Configuring Search Server Import Agent

Our customer is using PS7 with multiple search server instances - each crawling different resource. We want to import the searched databases to one search server instance and so far have not had much luck configuring the import agents correctly. The search instances are on one machine so we tried both the local and remote import agent options, but have only received errors as such:

[#|2006-10-03T13:44:26.681-0400|WARNING|SJS Portal Server|debug.com.sun.portal.search.rdmgr|ThreadID=10; ClassName=com.sun.portal.search.rdmgr.RDSubmit; MethodName=proces

Here is a location of the db that we are trying to retrieve

/var/opt/sun/portal/searchservers/search_instance/db/db_dir/rd.db

Can someone please provide configuration details for achieving this on RHEL3 install of PS7?

Thanks in advance.

If you can post the import agents you created( /var/opt/sun/portal/searchservers/search_instance/config/import.conf), we might be able to find the problem there.

Since a basic import agent is only use the timestamp to import, a looping import might happened if two instances both import from other with same database name.

Here is the basic setup for running two robots on different sites and storing the data in different database name

search1:robot1 -> databaseA

search2: robot2 -> databaseB

You need import agents

search1:import1 -> search2:databaseB ->databaseB

search2:import1 -> search1:databaseA-> databaseA

If the collected data from different robots needs to go to same database, then you should set up another database for users to search and you will need following import agents

search1:import1 -> search2:databaseB -> databaseC

search1:import2 -> search1:databaseA ->databaseC

search2:import1 -> search2:databaseB -> databaseC

search2:import2 -> search1:databaseA ->databaseC
