Performing a Manual Re-Index of Profiles

It is possible to manually re-index profiles. By default, you can re-index using a date range or an ID.

The /atg/userprofiling/search/ProfileOutputConfig contains the manualIndexRequests property that includes:

manualIndexRequests=\
  /atg/userprofiling/search/ProfilesManualIndexRequestById,\
  /atg/userprofiling/search/
     ProfileManualIndexRequestByLastModifiedDateRange

Each of the ManualIndexRequests defines an RQL query that sets the criteria for the indexing request.

To manually re-index:

  1. Using the Dynamo Server Admin, access the ProfileOUtputConfig component to re-index profiles.

  2. Select Manually Re-Index a Subset of Orders or Profiles.

  3. Enter the parameters for performing a re-index.

    Note: The date range must be entered in the yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss format and must include the time. For example, for February 28th, in the year 2011 at 7:30 p.m., you would enter 2011-02-28 19:30:00.

  4. Press submit to begin the re-indexing process.

  5. The screen will present a message indicating how many items were queued for indexing.

To review the profiles being indexed, enable the loggingDebug component in /atg/userprofiling/search/ProfileLiveDocumentSubmitter.

Customizing Manual Indexing

By default, manual re-indexing is configured to search for date ranges and IDs. However, you can customize the re-indexing process. To do this, you can define an RQL query, or write a customer class that implements the atg.search.routing.ManualIndexReqest interface that is referenced by the atg.repository.search.indexing.IndexingOutputConfig class. For information on extending and working with the IndexingOutputConfig class, refer to the ATG Search Administration Guide.
