Specify the Crawler Server

When you create a new connector, you must specify which Crawler Server hosts it. If a Crawler Server does not already exist, you are prompted to create one when adding the new Crawler connector.

If a Crawler Server already exists, any new Crawler connector is automatically associated with it.

Deploy a New Crawler Server

  1. In the Administration Console, select Deployment > Roles and click Add roles.
  2. In the list of roles, select the Crawler Server and click Accept.
  3. In the new Crawler Server box:
    • For Instance name, enter a unique name. For example, exa1.
  4. Click Apply.

Specify the Push API Server

Before a connector can push documents to Exalead CloudView, it must retrieve the URL of the Push API server with which it communicates. By default, this is Build group bg0.

Change the Build Group for a Connector

  1. On the Administration Console Home page, under Connectors, click the connector name.
  2. Go to the Deployment tab.
  3. For Push to PAPI server, select the appropriate Push API server from the list.
  4. Click Apply.
