Configuring the Search for Portal Pages and
iViews
Use
To be able to search for portal pages and iViews, you must perform several configuration steps in your role as an administrator:
...
● You add a new entry to the index management service.
● You create a new index and assign the PCD repository to it. This is not displayed by default in the root directory, therefore you have to make it visible first and then hide it again.
Configuring the Index Management Service
...
1. Launch the configuration of the index management service. In the portal, choose System Administration ® System Configuration ® Knowledge Management ® Content Management ® Global Services ® (Show Advanced Options) ® Index Management Service.
2. Choose Edit and in the Index Services parameter, select the portalRolesSearch entry.
3. Choose OK to save your entries.
Making the PCD Repository Visible in the Root Directory
...
1. Launch the configuration of the PCD repository manager. In the portal, choose System Administration ® System Configuration ® Knowledge Management ® Content Management ® Repository Managers ® (Show Advanced Options) ® PCD Repository.
2. Choose Edit and deactivate the Hide in Root Folder parameter.
3. Choose OK to save your entries.
Creating an Index
...
1. Launch index management. In the portal, choose System Administration ® System Configuration ® Knowledge Management ® Content Management ® Index Administration.
2. Create a new index with the following parameters:
ID = portalRolesSearch
Name = Portal Pages and iViews
Group = Optional entry
Crawler Parameter = No entry
Service = Portal Roles Search
What to Index = Documents
Do not choose the services TREX Search or TREX Search and Classification for indexing. Otherwise, the search results would also contain iViews and portal pages that are not part of the role of the logged-on user. This would lead to errors in the navigation.
In index administration and in the indexing monitor, the index created appears with the status red. In addition, there are no statistical values for this index. This is not an error because the index created is not managed by TREX.
3. You then choose the /pcd repository from the Data Sources and save the index. A schedule for automatic indexing is not required.
Hiding the PCD Repository in the Root Directory
...
1. Launch the configuration of the PCD repository manager again. In the portal, choose System Administration ® System Configuration ® Knowledge Management ® Content Management ® Repository Managers ® (Show Advanced Options) ® PCD Repository.
2. Choose Edit and activate the Hide in Root Folder parameter.
3. Choose OK to save your entries.
