What You Need to Know

Status of the indexing job

Display options: Scheduled/Not Scheduled

 Schedule Index Job

The Start Time dialog box appears. Specify that you want the indexing program to run as a regular job. This ensures that the index queue is processed regularly. All the words contained in the documents are included in the index. It handles documents in all languages. For each language, an individual index is built.

We recommend that you schedule the job to run daily (for example, along with loading jobs for BW).

 Indexing Job Overview

The Simple Job Selection screen appears. The job name field contains the name of the indexing job.

You can also restrict the jobs to be displayed in the overview with respect to Job Status, Job Start Condition, and Job Step. To display a scheduled job, you must select the Planned option under Job Status. Help is available under  Information.

Choose   Execute. The Job Overview screen appears. For more information, see Managing Jobs with the Job Overview.

Field

What You Need to Know

 Re-Index All Documents

The Re-Index a Class or a Document Area screen appears.

You can re-index all of the documents in a document class, and not just the documents that are in the index queue. The result of the re-indexing process is similar to that of a reinitialization process. All documents are placed in the queue.

This is necessary, for example, if you have edited documents without having the index switched on.

We recommend that you re-index after the BW system has been upgraded to BW Release 3.0, because until this point the search function has not been available for documents for metadata.

 Monitoring the Indexed Documents

The KPRO IMS: Monitoring screen appears.

Monitoring Tab Page:

Use input help to select a document class.

Choose the  Refresh function.

The system uses the traffic light colors ( and ) to show you whether or not the following settings are available in each of the document areas:

●      Index possible

The system displays the Attributes That Can Be Indexed, the Valid Index- Category Attributes, and the Index Category in tables of the same name.
