IBM WebSphere Portal Search Collection with Virutal Portals


Integrating IBM WebSphere Portal Search with IBM Workplace Web Content Management

Description for the confusion we had in search collections:
When we login to the portal admin site we have default portal, Virtual Portal 1 and Virtual Portal 2. WCM library is shared across all the portals, but if we see Search Collections for Search Management portlet of Virtual Portal 1, it would not show Virtual Portal 2 Collection. And, if you edit the Site in WCM Admin, it would show the collection is missing if the Virtual Portal 2 Collection is being used in WCM.
Crawler for both the collections would be working fine irrespective of what collection is being used in WCM site, even once the content Source is generated and crawler is working, the collection can be removed from the WCM site, it would not affect anything.
The Search portlet uses the collection from the physical path that needs to be set in Search and Brows Portlet’s parameter.


Default Search Collection for VirtualPortal1: VirtualPortal1Collection
C:\IBM\WebSphere\wp_profile\PortalServer\collections\VirtualPortal1Collection
Default Search Collection for VirtualPortal2: VirtualPortal2Collection
C:\IBM\WebSphere\wp_profile\PortalServer\collections\VirtualPortal2Collection
