How the Limit Search Setting Works

DXmanager lets you limit the kinds of requests that a DSA can respond to.

Because the configuration is shared, any DSA that needs to route a query to another DSA can first check whether that query would be rejected.

The following diagram shows how the configuration for a Limit Search DSA works:

  1. The router DSA receives a complex search request from a client application. The router DSA cannot fulfill the search request, but it knows that the Customer's DSA can.
  2. The router DSA checks the configuration for the Customer's DSA to see whether there are any conditions for searching the Customer's DSA.
    The Limit Search item indicates that the Customer's DSA rejects any complex searches.
  3. The router DSA returns a Search Refused response to the client.
