Specify Index Entities

While specifying index entities, consider the following points:

  • Specify system attributes
  • Incase you have date column, specify the date type attributes. For example, if you have DOB column, the DOB column is internally assigned date type attributes. For more information on searching on date-type attribute, refer the TIBCO Patterns Concepts Guide.
  • In case of join entity, specify repository configuration according to the relationship hierarchy. For example, if you have Person as a parent repository and Address as a child repository, then specify entity in the following order: Person repository, PersonToAddress relationship, and then Address repository.
  • If you specify an incorrect repository name in one entity, the entire entity is ignored while indexing. Verify error message logged in $SMQ_LOG/elink.log.
  • In one join entity, more than one relationship at the same level cannot be indexed. Index either PersonToBank or PersonToAddress relationship.
    Note: After updating the IndexerConfig.xml file, run the textIndexMigration.sh or textIndexMigration.bat utility using -cf option. The utility re-indexes all entities.
