Warning: The use of more than one IDOL Instance (Content) requires the purchase of the High Scalability Kit license. Running this command without the High Scalability Kit license will cause DocuShare to stop working.
Note: The purpose of this configuration change is to improve the IDOL Server performance for indexing and searching as well as overall DocuShare performance.
Note: This applies to DocuShare 6.5.x and higher.
Note: You must be a Windows Administrator to perform this solution
To Add a second IDOL instance to the existing disk partition where DocuShare is installed:
Warning: If the High Scalability Kit license has not been applied to your DocuShare before performing this solution DocuShare will not remain running once another IDOL instance (Content) has been added.
1. Open a command prompt window.
2. Change into the Xerox\Docushare\bin directory.
3. Export IDOL by doing the following, type idoltool-s export <export path> and press Enter.
Where <export path> is replaced with the path to the location you want to IDOL to export to.
Example: idoltool-s export C:\Docushare\idolexport
4. Once IDOL has been exported, Stop Docushare in Services.
5. Open a command prompt window.
6. Change into the Xerox\Docushare\bin directory.
7. Type idoltool and press Enter.
8. From the idoltool command prompt type addinstance and press Enter.
At this point the following directories are created:
· Xerox\Docushare\IDOLServer\content0
· Xerox\Docushare\IDOLServer\content1
Example:
D:\Xerox\Docushare\bin>idoltool
-------
Running idoltool
>addinstance
NOTE: It is required that all the IDOL servers are NOT running before this command.
Press ENTER to continue:
Copying content directory to content0...
Renaming content directory to content.bak...
Resetting D:\Xerox\Docushare\IDOLServer\content0...
Copying content0 to content1...
Resetting D:\Xerox\Docushare\IDOLServer\content1...
resetContentData: Resetting D:\Xerox\Docushare\IDOLServer\content1...
Updating idol cfg files...
Enabling distributed architecture...
Reloading new cfg contents...
Resetting D:\Xerox\Docushare\IDOLServer\IDOL...
Enabling content0 and content1 in Monitor.xml...
addinstance: Done.
9. Once the command completes, from the idol prompt, type resetserver all y and press Enter.
Note: This will clear the old and the new content directories.
Warning: Do not manually cleanup or remove the old content directory, DocuShare still stores system files in the <dshome>\IDOLServer\IDOL\content directory so this should not be removed.
10. From the idol prompt, type exit and press Enter to close idoltool.
11. Start DocuShare.
12. Once DocuShare has started successfully, in a web browser type the following URL http://localhost:9001/DREADD?Filename=C:\Docushare\idolexport\export-0.idx.gz
Where export-0.idx.gz is the name of the file generated by the export command and the port for IDOL is the port you have configured for your environment (the default port is 9001).
Note: This will add the export back to be across both engines.
