Installing the Index Search Server in Standalone Mode
Install the index search server (Solr) outside of Windchill. For example:
• (Windows) D:\ptc\IndexSearchServer
• (Unix) /opt/ptc/IndexSearchServer
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, and then complete the following fields:
Option
Description
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.
Once installation is complete, follow the steps outlined under Windchill Index Search Post-Installation Configuration and Configure the Standalone Index Search Server.
