Configuring external searches

In order for users to search external sources, an administrator must configure Webtop’s connection to an ECIS search server. If this connection has not been configured, users cannot include external sources in your search.

To configure the connection to an ECIS search server:

  1. Navigate to dfc.properties, located in one of the following, depending on the operating system:

    • %DOCUMENTUM%\config\repository_name

    • $DOCUMENTUM/config/repository_name

  2. Open dfc.properties in a text editor.

  3. Enable the ECIS search server by setting the following:

    dfc.search.ecis.enable=true
    

  4. Specify the RMI Registry host to connect to ECI Server by setting the following:

    dfc.search.ecis.host=localhost
    dfc.search.ecis.port=port

    where localhost is IP address or machine name of the ECI Server and where port is the port number Webtop uses to access the ECI server. The default port is 3005.
