Hi,

I have created two desktops Desktop1 and Desktop2 in a content navigator instance. I have two document classes Doc1 and Doc2. Created search templates S1(for Doc1) and S2(for Doc2). I would like to use S1 in Desktop1 and S2 in Desktop2.

Requirement: I need some customizations in S1 and S2. Customizations like field label change, mandatory field enable/disable.

What I did so far: I created EDS for S1(that means doc class Doc1) and deployed the web application. The URL is configured in the plugin External Data Services Support(edsPlugin.jar).

Problem: Now I need to do the customizations for S2(that means doc class Doc2). I would like to create another EDS like above and configure. I can't use the same plugin External Data Services Support(edsPlugin.jar) to input another EDS URL.

May I know is there a way to configure two EDS'S in a single navigator instance? If yes, how do we specify each EDS URL?

Note: I do not want to have single EDS and have the logic for both search templates in the same. Because these two templates are exposed to two different business desktops with independent security. One business should not have impact If I need to change the behavior of other search template.

Hi,

You may have a single EDS for multiple classes. Refer to https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEUEX_3.0.8/com.ibm.developingeuc.doc/eucap017.html to create different JSON files for each of the document classes. Name the JSON per the class identifier.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I do not want to have the logic for multiple classes in single EDS. Because one class is allocated to one desktop(means one business). If I need to enhance or change the logic inside EDS, the other business should not get effected. Hope I am clear.

Daer Ravi, if you are using 2 classes, and 2 desktop,

probably you will not be effected on desktop 2 if doc 1 Class is changed, because it is hidden in your logic.

you can also extend the eds to support Desktop and class behavior as you need.

all depend who your going to extend the code + add configuration for class and desktop manage.

Hi Ariks,

Thanks for the reply. I completely understood your point. But my concern is, Desktop1 is in PROD. I have implemented EDS and deployed. This is under the java package EDS_Desktop1. Now I do not want to touch this code. Because I need to test the Desktop1 again(may not be completely). Also would like to have two java packages for two different Businesses. Hence,

May I know is there a way to configure two EDS'S in a single navigator instance? If yes, how do we specify each EDS URL?

As much as i know and base on the old forum history answers,only 1 eds is allowed.

ok thanks
