Search

When migrating search, necessary server.xml changes are made and the collections directory from the Web Server 6.1 server instance is moved to the search collection index directory specified during migration. If the directory is not specified, the search collection will not be migrated.

Also note the following considerations:

The following table lists other changes related to search.

Table 5–3 Changes Related to Search

Changes in Web Server 7.0 

Description 

Element changes in server.xml

  • SEARCH is now called search-app.

  • SEARCHCOLLECTION is now called search-collection-copy-path.

  • The PROPERTY subelement has been removed from SEARCHCOLLECTION.

  • The WEBAPP subelement has been removed, a uri attribute has been added to point to the search web application, and most of the attribute names have changed.

search-collection-copy-path

Specifies the path to which search collection information will be copied when migrating search collections. The following migration scenarios are possible: If the Web Server 6.0 or 6.1 search collection path is outside the Web Server 6.0 or 6.1 instance, then the migrated search collection path will point to the Web Server 6.0 or 6.1 search collection path, and this option will be disregarded. If the Web Server 6.0 or 6.1 search collection path is within the Web Server 6.0 or 6.1 instance, and a valid path is specified for this option, then the search collection information will be copied to the following directory: searchCollectionPath/configName/virtualServerName/collectionName. If the specified path is not valid, an error message will be logged. If the Web Server 6.0 or 6.1 search collection path is within the Web Server 6.0 or 6.1 instance but no path is specified for this option, then the search collection information will not be copied. A message will be written to the migration log asking the user to manually copy the search collection information using the wadm add-search-docs command. In this case, the migrated search collection path will be the following: WebServer7Config-base/https-configName/config/collections/virtualServerName/collectionName.
