Search Administration and all search engines must have access to the deployment share directory in order to deploy and search indexes. This is a single, scalable, shared directory where master copies of indexes are stored. Your installation can have only one deployment share. This directory should ideally be located on a high-performance drive separate from the Search Administration machine. For all machines running search engines, the deployshare directory must be mounted at the same location, and the path must be exactly the same for all components accessing this directory.

On each server on which you plan to run the DAF.Search.Routing module, configure the shared deployment directory. To do this, change the deployShare property in the /atg/search/routing/LaunchingService component on each server. Make sure the deployment directory is visible to all of the servers running search engines. For example, a Windows path might be:

deployShare=\\\\yourSharedDirectory\\yourDeployShareDirectory
