Indexing DB2 on zOS or O/S400
March 19th, 2009
One of the most significant improves to the Google Search Appliance over the last couple of years has been in inclusion of the on board appliance database feeder. With this technology, administrators can create crawls directly against several standard databases.
However, a limitation is that there is only one driver per database. We’ve had several customers encounter this issue when connecting to DB2 on zOS or the 400. This is a significant limitation when you are attempting to index your WCS database for something like product catalog search.
We’ve constructed an off appliance database connector that functions very similarly to the appliance. It’s customizable to be able to use any JDBC connector and any transformation prior to submittal to the appliance.
We’ll be publishing the details shortly on the main website. Until then, contact usfor more information.
