Configuring Sun Master Indexes (Repository)

ProcedureTo Specify a Candidate Field

  1. In the Projects window, expand the Configuration node in the project you want to modify, and then double-click the Best Record file.

    The file opens in the NetBeans XML editor.

  2. Scroll to the candidate-definitions element in the SurvivorHelperConfig element.

  3. Do any of the following:

    • To add a new field, add a new candidate-field element within the candidate-definitions tags, and then name the new element using the ePath of the field.

      For example:


         <candidate-definitions>
            <candidate-field name="Person.LastName"/>
            <candidate-field name="Person.DateOfBirth"/>
         <candidate-definitions>
    • To modify an existing field, scroll to the candidate-field element you want to modify, and then change the value of the attribute.

    • If any of the updated fields do not use the default strategy, define a strategy for those fields, as described in Defining a Master Index Survivor Strategy for a Field or Object (Repository).

  4. Save and close the file.
