17.11.4.7 Step 7: Enabling Incremental Crawls for Full-Text Catalog Search

For incremental crawls to occur, you must first do the following:

1. Enable the replication of the Oracle BI Presentation Catalog.

2. Perform a full crawl on the catalog.

To enable replication, set the Replication element to true in the instanceconfig.xml file. The following procedure provides information about configuring to enable replication. Before you begin this procedure, ensure that you are familiar with the information in Section 3.4, Using a Text Editor to Update Configuration Settings. To manually edit the setting for replication: 1. Open the instanceconfig.xml file for editing, as described in Section 3.6, Where Are Configuration Files Located?

2. Locate the section in which you must add the Replication element.

The Replication element is set to false by default. If you do not set it to true, then only full crawls of the catalog occur, no matter how minor the changes to the catalog since the last full crawl.

3. Include the element and its ancestor elements as appropriate, as shown in the

following example: ps:Catalog ps:Replication ps:Enabledtrueps:Enabled ps:Replication ps:Catalog

4. Save your changes and close the file.

5. Restart Oracle Business Intelligence.

After you have enabled replication, use a URL in the following format to start an incremental crawl. Include false at the end of the URL to perform an incremental crawl, and include true at the end to perform a full crawl. http:host:portbisearchcrawleroracle.biee.search.BISearchableTreeObjectConfigF eed?forceInitialCrawl=false

17.11.4.8 Step 8: Configuring Properties for Full-Text Catalog Search Manually

You can configure properties for the full-text catalog search by manually editing the BISearchConfig.properties file. Because the properties for the full-text catalog search include specifications for the URLs of Web Services that are used in the full-text catalog search, you can set these properties, if URLs change. Table 17–3 describes the configuration properties for the full-text catalog search, which reside in the BISearchConfig.properties file. The BISearchConfig.properties file is installed into the ORACLE_HOME\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_ domainconfigfmwconfigbiinstancescoreapplication directory on the WebLogic Server for Oracle BI EE.

17.11.4.9 Step 9: Allowing Users to Access the Full-Text Catalog Search

When you have configured Secure Enterprise Manager to crawl and index the Oracle BI Presentation Catalog, you can notify content designers and users that the Search page is available for performing the full-text catalog search.

17.11.4.9.1 Providing Designers with the URL You can provide designers with the URL to

display the page for the full-text catalog search. Designers can bookmark this page and use it with actions or as a shortcut on a dashboard page. The person who installs Secure Enterprise Search sees a page that provides the URL in the following form: http:host:portsearchquerysearch where host is the computer on which Secure Enterprise Search is installed and port is the port for the administration tool. The default port is 7777.

17.11.4.9.2 Making the Shortcut Available from the Oracle BI EE Home Page You can

configure the Oracle BI EE Home page to include a shortcut in the All Content area that allows users to display the page for the full-text catalog search. To do so, edit the instanceconfig.xml file to include the SESSearchURL element, as described in the following procedure. Before you begin this procedure, ensure that you are familiar with the information in Section 3.4, Using a Text Editor to Update Configuration Settings. To manually add the shortcut for the full-text catalog search to the Home page: 1. Open the instanceconfig.xml file for editing, as described in Section 3.4, Using a Text Editor to Update Configuration Settings. 2. Locate the section in which you must add the SESSearchURL element. The value for the SESSearchURL element is the URL for the Secure Enterprise Manager page. Table 17–3 Configuration Properties for the Full-Text Catalog Search Name Description Default Value BIServerURL Specifies the URL for the Oracle BI Server. NA BISearchServerURL Specifies the URL for the servlet for the full-text catalog search. NA BIServerSSOURL Specifies the SSO URL for the Oracle HTTP Server instance that is configured to handle URL requests for Oracle BI EE. NA CrawlingUserKey Specifies the key for the credentials that are used to crawl the catalog. You should not edit this value. NA ExcludePaths Specifies the list of directories from the catalog that should not be crawled. Delimit directories with a semicolon ;. system;sha red IncludePaths Specifies the list of directories from the catalog that should be crawled. Delimit directories with a semicolon ;. RootNode Specifies the node from which all crawling originates.
