The Oracle ATG Web Commerce Search installer assumes that all Search modules are running locally, as with the evaluation example in the section; in real use, this will never be the case. This section of the guide addresses configuration that must be done in order for Search to communicate with remote search components, or with other Oracle ATG Web Commerce products. See the Oracle ATG Web Commerce Search Installation Roadmaps section for some common multi-server arrangements.

Note: Before you begin, review the documentation for each of the products you plan to configure.

The sections that follow explain the configuration steps involved. Configure all components in the <ATG10dir>/home/servers/servername/localconfig/ configuration layer. See Creating Additional ATG Server Instances in the ATG Installation and Configuration Guide for information on creating servers.
