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 TIBCO MDM.
