Install Find

Find is available in a zip package.

The Find zip package contains an executable Java .war file. Unlike traditional Java web applications, Find does not require a stand-alone application server (for example, Tomcat), because one is embedded within the .war file.

NOTE: To upgrade to Find 25.3 from an earlier version, you must delete your existing configuration file before you install the new version. OpenText also recommends that you back up your database for saved searches before you upgrade.

For more information, see Upgrade Find.

Use the Executable .war File to Run Find

Use the following command to run Find:

java -Didol.find.home=[home directory] -Dserver.port=[port] -jar find.war -uriEncoding utf-8

NOTE: On Linux, OpenText recommends that you use /opt/find as the install directory and /opt/find/home as the home directory. On Windows, the home directory might be C:\OpenText\Find. In either case, ensure that the user running Find has read and write permissions for the home directory.

You can also install Find as a service. See Install Find as a Service on Linux or Install Find as a Service on Windows.
