Overview of Submitting a Query

To send the RDMHeader and RDMQuery objects to the search engine to perform a query request, you can use the pre-built sendrdm program (located in PortalServer-base/lib directory). This program takes an RDM request (which is a message in SOIF format), sends it to the search engine, and outputs the results as a SOIF stream. You can also use HTTP to post an RDM stream directly to the server through its URL http://server:port/search-ID/search). The program must be run in a search-enabled Sun Java System Portal Server software instance directory such as the default PortalServer-DataDir/searchservers/search1/ directory.

You should also change the definitions for MY_CSID, MY_SCOPE and MY_ATTR_VIEW to suit your needs.
