    Deploy a Search App in Fusion's Webapps Service (4.0)

    You can use App Studio to deploy a search app in Fusion Server. You develop your search interface, and then publish the search app to Fusion’s Webapps service.

    Simplified instructions can be found in Deploy App Studio.
    This deployment type leverages your existing production environment, requiring no dedicated nodes for App Studio. However, you might need to deploy additional Fusion nodes if you anticipate significant traffic to your search interface.

    Running a dedicated node for a search interface

    When deploying Fusion nodes dedicated to serving one or more search interfaces, only the following Fusion services need to run:

    • agent

    • api

    • log-shipper

    • webapps

    When starting a dedicated node, you can minimize the number of running services by starting it like this.

    Unix and MacOS:

    cd fusion/latest.x/bin
./agent start
./api start
./webapps start

    Windows:

    cd fusion\latest.x\bin
agent.cmd start
api.cms start
log-shipper.cmd start
webapps.cmd start
