ATG Search and startRemoteLauncher

If the search engine application is running in a separate box than the ATG CA-BCC deployed server, the search engine is invoked through a remoteLauncher running in these boxes. Means, a remoteLauncher needs to run in the host where SearchEngine is installed remotely to start the search engine. You could find the startRemoteLauncher.sh @ ATG/ATG2007.1/Search2007.1/SearchAdmin/bin/startRemoteLauncher.sh

Start remoteLauncher using the command  ./startremotelauncher.sh –p <RMI Launcher service Port > &

The Launcher Service Port on the host machine can be found in BCC @
Search Administration>Projects > Search Project: gmri_search_en_CA > Environments > Host Machine: > Advanced Settings.

If the startRemoteLanucher reports a BindingException, then you need to find the process that is using the launchServicePort. For that run the netstat command like :  netstat -an |grep 10880
Then inorder to identify the process that uses this port run the command like :
run 'pfiles /proc/* > /export/build/process.txt' .
Then run grep -n 10880 /export/build/process.txt  to get the line number and open the process.txt file and go to the lineNumber and find the ProcessID some few line above.

Basic design decisions for a commerce search setup ( with an ATG Search view)

In this blog I would like to explain the basic set of configuration/design decisions needed to setup an ATG search project. Most of these design decisions are common for all Enterprise search applications. 1. Decide the searchable properties :   This means the properties that the business want the user to search in the ecommerce platform. In ATG search these are configured as the text properties in the product-catalog-output-config.xml ( the definitionFile of the \atg\commerce\search\ProductCatalogOutputConfig). Usually the displayName of product/sku, displayName of department/category/sub-category, skuId, brandName are the properties configured as searchable. 2. Decide the search refinement properties or the faceted properties :   After a user search for a keyword, search refinement is the next step done to filter his results. ATG supports the search refinement using the Faceted Search concept. Read more about facted search @...

ATG Search - high level overview of product-catalog-output-config.xml and XHTMLs

The definition file format begins with a top-level item element that specifies the repository and item descriptor to use, and then lists the properties of that item type to include. The top-level item element has the is-document attribute set to true. This attribute specifies that an XHTML document should be generated for each item of that type (in this case, each user item). Property values that come from standard JavaBean properties of the RepositoryItem object (rather than dynamic bean properties) are specified using a dollar-sign ($) prefix. The item element has an is-multi attribute for specifying multi-value properties. If a property is an Array, Collection or Map  you should set this attribute to true. Eeach ATG Search document is uniquely identified by a URL (typically the path name of the file on the file system). In the XHTML documents that the ATG platform generates from repository items, meta properties are represented by meta tags in the head of the document, whi...
