Query Manipulation Server Components
An IDOL installation for query manipulation includes the following components:
-
Query Manipulation Server. QMS manages the queries that you send to IDOL Server. It forwards queries to the IDOL Server data index, and retrieves QMS rules from the Promotion Agentstore. It then modifies the query or the results according to the rules.
-
Data Index. QMS queries the IDOL data index to retrieve documents that match the original query. Depending on rules that you set up, QMS also retrieves promotion documents from the data index.
The data index might be an IDOL Content component, or a component that forwards commands to one or more IDOL Content component, such as the Distributed Action Handler (DAH).
-
Promotion Agentstore. The Promotion Agentstore component stores the QMS rules that you set up. QMS queries the Promotion Agentstore to return rules that apply to a query.
The Agentstore component is a specially configured instance of the IDOL Content component.
