Configuring Solr

The way that you configure SkyVault to use Solr depends on how you have installed SkyVault.

If you install SkyVault using the setup wizard, Solr is installed and enabled automatically. Solr is installed in the same Tomcat container as SkyVault, and the connection URL is unchanged from the default. The Solr home is in the SkyVault data directory, which also contains the Solr data files.

If you have an existing SkyVault installation, and you wish to configure it to use Solr search, you need to apply the Solr archive to your web application.
