Installing Hummingbird SearchServer 5.3 Under UNIX


The Hummingbird SearchServer 5.3 server can run on a HP-UX, AIX or Solaris computer. You can install Hummingbird SearchServer 5.3 from the installation directory on your Siebel network image. For more information about creating Siebel network images, see the Siebel Installation Guides for the operating system you are using.

If you are using a distributed environment and need to index remote server nodes, Hummingbird SearchServer will need to be installed on each remote server node. Each remote server node is a standalone node that has its own Siebel Server, Name Server, and Database instance. Hummingbird indexes each node separately. For more information on Hummingbird nodes, see the Hummingbird documentation on the Siebel Business Applications Third-Party Bookshelf.

In order to use Siebel Search, you must edit the library path variable in the Siebel script used for setting the environment variables (siebenv.csh or siebenv.sh) so that the library variable includes the Hummingbird library path. For example, you would edit the library path in the script as follows:

  • For Solaris: setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /export/home/fulcrum/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  • For AIX: setenv LIBPATH /export/home/fulcrum/lib:$LIBPATH
  • For HP-UX: setenv SHLIB_PATH /export/home/fulcrum/lib:$SHLIB_PATH

If you do not edit the library path as shown above, and source the new Siebel script before you start the Siebel servers, you may not be able to access the Search Indices View or any valid Search Categories in Search Center.

The following instructions pertain to installing Hummingbird on an AIX system. The procedures are the same for any UNIX system.

The license key listed in Table 8 will be required during the SearchServer installation. Make sure you have it available when you perform installation.

NOTE:  To perform any of the tasks in this chapter, you must log in to the system using the same administrator login ID that you used when performing the Siebel Server installations.
