Engineering Node Operation

This document describes how to operate the Search Core software, specifically for the Engineering Node installation. The following topics can be found in this document:

PDS EN Index Generation

This procedure details the PDS Engineering-specific procedure for generating the Solr Index and posting to all operational machines.

  • Log onto pdssrv2.
  • If needed, update $SEARCH_CORE_HOME/bin/env-vars with, the following information:
    • SEARCH_HOME=/usr/local/search-service/pds
    • SEARCH_SERVICE_URL=http://localhost/search-service
    • REGISTRY_URL=http://localhost/registry
  • As pds user, run the initial-index-pdsen script, substituting today's date for <date>:
    % sudo su pds
    % initial-index-pdsen &> index_<date>.log
    	    

Test Search Service

Once this script completes, the data should be available through the Search Service interface. Go to http://localhost:8080/search-service/pds/search/?q=*:* to verify data is available (modify domain and port as needed). See the Search Service - Operate page for more information on how to query data.

Note: To further streamline the process, the command-line arguments can be removed from the initial-index script, and the search-core line can modified according to your specific needs.
