Creating a Hummingbird Client Connector Under Windows

To configure Search Server to work in a client/server environment, you must configure the server, then the client. To enable remote searching, you must create a client connector on the machine where Hummingbird SearchServer was installed.

NOTE:  Hummingbird client connector directory paths must not contain spaces.

Configuring a server node involves defining one or more services. Each service corresponds to a unique network access path that responds to a valid client connection request, by activating a Search Server process. The server process acts as the client's agent, and provides access to the set of tables associated with the access path. After configuring the server, you must configure the client, and use the client to verify the client and server configuration.

Configuring a Client Connector for Remote Searching

To create the server in the Hummingbird Connector Manager, complete the following steps.

NOTE:  All directory paths listed below must be free of spaces.

To create a client connector on the server

1. From the Windows Start menu, choose Programs/Hummingbird/SearchServer/Hummingbird Connector Manager.
2. Locate the Siebel Server directory. For example: c:\siebsrvr\...
3. Click Setup, and then click Add in the Hummingbird Connector Server Service Setup dialog box.
4. Enter the values as shown below:
   1. Select Automatic to start the service automatically when the computer is started.
   2. Client Connector: The client connector uses the symbol for the network protocol in use, and the port. The default protocol along with port number is tcp2048.
   3. Fulcreate: Specify the location where the tables are created. For example, C:\SEA78\siebsrvr\search\ServerDataSrc\index.
   4. Fulsearch: Specify the directory or directories where the tables will be searched. Multiple directories must be separated by a semicolon. For example, C:\siebesrvr\search\ServerDataSrc\index;
C:\program files\Hummingbird\SearchServer<version>\fultext.
   5. Fultemp: Specify the location for temporary files during indexing and searching operations. For example, C:\siebsrvr\search\ServerDataSrc\temp.
5. For the Connection Security option, click Ignored (Ignored is the default option).
6. After completing the Client Connector setup, click OK to add the Client Connector Service and then click Close in Hummingbird Connector Service Setup.
7. Start the service by clicking OK, and then click Close.
8. In the Hummingbird Connector Service Setup, highlight the service and click Start.
9. If you wish, click Close. (If you close the window, you must reopen the Hummingbird Connector Manager when you want to stop the service.)

   The service must be started before users can access the search indices through the client connector.

   NOTE:  You should start and stop the Hummingbird Client Connector through Hummingbird Connector Manager not directly in Windows Services Control Panel.

   The service must be started before users can access the search indices through the client connector.

Configuring the Client for Remote Searching

To configure the client for remote searching in the Hummingbird Connector Manager, complete the following steps.

To configure Siebel Server for remote searching under Windows

1. Run Siebel Server installation wizard.
2. Enter the Remote Search Server Name, and Port Number.
3. Follow the remainder of the installation instructions listed in the Siebel Server Installation Guide for the operating system you are using.

NOTE:  To configure an existing Siebel Server for remote searching under Windows, see Modifying Siebel Search Parameters for Installation of Hummingbird on an Existing Siebel Server.
