The goal of this roadmap is to install and configure a Search installation that does not integrate with any other applications, but allows you to run Search Administration and index content for evaluation purposes.
Before you begin:
Make sure you have your database information at hand, and that any necessary drivers are installed.
Select a Search Deployment Share directory. See Configuring the DeployShare Directory in this guide. In a self-contained installation, this can be any local directory with enough room for your index.
To set up a Search environment for evaluation:
Install your application server. See the ATG Installation and Configuration Guide for information on configuring your application server for ATG products.
Download and install ATG products:
ATG platform; select all components when installing. See the ATG Installation and Configuration Guide.
ATG Search; select the Full Search Install option. Install the HTML and PDF components if needed (see Installing HTMLFilter and Installing PDF Extract in this guide). See Installing Search in this chapter.
Create the database tables. If you are using the SOLID evaluation database, it already includes all of the tables you need to run the ATG platform; if not, see the ATG Installation and Configuration Guide for platform database configuration. See Creating the Search Database Tables in this guide for Search-specific tables.
Assemble and deploy an ATG application EAR file. Include the
SearchAdmin.AdminUImodule in the EAR. See the Assembling Applications section of the Developing and Assembling Nucleus-Based Applications chapter in the ATG Programming Guide for details on application assembly.Start your ATG application, log in, and navigate to Search Administration. See Accessing Search Administration in this chapter.
You can then create a Search project, index content, and create customization data as described in the ATG Search Administration Guide. Note that without a client application, you will not be able to search your index.
