2.15.6 Configuring Navigator Search Group Using ACM Template

In PeopleSoft Interaction Hub, you can combine navigator searches from multiple content providers into a single Navigator global search group. This can be achieved through Remote Search Group Configuration plug-in available in Automated Configuration Manager.

This plug-in can be found under the ACM Template named CLUSTER_TEMPLATE.

See PeopleTools: Administration Tools, “Automated Configuration Management,” for running a template.

When you run the Remote Search Groups plug-in, the plug-in does the following:

  1. Imports the search group from the source.

  2. Adds the search group to the search context.

  3. Merges the groups in the search instance (SES/ES).

Before you can run the ACM Template:

  1. You must verify that the roles are assigned to the user. To verify:

    1. Select PeopleTools, Security, User Profiles, User Profiles.

    2. On the User Profiles page, select the Roles tab.

    3. Verify that the ACM Administrator role is assigned to the user.

  2. Deploy and index search definition for Navigator, PTPORTALREGISTRY from all the applications.

To execute CLUSTER_TEMPLATE:

  1. Select PeopleTools, Automated Config Manager, ACM Templates, Define ACM Templates.

  2. On the Template Definition search page, search by the template name CLUSTER_TEMPLATE.

  3. Select Remote Search Group Configuration Plugin, as shown in the following example:

  4. Navigate to the Properties page by clicking on the Properties icon for this plug-in. On the Properties page, set the nodes names from which the navigator search group needs to be imported, as shown in the following table:

    env.search_network.NODE1

    		  

    Comma separated list of nodes from which search groups need to be imported to the NODE1 node.

  5. Click OK to set the values and return to the Configuration Template Definition page.

  6. Save the template and click on Execute.

  7. On successful execution, navigator search groups from all the nodes will be combined in the source node.
