Set up an Additional Synonym IDOL Server

Use the following procedure to set up an additional Synonym IDOL Server.

Install the Synonym IDOL Server

Follow the IDOL Server installation instructions to install the IDOL Server component. If you are installing the Synonym IDOL Server on the same machine as your existing IDOL Server, ensure that the servers use different ports. Refer to the IDOL Getting Started Guide for details of how to install IDOL Server.

Create and Index a Synonym File

You can obtain the synonym file to store in your Synonym IDOL Server by spidering a Thesaurus site (using HTTP Connector), or by creating the file manually. A synonym file must be a text file that contains the fields described in the following table.

Field Description
#DREREFERENCE Enter a unique reference string for the synonym document. Usually this reference is a file name, URL, or unique code number.
#DRECONTENT Enter a list of associated single words, separated by carriage returns or spaces (you cannot list phrases).
#DREENDDOC A delimiter that indicates the end of the document.

For example:

#DREREFERRENCE Syn1.txt
#DRECONTENT cat feline grimalkin moggy mouser tabby siamese kitten
#DREENDDOC
#DREREFERRENCE Syn2.txt
#DRECONTENT dog cur hound mongrel mutt pooch puppy
#DREENDDOC
...

If you use HTTP Connector to create the synonym file, you can use the connector to index the file. If you create the file manually, you can index it by using a DREADD index action.
