You can set up the Full-Text Retrieval (FTR) Main Server on the same computer as the SmartPlant Foundation server or on a separate computer.
If you have SmartPlant Foundation vaults on separate computers from the FTR Main Server, FTR service is also installed on these remote computers so that files can be indexed locally. The FTR Main Server should know the location of these FTR servers on vaults for indexing and searching for collections.
Perform the following steps to set up the FTR Main Server.
