Discover Database Search Server

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

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

During Unica 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 Unica Discover server. For each server specified in the Portal Management page, you may specify a server hosting the Unica Discover database instance to query.
Note: To uninstall a Unica 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.
