Specify Data Stores Used for Data Loading (legacy search engine)

The flag federated_search_enabled is used to enable or disable the use of federation regarding several operations in the UCMDB Browser module. If this flag is set to False (this is the default value), the legacy search engine, and the widgets use only the local data store for gathering data. If this flag is set to True, all data stores are used when running a search in the legacy search engine and the widgets.

This flag is set on the UCMDB server.

Set the federated_search_enabled flag

In UCMDB, go to Administration > Infrastructure Settings Manager, and choose UCMDB Browser settings.
In the Name column, choose Show federated search results.
In the Value column, choose True or False from the drop-down list.
Click Save .

Limitations on Using Federated Data

The use of federated data has the following limitations:

The Environment widget cannot load data from a completely remote CI (that is, a CI that exists only in a remote data store and does not exist in the local data store).
For completely remote CIs, the Properties widget does not display properties calculated from related CIs.
