Installing the Index Search Server in Cloud Mode
The following example installs the index search server in cloud mode with three Zookeeper nodes and two Solr nodes.
• Windows:
D:\ptc\IndexSearchServer_Solr1
D:\ptc\IndexSearchServer_Solr2
D:\ptc\IndexSearchServer_ZK1
D:\ptc\IndexSearchServer_ZK2
D:\ptc\IndexSearchServer_ZK3
• Unix:
/opt/ptc/IndexSearchServer_Solr1
/opt/ptc/IndexSearchServer_Solr2
/opt/ptc/IndexSearchServer_ZK1
/opt/ptc/IndexSearchServer_ZK2
/opt/ptc/IndexSearchServer_ZK3
This example installs the first node, and should be repeated four more times for each subsequent node.
Under the Standalone Product or Component section, select the following options:
• Java Development Kit (JDK)—This step is optional and can be ignored if you are using and existing Java installation. Java version 8 or higher is required.
• PTC Windchill Index Search Server
Under the Define Settings section, specify the Base Installation Directory with the first node. For example:
Option | Description |
Enable PTC Windchill Index Search High Availability | Select this option when you are installing the index search server in cloud mode. |
PTC Windchill Index Search Zookeeper Hosts | A comma-separated list of zookeeper hosts. Enter the host names and ports separated by a comma: <host_name_1>:<port_1>,<host_name_2>:<port_2> For example: host1.ptc.com:12181,host2.ptc.com:12182,host3.ptc.com:12183 |
PTC Windchill Index Search Host Name | Hostname of the machine on which Solr is being installed. By default, this is the fully qualified name of the current machine. |
Directory to store Index Search Data | The directory where you want Windchill Index Search data to be stored. | Index data should be stored on a local file system. Remote file systems are typically quite a bit slower for indexing. If your index needs to be on the remote file system, consider building it first on the local file system and then copying it up to the remote file system. |
|
PTC Windchill Index Search Port Number | The port on which the Windchill search index starts. By default, this is port 8085. |
PTC Windchill Index Search Administrative User | The username to use when connecting to Solr. |
PTC Windchill Index Search Administrative Password | The password to use when connecting to Solr. |
