The URL to Dovetail Seeker is required for Dovetail Search to operate correctly. You can configure this parameter manually using the Clarify Client application or by importing a supplied configuration file using Clarify dataex or Dovetail ArchiveManager (DIET).

Follow the step below to configure the DovetailSeekerURL parameter using the Clarify client:

Manual Configuration

Using the Clarify client, select the 'Policies and Customers' application, followed by 'Setup' > 'Configuration Items' option from the menu.

Enter the following data as shown and click the 'Save' button:

Note: <server name> is the server where Dovetail Seeker is installed.

Alternatively, you may configure the DovetailSeekerURL parameter using a data file import:

Edit the Configuration File

The search_config.dat file contains the DovetailSeekerUrl configuration item needed by Dovetail Search. Use your favorite text editor to edit the search_config.dat file. Specifically, set the str_value property of the DovetailSeekerUrl configuration item to be the exact URL of the Dovetail Seeker web application.

Import the Configuration File

After editing the file, you must import this file into your database. Dovetail ArchiveManager (DIET) or Clarify dataex can be used to import this file.

To import this file using DIET:

diet.exe –user_name <username> -password <password> –db_server <serverName> -db_name <databaseName> -imp search_config.dat

To import this file using dataex:

dataex.exe –user_name <username> -password <password> –db_server <serverName> -db_name <databaseName> -imp search_config.dat
