Discover Database Search Server

The HCL Discover Database Search Server provides to the Portal the ability to search the HCL Discover database on the specified server.

Note: The HCL Discover database and the ability to search it require separate installation and configuration.
  • See "Installation" in the HCL Discover Administration Manual.
  • See "Configuring Session Attribute Search" in the HCL Discover Administration Manual.

During HCL Discover installation, a new Search Server entry is created for you in the Portal Management page. Additional configuration is not likely to be required.

  • You can execute commands and download logs from the server through the Portal Management page. See Server Toolbar.
  • The database that is searched may or may not be co-located on the same machine that hosts the HCL Discover server. For each server specified in the Portal Management page, you may specify a server hosting the HCL Discover database instance to query.
Note: To uninstall a HCL Discover Server that is hosted on a machine that is remote from the Portal Server, you must also remove the server reference from the Portal Management page after removing the software.
