Selecting an Alternate Web Server to Handle Search Operations

You can associate a different Web Server to a client or client group in order to offload memory and processing resources from the main Web Server. Also, if you have a Web Server computer with better performance compared to the original, you can associate it to all the clients in the CommCell. After this configuration, search operations of content indexed data will be processed by the selected Web Server.

Note

If content indexing is not enabled on the clients, the new Web Server association has no effect.
