In WebOffice 10.5 SP2 it is possible to use an indexed full-text search. This way, multiple layers can be queried at one time. From the technical point of view, the full-text search index is based on the Solr framework which uses Apache Lucene technology. In order to use this functionality several configuration steps are necessary.

 

Installation of the Solr Server (FTS-Index):

The search index is located in the FTS-Index web application. The application gets installed by copying a directory and adapt the Application Context Descriptor (XML file). Therefore, create a new directory called "webapps_custom" in the Tomcat directory and another directory called "FTS-Index" inside the "webapps_custom" folder. Then copy-paste the FTS-Index.zip file from WebOffice10.5-DVD\Software\FTS-Index Web Application\unpackaged\ into the newly created FTS-Index folder and unzip it.

 

Note: Theoretically it would be possible to use one FTS-Index in more WebOffice 10.5 SP2 applications but SynerGIS DOES NOT RECOMMEND this scenario! ONE FTS-Index application should be used by ONE WebOffice 10.5 SP2 application. See also the chapter How to Configure a Full-Text Search for a full description of how to setup more FTS-Index applications.

 

 

The next step is to adapt the context descriptor file FTS-Index.xml from WebOffice10.5-DVD\Software\FTS-Index Web Application\unpackaged\. Copy-paste this file into C:\Tomcat\conf\Catalina\<Hostname>\ and adapt it concerning the parameters docBase, workDir and value.

 

 

 

Note: Now stop Apache Tomcat via the context menu of the task bar and restart the service again.

 

To validate the correct installation of the search index application, enter the URL like: http://[servername]:[tomcat-port]/<search index application name>/#/WebOffice. The filename of the application context descriptor file (without file extension) defines the application name of the search index application, in this case "FTS-Index".

 

 

Note: If you want to rename or use more than one FTS application, please consider the hints in Howto ... Full-Text Search.

Note: When encountering problems related to the full-text search, follow the troubleshooting described in chapter Problems Related to Full-Text Search.
