Disabling IBM Legacy Content Search Engine

If you created indexes in an object store by using IBM® Legacy Content Search Engine in a previous version of FileNet® P8, you need to disable (decommission) IBM Legacy Content Search Engine.

Procedure

To disable IBM Legacy Content Search Engine:

  1. Start Administration Console for Content Platform Engine if you did not already do so:
    1. On any computer, open a browser and navigate to the Administration Console for Content Platform Engine logon page:
      • In a standard availability environment, the logon page is at http://CPE_Server:port/acce. CPE_Server is the name of the system where Content Platform Engine is deployed. port is the HTTP port that is used by the application server where Content Platform Engine is deployed.
      • In a high availability environment, the logon page is at http://virtual_server:port/acce. virtual_server is the name of the load balancer or proxy server where the clusters of Content Platform Engine is deployed. port is the port number of the load balancer or proxy server.
    2. Log on as the gcd_admin user.
  2. For each object store in which you want to disable IBM Legacy Content Search Engine, complete the following substeps:
    1. In the domain navigation pane, select the object store for which you want to disable IBM Legacy Content Search Engine.
    2. In the Content pane, click the Properties tab.
    3. Scroll to the Verity Domain Configuration property. Set the property value to null by selecting Unset Value from the property drop-down list. Setting the value to null causes the index areas, the collections, and the related index requests to be deleted.
  3. To determine that all the index requests are deleted, complete the following substeps:
    1. Browse to http://CPE_Server:port/FileNet/AutomaticUpgradeStatus. CPE_Server is the name of the system where Content Platform Engine is deployed. port is the WSI port that is used by the application server where Content Platform Engine is deployed.
    2. For each object store, if LCSE Decommission is in the Upgrade Status column, then index requests are still being deleted. When LCSE Decommission no longer appears, then no index requests remain for that object store.
  4. To remove all Verity Domain Configurations from the Domain object:
    1. Select the Domain tab.
    2. Click the property Name column and sort the properties from Z to A by using the Down Arrow. Verity Properties are displayed at the top of the column.
    3. In the Verity Domain Configurations property, select a Verity Domain Configuration from the drop down list.
      Important: Do not select the domain from the Verity Domain Configuration property.
    4. On the Verity Domain tab, select Actions/Delete.
    5. Click Refresh in the domain.
    6. Repeat steps 4c, 4d, and 4e until all of the Verity Domain Configurations are deleted.
