Configuring Sun Master Indexes

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 update.xml.

    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.

  4. Save and close the file.

  5. To define or modify exclusion lists of values to be excluded from the SBR, see Filtering Default Values From Master Index Processes
