15.3.1  Component overview
FTS in Content Manager OnDemand consists of the FTS Server, the Full Text Search 
Exporter (FTS Exporter), and a Content Manager OnDemand server that uses both 
components to provide FTS to the users.
Full Text Search Server
The FTS feature in Content Manager OnDemand is a separately licensed component that 
must be downloaded and installed. It contains the FTS Server. Full text Indexing and Search 
functionality can be implemented on any Content Manager OnDemand platform (z/OS, IBM i, 
and Multiplatform). The FTS Server itself runs only on Multiplatforms systems. The FTS 
Server is typically installed on a different system than the Content Manager OnDemand 
server because of the difference in workload types and the amount of processing that is 
required for high performance and throughput. 
Full Text Search Exporter
The FTS Exporter is a Java application, which is available as a JAR file (ODFTIExporter.jar), 
that comes with the Content Manager OnDemand server installation (starting with version 
9.0). The ODFTIExporter.jar file is in the jars subdirectory. 
The FTS Exporter relies on the following components:
/SM590000Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) database drivers for your Content Manager 
OnDemand database (DB2, Oracle, or SQL Server on Windows).
/SM590000Java Runtime Environment (JRE) (Java 1.7.0) or later can be used to run the 
ODFTIExporter.jar file.
The FTS Exporter communicates with the Content Manager OnDemand server to retrieve the 
documents that are sent to the FTS Server. It uses a JDBC connection to the Content 
Manager OnDemand database to read the arsftiwork table.
The FTS Exporter can be run on the Content Manager OnDemand server system or from any 
other system that is connected by TCP/IP . The FTS Exporter does not require the existence 
of the Content Manager OnDemand database on the same system. The FTS Exporter 
obtains the instance configuration from the Content Manager OnDemand server. 
For more information, see 15.4.2, “Configuration of the Full Text Search Exporter” on 
page 344.
15.3.2  Installing the FTS Server
Install the FTS Server on a Multiplatforms system by running the FTS Server setup program. 
Use the command-line parameter -i console for a console mode setup. 
The setup creates a set of directories under the FTS_Home (installation target) directory. Most 
of these directories are not modified after the installation. 
Note: Ensure that you apply the latest Content Manager OnDemand version and fix pack 
to the Content Manager OnDemand server and the FTS Server component before you use 
FTS.
