ATG - basic concepts of ATG

This blog is for the ATG beginners to get some basic overview about ATG. I just given the ATG concepts as a list of numbered points for the ease of understanding. 1. At the framework level, ATG is a java based application platform for hosting web-based applications, as well as RMI accessible business components, with an ORM layer, a component container, an MVC framework, and a set of tag libraries for JSP. 2.

ATG Search - how to configure multiple language search

Here I am going to explain the steps involved in configuring the multi-language ATG Search if your site support multiple language. I have given the different steps in indexing and search flows. Indexing flow : You could configure different search projects for different locales to support parallel search indexing for each locale. You could setup search environment for the search projects so that the indexing host is different for the two projects. Configure the LocaleVariantProducer @ ProductCatalogOutputConfig to specify the locale for the new language. Include the language dictionaries you need in Search Admin on the Search Projects which can be used for indexing and searching in multiple languages. Specify the locales @ \atg\search\config\LanguageDimensionService so that you could configure the search configurations for each language. When you create the search configuration tree, specify the "Contents vary by" as Language, to configure the search configurations li...

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 t...

ATG search installation and search engine log files

Here I would like to explain how your ATG search folder structure looks like after you do the ATG search installation and also about the search engine log files. To get the ATG search, you need to install the ATGSearch<version>Windows.exe after you do the ATG installation. When you install ATG search, the generated folders include an OS dependant folder. In the below screen shot, you could see the "i686-win32-vc71" folder and this is generated since the ATG search ins installed in a windows machine. The ATG search engine is actually an exe file inside this "i686-win32-vc71" folder. Below screen shot give you an idea about the "atgsearch.exe", which is the search engine application. This search engine application (atgsearch.exe) is started by a remote launcher call from the BCC search administration UI. The log files like "atgsearch_20120106112413_568.log" are the search engine log files where you could see the engine ...
