<refsect1><title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para>Zebra is a high-performance, general-purpose structured text indexing
and retrieval engine. It reads structured records in a variety of input
formats (e.g. email, <acronym>XML</acronym>, <acronym>MARC</acronym>) and allows access to them through exact
boolean search expressions and relevance-ranked free-text queries.
</para>
<para>
<command moreinfo="none">zebrasrv</command> is the <acronym>Z39.50</acronym> and <acronym>SRU</acronym> frontend
server for the <command moreinfo="none">Zebra</command> search engine and indexer.
</para>
<para>
On Unix you can run the <command moreinfo="none">zebrasrv</command>
server from the command line - and put it
in the background. It may also operate under the inet daemon.
On WIN32 you can run the server as a console application or
as a WIN32 Service.

Don't fork or make threads on connection requests. This is good for

a software malfunction (okay then, a crash) from affecting all
current users. The server can only accept a single
connection in this mode.
</para></listitem></varlistentry>
<!-- The text for -S option is (in my opinion) the wrong way around. The main
argument for not using -S is that it can handle only one connection at a
time, whereas the forking and threading interfaces can handle multiple
connections. Also, the forking (but not threading) model can survive a
crash at a single server instance. Heikki -->

<para>
A <replaceable>listener-address</replaceable> consists of an optional
transport mode followed by a colon (:) followed by a listener address.
The transport mode is either a file system socket
<literal moreinfo="none">unix</literal>,
a SSL TCP/IP socket <literal moreinfo="none">ssl</literal>, or a plain TCP/IP socket
<literal moreinfo="none">tcp</literal> (default).
</para>
<para>
For TCP, an address has the form
<screen format="linespecific">
hostname | IP-number [: portnumber]
</screen>
The port number defaults to 210 (standard <acronym>Z39.50</acronym> port) for
privileged users (root), and 9999 for normal users.
The special hostname "@" is mapped to
the address INADDR_ANY, which causes the server to listen on any local
interface. </para>
<para>
The default behavior for <literal moreinfo="none">zebrasrv</literal> - if started
as non-privileged user - is to establish
a single TCP/IP listener, for the <acronym>Z39.50</acronym> protocol, on port 9999.
<screen format="linespecific">
zebrasrv @
zebrasrv tcp:some.server.name.org:1234
zebrasrv ssl:@:3000
</screen>
</para>
<para>
To start the server listening on the registered port for
<acronym>Z39.50</acronym>, or on a filesystem socket,
and to drop root privileges once the ports are bound, execute
the server like this from a root shell:
<screen format="linespecific">
zebrasrv -u daemon @
zebrasrv -u daemon tcp:@:210
zebrasrv -u daemon unix:/some/file/system/socket
</screen>
Here <literal moreinfo="none">daemon</literal> is an existing user account, and the
unix socket <literal moreinfo="none">/some/file/system/socket</literal> is readable
and writable for the <literal moreinfo="none">daemon</literal> account.
</para>
<!--
The line before the examples "zebrasrv -u daemon @" would sound better
if it said something like "execute the server from a root shell with a
command like one of these:" - so that our users won't cut and paste all
three lines...

<para>
<acronym>Z39.50</acronym> specifies three different types of sort criteria.
Of these Zebra supports the attribute specification type in which
case the use attribute specifies the "Sort register".
Sort registers are created for those fields that are of type "sort" in
the default.idx file.
The corresponding character mapping file in default.idx specifies the
ordinal of each character used in the actual sort.
</para>
<para>
<acronym>Z39.50</acronym> allows the client to specify sorting on one or more input

If a Close PDU is received, the server will respond with a Close PDU

during initialization. If the protocol version is 3 or more, the
server will generate a Close PDU under certain circumstances,
including a session timeout (60 minutes by default), and certain kinds of
protocol errors. Once a Close PDU has been sent, the protocol
association is considered broken, and the transport connection will be
closed immediately upon receipt of further data, or following a short

<title>The <acronym>SRU</acronym> Server</title>
<para>
In addition to <acronym>Z39.50</acronym>, Zebra supports the more recent and
web-friendly IR protocol <ulink url="https://www.loc.gov/standards/sru/"><acronym>SRU</acronym></ulink>.
<acronym>SRU</acronym> can be carried over <acronym>SOAP</acronym> or a <acronym>REST</acronym>-like protocol
that uses HTTP <acronym>GET</acronym> or <acronym>POST</acronym> to request search responses. The request
itself is made of parameters such as
<literal moreinfo="none">query</literal>,
<literal moreinfo="none">startRecord</literal>,
<literal moreinfo="none">maximumRecords</literal>
and
<literal moreinfo="none">recordSchema</literal>;
the response is an <acronym>XML</acronym> document containing hit-count, result-set
records, diagnostics, etc. <acronym>SRU</acronym> can be thought of as a re-casting
of <acronym>Z39.50</acronym> semantics in web-friendly terms; or as a standardisation
of the ad-hoc query parameters used by search engines such as Google
and AltaVista; or as a superset of A9's OpenSearch (which it
predates).
</para>
<para>
Zebra supports <acronym>Z39.50</acronym>, <acronym>SRU</acronym> <acronym>GET</acronym>, SRU <acronym>POST</acronym>, SRU <acronym>SOAP</acronym> (<acronym>SRW</acronym>)
- on the same port, recognising what protocol is used by each incoming

<refsect2 id="zebrasrv-sru-run">
<title>Running zebrasrv as an <acronym>SRU</acronym> Server</title>
<para>
Because Zebra supports all protocols on one port, it would
seem to follow that the <acronym>SRU</acronym> server is run in the same way as
the <acronym>Z39.50</acronym> server, as described above. This is true, but only in
an uninterestingly vacuous way: a Zebra server run in this manner
will indeed recognise and accept <acronym>SRU</acronym> requests; but since it
doesn't know how to handle the <acronym>CQL</acronym> queries that these protocols
use, all it can do is send failure responses.
</para>
<note>
<para>
It is possible to cheat, by having <acronym>SRU</acronym> search Zebra with
a <acronym>PQF</acronym> query instead of <acronym>CQL</acronym>, using the
<literal moreinfo="none">x-pquery</literal>
parameter instead of
<literal moreinfo="none">query</literal>.
This is a
<emphasis role="strong">non-standard extension</emphasis>
of <acronym>CQL</acronym>, and a
<emphasis role="strong">very naughty</emphasis>
thing to do, but it does give you a way to see Zebra serving <acronym>SRU</acronym>
``right out of the box''. If you start your favourite Zebra
server in the usual way, on port 9999, then you can send your web
browser to:
</para>
<screen format="linespecific">
http://localhost:9999/Default?version=1.1
&operation=searchRetrieve
&x-pquery=mineral
&startRecord=1
&maximumRecords=1
</screen>
<para>
This will display the <acronym>XML</acronym>-formatted <acronym>SRU</acronym> response that includes the
first record in the result-set found by the query
<literal moreinfo="none">mineral</literal>. (For clarity, the <acronym>SRU</acronym> URL is shown
here broken across lines, but the lines should be joined together
to make single-line URL for the browser to submit.)
</para>
</note>
<para>
In order to turn on Zebra's support for <acronym>CQL</acronym> queries, it's necessary
to have the <application moreinfo="none">YAZ</application> generic front-end (which Zebra uses) translate them
into the <acronym>Z39.50</acronym> Type-1 query format that is used internally. And
to do this, the generic front-end's own configuration file must be
used. See <xref linkend="gfs-config"/>;
the salient point for <acronym>SRU</acronym> support is that
<command moreinfo="none">zebrasrv</command>
must be started with the
<literal moreinfo="none">-f frontendConfigFile</literal>
option rather than the
<literal moreinfo="none">-c zebraConfigFile</literal>
option,
and that the front-end configuration file must include both a
reference to the Zebra configuration file and the <acronym>CQL</acronym>-to-<acronym>PQF</acronym>
translator configuration file.
</para>
<para>
A minimal front-end configuration file that does this would read as
follows:
</para>
<screen format="linespecific">
<yazgfs>
<server>
<config>zebra.cfg</config>
<cql2rpn>../../tab/pqf.properties</cql2rpn>
</server>
</yazgfs>
</screen>
<para>
The
<literal moreinfo="none"><config></literal>
element contains the name of the Zebra configuration file that was
previously specified by the
<literal moreinfo="none">-c</literal>
command-line argument, and the
<literal moreinfo="none"><cql2rpn></literal>
element contains the name of the <acronym>CQL</acronym> properties file specifying how
various <acronym>CQL</acronym> indexes, relations, etc. are translated into Type-1
queries.
</para>

<title><acronym>SRU</acronym> Protocol Support and Behavior</title>
<para>
Zebra running as an <acronym>SRU</acronym> server supports SRU version 1.1, including
<acronym>CQL</acronym> version 1.1. In particular, it provides support for the
following elements of the protocol.
</para>
<refsect2 id="zebrasrvr-search-and-retrieval">
<title><acronym>SRU</acronym> Search and Retrieval</title>
<para>
Zebra supports the searchRetrieve operation.
</para>
<para>
One of the great strengths of <acronym>SRU</acronym> is that it mandates a standard
query language, <acronym>CQL</acronym>, and that all conforming implementations can
therefore be trusted to correctly interpret the same queries. It
is with some shame, then, that we admit that Zebra also supports
an additional query language, our own Prefix Query Format
(<ulink url="http://www.indexdata.com/yaz/doc/tools.html#PQF"><acronym>PQF</acronym></ulink>).
A <acronym>PQF</acronym> query is submitted by using the extension parameter
<literal moreinfo="none">x-pquery</literal>,
in which case the
<literal moreinfo="none">query</literal>
parameter must be omitted, which makes the request not valid <acronym>SRU</acronym>.
Please feel free to use this facility within your own
applications; but be aware that it is not only non-standard <acronym>SRU</acronym>
but not even syntactically valid, since it omits the mandatory
<literal moreinfo="none">query</literal> parameter.
</para>
</refsect2>
<refsect2 id="zebrasrv-sru-scan">
<title><acronym>SRU</acronym> Scan</title>
<para>
Zebra supports scan operation.
Scanning using <acronym>CQL</acronym> syntax is the default, where the
standard <literal moreinfo="none">scanClause</literal> parameter is used.
</para>
<para>
In addition, a
mutant form of <acronym>SRU</acronym> scan is supported, using
the non-standard <literal moreinfo="none">x-pScanClause</literal> parameter in
place of the standard <literal moreinfo="none">scanClause</literal> to scan on a
<acronym>PQF</acronym> query clause.
</para>

<refsect2 id="zebrasrv-sru-explain">
<title><acronym>SRU</acronym> Explain</title>
<para>
Zebra supports explain.
</para>
<para>
The ZeeRex record explaining a database may be requested either
with a fully fledged <acronym>SRU</acronym> request (with
<literal moreinfo="none">operation</literal>=<literal moreinfo="none">explain</literal>
and version-number specified)
or with a simple HTTP <acronym>GET</acronym> at the server's basename.
The ZeeRex record returned in response is the one embedded
in the <application moreinfo="none">YAZ</application> Frontend Server configuration file that is described in the
<xref linkend="gfs-config"/>.
</para>
<para>
Unfortunately, the data found in the
<acronym>CQL</acronym>-to-<acronym>PQF</acronym> text file must be added by hand-craft into the explain
section of the <application moreinfo="none">YAZ</application> Frontend Server configuration file to be able
to provide a suitable explain record.
Too bad, but this is all extreme
new alpha stuff, and a lot of work has yet to be done ..
</para>
<para>
There is no linkage whatsoever between the <acronym>Z39.50</acronym> explain model
and the <acronym>SRU</acronym> explain response (well, at least not implemented
in Zebra, that is ..). Zebra does not provide a means using
<acronym>Z39.50</acronym> to obtain the ZeeRex record.

<title>Other <acronym>SRU</acronym> operations</title>
<para>
In the <acronym>Z39.50</acronym> protocol, Initialization, Present, Sort and Close
are separate operations. In <acronym>SRU</acronym>, however, these operations do not
exist.
</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
<acronym>SRU</acronym> has no explicit initialization handshake phase, but
commences immediately with searching, scanning and explain

</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Neither does <acronym>SRU</acronym> have a close operation, since the protocol is
stateless and each request is self-contained. (It is true that
multiple <acronym>SRU</acronym> request/response pairs may be implemented as
multiple HTTP request/response pairs over a single persistent
TCP/IP connection; but the closure of that connection is not a
protocol-level operation.)
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Retrieval in <acronym>SRU</acronym> is part of the
<literal moreinfo="none">searchRetrieve</literal> operation, in which a search
is submitted and the response includes a subset of the records
in the result set. There is no direct analogue of <acronym>Z39.50</acronym>'s
Present operation which requests records from an established
result set. In <acronym>SRU</acronym>, this is achieved by sending a subsequent
<literal moreinfo="none">searchRetrieve</literal> request with the query
<literal moreinfo="none">cql.resultSetId=</literal><emphasis>id</emphasis> where
<emphasis>id</emphasis> is the identifier of the previously
generated result-set.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Sorting in <acronym>CQL</acronym> is done within the
<literal moreinfo="none">searchRetrieve</literal> operation - in v1.1, by an
explicit <literal moreinfo="none">sort</literal> parameter, but the forthcoming
v1.2 or v2.0 will most likely use an extension of the query
language, <ulink url="http://zing.z3950.org/cql/sorting.html"><acronym>CQL</acronym> sorting</ulink>.
</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>
It can be seen, then, that while Zebra operating as an <acronym>SRU</acronym> server
does not provide the same set of operations as when operating as a
<acronym>Z39.50</acronym> server, it does provide equivalent functionality.

Description of the virtual host mechanism in &yaz; GFS

<para>
The Virtual hosts mechanism allows a <application moreinfo="none">YAZ</application> frontend server to
support multiple backends. A backend is selected on the basis of
the TCP/IP binding (port+listening address) and/or the virtual host.
</para>
<para>
A backend can be configured to execute in a particular working
directory. Or the <application moreinfo="none">YAZ</application> frontend may perform <ulink url="http://www.loc.gov/standards/sru/cql/"><acronym>CQL</acronym></ulink> to <acronym>RPN</acronym> conversion, thus
allowing traditional <acronym>Z39.50</acronym> backends to be offered as a
<ulink url="https://www.loc.gov/standards/sru/"><acronym>SRU</acronym></ulink> service.
<acronym>SRU</acronym> Explain information for a particular backend may also be specified.
</para>
<para>
For the HTTP protocol, the virtual host is specified in the Host header.
For the <acronym>Z39.50</acronym> protocol, the virtual host is specified as in the
