IndexEntityList
You can define two types of index entities: Single or Join.
- Single: Specify only one repository in a single entity and include its attributes.
- Join: Specify cross-repository relationship in a join entity including the relationship attributes. For example, for Person and Address cross-repositories, specify PersonToAddress as the join entity name.
You can search for both the entities on the Text Search UI.
To recognize the difference between a single and the join index entities, verify the value of the joinTable attribute. For example
- For a single entity: The value of the joinTable attribute is false.
- For join entity: The value of the joinTable attribute is true.Note: Before you define index entities, ensure that the metadata that you specify in the IndexEntity list must exist in ibi MDM.
