Configuring and Managing the Oracle BI Presentation Catalog 17-39

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.
