executors for the object store. The following
lines are typical trace lines:
Active CBR Executor count is '0' for Object Store 'TestOS1'
Running CBR Executor count is '0' for Object Store 'TestOS1'
If
the active count or the running count is greater than 0, then wait
until the trace log specifies a 0 value:
- Open the Properties page of the object store and click
the CBR tab.
- Select the VerityDomainConfiguration object in the drop-down
list that contains all the available Verity domains.
- Copy the Verity collections for the object store from the
original Verity domain location to the new one:
- Navigate to the path identified in the index area as
the Root Dir Path.
- Copy the directories that have the name of the object
store to a new Root Dir Path that the new Verity domain can access.
Important: Do not put the Autonomy K2 collections
from multiple domains into the same directory.
- In the Autonomy K2 dashboard for the Verity domain whose
collections you copied, remove the collections that have the name
of the object store.
- Open the properties page for each index area associated
with the object store and verify that the following values are correct:
- Root Dir Path
- Temp Dir Path
- Verity Search Servers
- Verity Index Servers
- Enable the CBR Dispatcher for each Content Engine server in the FileNet P8 site.
- Repeat the preceding steps if you have another object store
that needs a dedicated Verity domain.
