Installation Notes

DOCUMENT VIEWER

• For new Document Viewer installation, PrizmDoc 13.x runs the client and the server on the same box.
• For upgrades with Document Viewer installed, PrizmDoc will continue to run the client on the DocuShare server and the PrizmDoc 12.x on another server.
• For upgrades without Document viewer, PrizmDoc 13.x runs the client and the server on the same box.

SOLR

• Currently, we do not support running multiple DocuShare instances on a single VM with Solr.
• The Solr engine is started automatically after DocuShare 7.7 Installation (both Linux and Windows). However, if Linux machine is restarted, the Solr engine must be started manually before starting DocuShare
• Only a net new install will provide the Solr engine. Upgrade from DocuShare 7.0 IDOL Service will keep IDOL engine. Also, upgrade from DocuShare 7.5 that is still running IDOL server will keep IDOL engine.

Additional Notes

Currently there is no migration/upgrade path to move from IDOL to Solr search engine (KeyView/IDOL to Tika/Solr)

• Current customers who are running on IDOL must remain on IDOL.
• Running IDOL and Tika on the same server will cause conflict in the search functionality.
