This section provides an overview of the different ways Information Portal uses universal IDs.
Important: When you set up your broadcast libraries, compare the universal IDs in the searching library with those in the library being searched. If the IDs do not match, you need to add secondary universal IDs to the libraries being searched so that they match the universal IDs for the searching library.
• | Redirected index search. The universal ID is used for a redirected search on an index. This allows the search result displays to be library independent. |
• | ZServer attributes search. The ZServer uses the universal ID to match search attributes to the index, simplifying the setup of ZServer. |
Information Portal provides defaults for universal IDs that come from your Horizon setup. This table summarizes the different types of indexes, the default universal IDs that Information Portal assigns them during installation, and the use of each index:
