Add Consolidation Support at Exalead CloudView Installation Time

When finishing Exalead CloudView installation with the setup wizard, in the Processing screen, select Set up a consolidation server role with standard configuration.

Note: You can also enable the support of consolidation directly after Exalead CloudView installation by launching the post-installation script <DATADIR>/bin/postinstall with the --consolidation true option.

It creates a Consolidation Server instance (cs0) that sends its documents to the default build group (bg0).

Add Consolidation Support Manually

  1. In the Administration Console, go to Deployment > Roles.
  2. Add a new Consolidation server role.
  3. Expand the Consolidation server role and define an Instance name for this Consolidation Server.
    You cannot change the Consolidation Server instance name once created.
  4. Apply the configuration.

    Now that the Consolidation Server is deployed, connectors can target its Push API. For more information, see the Exalead CloudView Connectors Guide.

  5. Go to the Home page.

    You can now see a Consolidation section below the Connectors section.



Enable Consolidation on Source Connectors

  1. For each source connector on which consolidation must be applied, go to the Deployment tab.
  2. For Push to PAPI server, select the Consolidation Server instance on which the connector must push its documents.
  3. Apply the configuration.
