What Is 3DSearch?

3DSearch is the front-end search service used by 3DEXPERIENCE platform users to get search results coming from 3DSpace and 3DSwym sources.

Architecture

The following diagram describes the 3DSearch service in detail:

Prerequisites

Check the following elements before installing 3DSearch:

  • OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Suse, and Windows Server.
  • The 3DSearch service requires a Java Development Kit (JDK) and an Apache TomEE+ application server.
    Recommendation: It is better to install the embedded ones during the installation setup (see Installing 3DSearch step 6). However, if you already have a JDK and Apache TomEE+ installed on your machine, you can reuse them, provided they have the required level.
  • For the Reverse Proxy SSL and load balancing, use Apache httpd or HA Proxy.

For more information about the prerequisites, see the Deployment: Strategic Platform Requirements: Server Hardware and Software Requirements section of the Program Directory.
