On the Indexing Documents tab page, there are various functions that you use in document management to enable you to check and change the status of the index and the index job.
Note that these functions are obsolete. We recommend that you use metadata search/indexing. See: BI Metadata Search and Tab Page: Indexing Metadata.
You have to fill the following prerequisites before you can search in the documents belonging to BI objects:
...
1. Indexing must be switched on.
2. The program for indexing (RSTIRIDX) must run as a regular job.
If a document has been placed in the index queue and has been processed by this queue, it is included in the search.
The Indexing Documents tab page contains the following fields and functions:
Status display
Field |
What You Need to Know |
Status of search engine |
Display options: OK/Not Completely Installed/Simulation (Test) |
Indexing status |
Selection options: On/Off If the index is ‘off’, change the setting in the Index Status dropdown box to ‘on’. This ensures that new, deleted, and modified documents are included in the index queue. |
Help |
Displays a help text for the Indexing Documents tab page (in the performance assistant). |
Index jobs
Field |
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, at the same time as loading jobs in BI). |
Indexing Job Overview |
The Simple Job Selection screen appears. The job name field contains the name of the indexing job.
You can select the jobs that need to be displayed in the overview, as well as restrict the Job Status, Job Start Condition, and Job Step. To display a scheduled job, you have to choose the Planned option under Job Status. Under Information, help is available. Choose Execute. The Job Overview screen appears. For more information, see Managing Jobs with the Job Overview. |
Additional functions
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, 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 upgrading the BI system to release 3.0, because before this release, the search function was not 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 · Auto-index · DocArea activated The system displays the Attributes That Can Be Indexed, the Valid Index- Category Attributes, and the Index Category in tables of the same name. Tools Tab Page: You need specialist knowledge to use this function. Index/De-Index: You use the Trigger Process function to either start the index queue immediately or schedule it to run in the background. You get a report on the De/Indexing of Documents That Have Been Checked in. Under the header Single Actions, you are able to select individual documents that you want to either add or remove from the index. Under the header Mass Actions, you are able to re-index a whole class or a whole document area (restricted to the selected language). Under the header Extras, you are able to · Use the Test Search function to find documents · Use the Problem Cases function to display documents with which there are problems · Use the Indexed Documents function to find out which documents have been indexed already · Use the Scheduled Documents function to find out which documents are still in the index queue.
