15.1.1 Federated Search Query Builder
To access the Federated Search Query Builder click Search then Global Search in the Top menu. The following options are available:
■
Central Catalog Search is used for external content already registered with Oracle
URM. This is a search of local metadata and is usually a faster search than Remote Repository items.
Note that it is up to the adapter configuration to make adapter content visible to the Oracle URM server. If the adapter has not made its content available, Oracle
URM will not find that content in a search.
■
Remote Repositories Search is used to find items stored on external content
systems whether they have been cataloged on the Oracle URM server or not. This is a search of all possible content using adapters to schedule the search. The
adapters use the criteria entered for a Remote Repository Search as the criteria used for the search on that remote repository. Searching for content in Remote
Repository is not in real time and is dependent on adapters to complete the search. This option provides the most accurate and up-to-date results but it may take a
long time to complete.
■
SES Search is similar to a Remote Repository Search but the search is not
scheduled and run by an adapter. Instead, a connection is made to an SES server, which has done a scheduled crawl of content on the adapters. Oracle URM
connects directly to the SES server, which has been configured ahead of time. If this option is selected and no servers have been configured, an error message is
displayed.
The Federated Query Builder Page
enables users to build and schedule queries across
all repositories. Select the repositories to include in the search from the External Sources
list. Multiple sources can be included in the search. This query builder form is similar to other query builder forms used in Oracle URM
and Oracle UCM. Select a field to use as sorting criteria and click Search when done. When performing a remote repository search, a search name must be entered. Users
can only search using fields that are mapped to all of the selected external sources. Errors occur if a search is done against a source using a field that is not mapped.
After pressing Save enter a title for the action. The search is scheduled and the Federated Searches Page appears. The list of scheduled searches includes the number
of external sources requested in the search, and number of external sources that have completed the search request.
The search is scheduled and waits for the external search adapters to return results.
Note: Federated Search adds functionality to the Search Query
Builder Form. See the Oracle Fusion Middleware Users Guide for Content Server for additional help using the Search Query Builder.
