When installed, the default configuration assumes that all Search modules are running locally. This is not a configuration likely to be used in production, however. This section addresses configuration that must be done in order for Search to communicate with remote Search components, or with other ATG products run in combination.
A typical real-world Search installation includes three servers running one or more of the indicated ATG products:
Management Server—Search Administration, Content Administration (CA), Response Management Administration, or Merchandising
Agent Server—Service Administration, Customer Service Center, Knowledge, Search Routing
Production—Commerce, Self Service, Search Routing
The following diagram shows a Search installation with all configured components. The sections that follow explain the configuration steps that must be performed.
Configure all components in the dynamo/home/servers/servername/localconfig/ configuration layer.
